NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW. \ # { In view of tie strenuous times through which the country is passing, the consequent lack of labour for general industries, through the tie- J mantis of tho Defence Department, and I the tlesire to lessen to some slight/ extent the calls on the Railway Department-. the committee has decided to reduce the days set aside lor the big Winter Show this year by one. Opinions of exhibitors were almost unanimous in supporting this departure, which vill not have any effect on the value of the show in any "way. The entries for the butter and cheese divisions are in. advance of last year by at least 100. and so far as present indications go, they point to a most successful function. The inter-Collegiate football matches (Wanganui-Te Aute) will be played on "Wednesday, June 20thj which will this year be the first day. The horse events are scheduled to take place on Thursday, June 21st, the usual time. Entries for competitive and Manawatu Poultry Association classes are timed to close on June 2nd. Schedules arc now available, and may be had free on application from the Secretary, Box 83, Palmerston N. 6
