YPRES FARM SHOW
BRITISH FARMERS’ GIFTS
LONDON, April 17. The strangest agricultural show in history is to bold on May 9th in the central square of Ypres, where the Duke of Portland, as representative of the Royal Agricultural Society, will receive a welcome from farmers of the de_ stroyed regions of Belgium. The “ Royal” has sent over as a gut to the Continent more than—--2000 heifers, 3000 ewes,' 1000 pigs, 10,000 poultry, 8,000 fruit trees. as well as tools,, instruments,-seed, trees and such unexpected contributions as half a ton of Scotch pine-tree seed. A consignment of Ayrshire cows is going of all this pure-bred stock will ho among the exhibits; and the show should be a wonderful picture of what the help extended by British farmers to Belgium has done for that distressful district. The pace of reconstruction has been past belief.
