The thirtieth spring show of the Manawatu and West Coast A. and P. Association will be held on Novemher 3, 4, and 5 next, 'and the prize schedules now to hand ■ indicate the fact that it_ is to be quite up to tho standard of its predecessors.'Tho show is being, held this vea'r for the benefit of our sick and wounded soldiers'.;' ;" It is peculiarly fitting that this, the-most important of our A. and ?. associations, ana the nearest approach to a national one'wo have, should moyo in- r.his direction, and'though the sacrifice is a big One, the",committee realises that there. aTo; 'public- duties to perform in which it -.'willingly takes a share. No doubt the" general public will acknowledge. this 'oy giving generous support either by -making entries or .'donating; to the prize .fund. From' the schedule just to hand: .we notice that the committee hns not interfered with the prize money, and wisely, 60, as .the cost of preparing exhibits for a show of this magnitude is heavy,, and exhibitors like to have at least .-a : sporting chance, of recouping themselves" on their outlay. Great improvemjents arc being effected on the grounds/ foremost among which is a grand pavilion for;/thq housing of . all tho purebred beef and dairy cattle divisions. This will bs an'immense boon to cattle breeders, who will now be'relieved of all anxiety from bad weather. Copies: of tho schedule can be had from the secretary, Mr. W. T. Penny, Box 85, Palmerston North." :
