Those who visited the exhibition had nothing but words of praise for the produce on view and the foreigners in "particular were very much impressed by the foreign, vegetables which they were surprised to find among the exhibits." Other exhibits like grain, rice and other cereals were so numerous that some of it had to be put under table space "for. view.

The exhibition was officially opened by Mr. Lawrence Ka- doorie at 230 p.m. but prior to the opening, a large crowd had gathered around its precincts at about 10.30 a.m. and very en- thusiastically admired the exhibits Attractive displays, not for com- petition, were again made by Lady Ho Tung.

Insect Pests

It is most unfortunate, that last |--- year your crops were, attacked by

insect peats. I understand that experiments are being made with a view to the destruction of these peats, and am confident enough to think that in the Government of this Colony, which takes a very real and kindly interest in the de- velopment of the New Territories especially in the direction of its agricultural Industries, you will find the technical assistance you need in all matters relating to the protection and the growing of the crops on which your livelihood de- pends.
