This is the month of the annual festhal of the dairy farmers of the Manawatu and West Coast, and Secretary Penny, who is just now deep in the filial preparations for the Wintor Show, assures us that the 1915 festival is going to be as big a success as any of its predecessors. He has just compiled tile list of entries and sent eltem to the printers of the catalogue. 'J'he war has not affected the entries at all. In fact, there is not a foot of space now available for exhibits. The Machinery Hall will also be fully occul>icd. In the f ruit division—which has » new section, grading and packing— there will be a bigger display than ever. Another new division is that for lionev, which will bo under the direction of the Department of Agriculture, and entries for it have como in from both islands. Vegetables, roots, and seeds will exceed all previous shows, and liore again an addition provides for farm displays, for which there are five entries, i'oultry entries total_ over 1000, showilia that the interest in this department is better than well maintained. Yet another new and special feature will take place in the open air on the first day (Tuesday, .Tuna 2,3), when Mr. and Mis. Johnson, tho physical drill experts, will direct a ipass 'exhibition by school children. It is going to be Sc-me Great Show.
