DEPARTMENTAL DISPLAYS AT SHOWS.

Owing to the very heavy demand made by departmental exhibits 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 IslandHamilton, New Plymouth, Hawera, Hastings, and a northern - town such as Whangarei or Dargaville ; South Island—lnvercargill, Nelson, Blenheim, Christchurch, Timaru, and. Ashburton. . During the coming winter-show, season exhibits will be made ,at Palmerston North and Ha,milt,on; in the North Island, and Dunedin and Invercargill in the South Island. .. ' , ' ,
