DISTRICT BAY COMPETITION An outstanding and noteworthy feature of last year's winter show was the District Bay exhibits, and the schedule for this year's show contains very full details'of the conditions governing this .year's competition. The space to be occupied by each bay is 80' feet. For organising expenses £4O is allowed, -provided the exhibits gain 40 percent, of the points scored by the winning bay. The entry fee is 20s. The total possible points are 450. To each bay must be attached a complete list of the whole of the exhibits. Decorations will be allowed, but will not be awarded points except for general effect. The prize is a challenge trophy, value 30 guineas, presented by the New Zealand Farmers' Co-operative Assocfa*tion of Canterbury, Ltd. v to be won three times before becoming the property of the winning district. The company will give trophies valued at five guineas :annually for the next three years to the association winning the challenge trophy. The trophy or trophies are to be added to th* prixe. list of the local association winning the challenge trophy. • , ■ • For the purposes of the competition the provincial district of Canterbury has been divided into..five districts as for last /ear. PRIZES MORE LIBERAL. Farmers, who have good roots, seeds, or fat stock on the farm, would be well advised to peruse the schedule of the Canterbury Winter Show, which is to be held by the Canterbury A. and P. Association and the Canterbury 'Manufacturers' Association in' conjunction, from August 4th to August 18th.
