Halfbreds are also wortny Tf notice S The Methven district occupies a dominant position in the quality of the fat stock it produces, and in both aheep ana lambs the reputation was well sustained yes""vttie made a creditable display. Shorthorns comprised eome outstanding beasts Mr R. J. Low scoring heavily in the major awards. Friesians also made an excellen display, and it is evident that treeders are intent on establishing a high standard m the black and white breed.. Tho dairy cows provided some really good rings. Draught horses were moderate, the mares providing the best rings. There were some nice gig horses, and" hackneys and hunters comprised some excellent stamps. The pony classes were well filled. There was keen competition, the display being equal in merit to the bigger shov-s. Methven enjoys a reputation for the quality of its roots production, and although there havo been better displays than that yesterday, there was nevertheless an excellent showing of turnips, mangolds, etc. Seeds were creditable, dairy produce outstanding, with remarkably keen competition, and cookery, etc., responsible for an impressive display of edibles. The show was altogether a fine exposition of tho rural resources of the Ashburton County, and may be numbered as one of the most successful in the Association's career. During the earlier part of the day the Hon. Sir Heaton Rhodes (Minister for Defence) was preeent at the function, and was an interested observer of the stock and produce.

TEMUKA-GERALDINE. (special to "the press.") TIMARU, March 30. The twelfth exhibition of the Temuka and Geroldine A. and P. Association was lieldj at Winchester to-day under ideal weather conditions and in th« presence of a large number of spectators. The show was very well arranged, and waa a great success financially and in every other way. The entries totalled 1239, compared with 107U last year and 826 the year beiore. The live stock and field and dairy produce formed a striking testimonial to the excellence oi the district as an agricultural centre. In the fat cattle section the outstanding feature was the winning bullock in the class for lat steer of any age. It was a six-year-old Polled AngusShorthorn cross, and was estimated to weigh 3000 pounds. It is owned by Messrs Hedley 3ros., of Seadown, and beat the big b-ullock which .was first at the . last Christchurch show owned by Mr C. Austin, of Winchester. Mr Andrew Grant, of Allandale, was the chief exhibitor of draught horses, of which he showed a particularly fine lot, and gained two championships in this section. Light horses and ponies made a fine showing. In the produce section,, potatoes, mangolds, carrots, and turnips were of surprising size and quality, and there was also a very fine display of fruit nad vegetables.
