THE WINTER SHOWS.

DEPARTMENTAL DISPLAYS. It is announced that owing to the heavy demand made by the Agricultural Department’s exhibits at A. and P. shows on the time of the expert officers of the Department, and the cost involved in the preparation, it has been decided to restrict the number of shows to be attended. In future two main displays will be made each year —one in the North Island and the other in the South Island. The former will be made alternately at Palmerston North and Auckland; provided that, should the Auckland Agricultural and Pastoral Association not be holding a winter show in the year in which its turn falls the display will be made at Hamilton. In the South Island the main display will be made at the Dunedin Winter Show. In addition to these main displays two other exhibits (one in each island) on a smaller scale will be made each year at the following places, taken in rotation, if the necessary arrangements can be made: —North Island: Hamilton, New Plymouth, Hawera, Hastings, and a northern town such as Whangarei or Dargaville, South Island : tnvercargill, Nelson, Blenheim, Christchurch, Timaru, and Ashburton. During the coming winter show season exhibits will .be made at Palmerston North and Hamilton in the North Island, and Dunedin and Invercargill in the South Island.
