agriculturists visiting the Exhibition. Following on this, 

 arrangements have been made for breeders and breed societies 

 to provide advertisements and books for distribution, so as 

 to supply the prospective buyer with the information neces- 

 sary to enable him to get into touch with the British breeder. 

 The whole exhibit has been placed in charge of a representa- 

 tive who will give information and advice to visitors. 



The Committee were able to secure for the Exhibit an 

 excellent position in the British Section, and it was placed in 

 position ready for the opening on the 23rd of April last. 



Buenos Aires Exhibition. — The International Agricultural 

 Exhibition at Buenos Aires did not come within the scope of 

 the Royal Commission, but the Board of Agriculture, in 

 view of the very important agricultural interests concerned, 

 determined in conjunction with the Board of Trade to send 

 an Agricultural Exhibit to that Exhibition, which opens in 

 June next. 



The exhibit includes (1) an exact duplicate of the collection 

 of photographs of breeds of British live stock which is being 

 shown at the Brussels Exhibition ; (2) a collection of photo- 

 graphs, diagrams, and mounted specimens to illustrate the 

 recent progress made by agricultural education and research 

 in this country ; and (3) a collection of samples of the principal 

 cereal and other seeds grown in England. 



British live stock is so well known in Argentina that the 

 display of photographs of celebrated pedigree animals will- 

 undoubtedly excite the interest of agriculturists, who it is 

 anticipated will visit the Exhibition from all parts of South 

 America. The Board, however, also attach much importance 

 to the educational exhibit, as they are of opinion that in view 

 of the excellent educational facilities which are now available 

 in this country, efforts should be made to induce the sons of 

 Argentine farmers and stock-owners to attend the agricultural 

 colleges of Great Britain. The knowledge which they would 

 acquire in this way of British live stock and machinery would 

 be likely indirectly to promote the trade in these and other 

 products. 



The Board of Agriculture have appointed Senor Don 

 Miguel de Hoz to be an Honorary Commissioner to represent 

 the Board at the Exhibition.
