Bunnythorpe

(From Our Own Correspondent.) . Despite the adverse growing conditions experienced during the season there was a gratifying number of entries at the recent Bunuythorpe show. The standard of the entries was very good. In the decorative section there were more entries from novice competitors than at previous shows. The Young Farmers section was not quite up to expectations, but the entries received were of a good standard. The show was opened by Air. J. Linklatcr. He remarked that it was gratifying to see the Young Farmers section and to know that the JJunnythorpe branch was carrying on despite the fact that so many of their members were overseas. Miss Powell, president of the Women's Institute, thanked Mr. Linklatcr and also the judges, stewards and exhibitors. Afternoon tea and supper was served by Airs. Armstrong and a willing band of workers. Results were: Alost points in show Airs. Les. Wood; most points by a W.I. member, Mrs. L. Wood; most entries in show by a W.T. member, Airs. L.
