C.B.E., President of the New Ter ritories Agricultural Association, that the aubject of a Market Day was brought up: I suggested to Mr. Wells that, in addition to his Association holding the Annual Show at Sheung Shui, they might organise a Market Day if the pro- duce of the New Territories, le to become better known to Hong Kong,

I am glad that the suggestion is: about to take practical shave and that, at the meeting of the Associa- tlon on the 23rd inat, the cutlines of the scheme will be discussed in greater detail.

This proposal 'may be entirely novel for Hong Kong, but it is not new when it is recalled that purchase of New Territories. pro- |duce, notably vegetables and eggs, was indulged in with avidity, not

I trust that the incoming Com- mittee of the K.R:A., elected on Fri- day last, will see fit to act on the suggestion now publicly advanced through the medium of the Press. The KR.A. will confer a decided boon not only on Kowloon residents but also, primarily on New Tor- ritories farmers who have hitherto gone about their business too mo- destly and not remunerated too well for their labours.

It| strikes upon a novel and original] effort which might be productive: of benefits in more directions than one. The scheme need not be an elaborate or expensive one. The members, out of their willingness to.co-operate, might be assisted by the ladies of Kowloon on appeal to organize the monthly Market Day! in a way that will bring New Ter ritories products to the better acquaintance of European and Chinese consumers.
