226 Farm Prize Competition, 1912. 



Mr. C. Howard Taylor for accompanying ns during a long day 

 through a rather complicated country, in which, in his capacity 

 as Honorary Secretary of a local Hunt, he appeared to have 

 made himself familiar with every field and wood. While the 

 number of entries of plantations and nurseiies, namely twenty- 

 six, was perhaps hardly as many as miglit have been expected 

 from the County of York, we are sure that this was no fault 

 of Mr. Coltman Rogers, who takes so much interest in these 

 Competitions, and who had put himself to much trouble to let 

 the Competitions be widely known.
