An eye-witness account by Captain A. C. Rippin
This is the second occasion on which the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society's Show has been held at Scunthorpe, an industrial centre in an agricultural area.
The Society was formed seventy years ago by the amalgamation of the old North and South Lincolnshire Societies, and this week's is the sixty-second annual show (there were no shows during the Great War). Ten of the shows have been held at Lincoln; Grimsby, Louth, Grantham, and Spalding have had six each.
Captain Rippin, who is to talk about the Show tonight, is a farmer who lives near Horncastle, eighteen miles east of Lincoln, and a member of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society.
