Although it might he thought that interest in the agricultural shows would begin to wane after the passing of the Royal each year, yet, according to reports, one finds that actually interest in the current county _and district events is still well maintained.
The Sussex County Show opened at Chichester on Wednesday of last week. All branches were well represented. There was a good display of tractors and accessories on a number Of stands.
Immediately facing the entrance was an Overtime model N, exhibited by 'Messrs. Lintott, of Horsham, with a useful looking wide-breadth spike tooth tractor harrow, a tractor roll and land press, and a Massey-Harris tractor plough.
