MISSING FRUIT MODELS.
.«. EXTRAORDINARY SITUATION. [BY TELEGRAPH. PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Nelson, Friday. At a meeting of the committee of the Horticultural Society, the secretary reported having asked Mr. Kirk, the Government biologist, for the loan of the Department's fruit models for display at the coming show. A reply was received that the Department was unable to comply with the request, as the Department's museum was relinquished, and the models stored in some inaccessible place. On Mr. Graham, M.P., communicating with the Minister, a reply was received stating that the boxes of models were temporarily packed away until accommodation was seemed for the Agricultural Museum, hence the Department regretted that it could not get at them to lend them. Much disappointment, is expressed at the deprivation of an exhibition of such educational value, and the temporary loss to orchardists of models costing so much money and time in collection. The committee carried a. resolution regretting that so' valuable and instructive a collection is hot available for public instruction.
