Goodfellow that the heaviest pumpkin in the Waikato Winter Show weigh ed 1501bs. "This is a challenge to the Bay of Plenty," said Mr Canning, "and I am going to back our farmers to produce a pumpkin which will make the Waikato vegetable look like a pebble." Mr Canning has therefore decided to offer a special prize of £1 Is to the heaviest pumpkin exhibited in the local Winter Show, exceeding 1501bs. This prize will be known as the "Canning Pumpkin Special.'-'
