The farmers in 1928 exported mostly to Britain, thj- export being £14,000,000 this year, compared with £7,000,000 last year. The Prince of 'Wales responding to the toast of his health, said he had compared memories with the Duke of York and they agreed upon the country’s great future. The presence of so many Empire builders and Sir James Parr's figures proved the necdIcssness of undue boasting. The Prince rejoiced that.
