BRITISH AGRICULTURAL
SHOWS.
The most striking feature of the agricultural shows held in Great Britain this year is the growing public interest in them. The great national shows especially the Bath and West; the Royal Counties. the Three Counties, the Highland, and the Royal Shows-have always at- tracted those interested in agrical- ture, and county shows have done the same. But there seems to be a growing tendency for the public who have no direct contact with
agriculture to visit the shows and to take a keen interest in the stock and in the various exhibits which demonstrate the progress of British agriculture. During the four days of the Royal Counties Show at Portsmouth at the beginning of Juné, 86,283 people attended it,
This interest in agriculture is due to various causes. The newspapers have of late devoted more than usual space to the subject. In some cases protective tariffs for the agricultural interests are demand ed; in others it is asserted that the
traditional British policy of free trade should be maintained; while the Government has put forward comprehensive schemes for agricul- tural development. The great in- dustrial depression has also no doubt turned mora and
1999, the Three Countics has taken, its place among the most repre |sentative shows in the country. The leading breeders of livestock send their nest specimens there, and the show also has an importanti educational side it keeps the farmers, and the young people who may become farmers, in touch with
the latest developments of science in its application to agriculture. This year the show was held at Hereford, the home of the famous Hereford breed of enttle. The not so
