Abstract
IN English agriculture the “Royal Show” is the peak of the year, and the occasion in 1939 is of special significance as it marks the centenary of the Royal Agricultural Society of England. It is fitting, therefore, that the Show should be held during July 4–8 in the Royal Park of Windsor, and that the University of Reading, which increasingly plays a leading part in agricultural education and research, should have been invited to accept responsibility for the scientific exhibit. The exhibition in the building devoted to education, research and marketing was arranged by the Faculty of Agriculture and Horticulture of the University (including the National Institute for Research in Dairying and the British Dairy Institute) with additional exhibits by the counties of Buckingham (acting in co-operation with the Buckinghamshire Producers) and Northampton.
