This Month’s Cover
Another agricultural and pastoral show season is under wap in New Zealand and fixtures will be held in man}) centres from now until the late autumn. This month's cover, which has been reproduced from a colour photograph bp D. R. Brenchlep, is of the 1953 Taumarunui and District A. and P. show at Taumarunui. Much of the farm land around Taumarunui is typical of the North Island hill country which was surface sown after the bush had been felled and burnt. Even . today there are extensive areas of native timbers in the district and sawmilling is an important industry.
