The dis ricts cIgsc to Prince George were well represented in the ieed fair held in this city on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 20 th and 21st, and what is of g/eater significance they carrid off a heavy percentage of the prize.:. Of the seven y ce.tiled seed entries, fifty came from the d stricts closest to Prince George, and carried off twenty-eighi'j of the hiity-n'ne prizes awarded.
G. A. Luyat, district agriculturist at Williams Lake, who acted ns -".d'^e f the exhibi:s, spoke highly of the quality and seed exhibited, making special references to classes he considered as being of special merit. There were eleven en r es in the oat class and they constituted an exccllen. display. While the wet fall-weather resulted in a majority of the samples bein:c somewhat discolored, they were. never:he-le.c:s, of excellen quality. The leading variety was V'ctory, and the winning sample exceptionally fine. It was produced by Fletcher and Holt, of Ques-this intention was given the customers I nel. and weighed 45 Its. to the bushel.
