WAIRARAPA SHOW

POPULAR WITH BREEDERS

PEOPLE'S DAY '' People's Day at the Wnirarapa A. and P.' Show at Carterton yesterday was a - : perfect day in more 6enses than one. The weather was gloriously fine; there : was a record attendance of the pubCic, and from all quarters the society caino -in for congratulation on tho general excellence of this year's exhibition. • The Carterton Show has always been a popu. lar one with *'tocbnen on account of the privilege« Swd accommodation niijgrudgingly afforded them. In thes respect tho Wairarapa A', and P.' Society eets a standard which even somo of the premier shows of tho Dominion do not come up to, The success of this year's show is but typical of the active growth of the society, until now it claims that its fixture is second to nono in importance—not even Canterbury—with the cx.eeption of tho Manawatu A. and P. So-

eiety*s Show., Other of the bigger shows in more populous centres may l*s Ihore spectacular exhibitions, but . th& Carterton Show appeaCs more than the-j ■ do to tho breedore and exhibitors gen. erally. The /W.rarapa Society's big rival is the Palnierston North, but the 1 consensus of opinion on the grounds '.•yesterday was that it is now running the Manawatu event pretty close. In . this connection the CnrtertoK officials point, out that their show leads the exhibition in sheep, while :os regards' cattlo it is not very , far behind. A very pleasing feature of - tho show was that local breeders show an increasing tendency to exhibit in'the'cattle, classes. With the .big jump in the prico of land they are beginning to realise the necessity of taking more out of their land, and that to 'achieve this end they must pay more attention to breeding tho type of stock Droductivo of the best results. One of the .signs of the time in this respect is tho ranid growth in tho membership of the Wairarapa and East Coast A. and P. Societv. Since its energetic secre-'-"tarv." Mr.. Ij: H: Smart, who was rcspony: fiiblo-for the excellent arrangements at this vear's show, assumed office the membership lias increased by four hundred, :'nnd it is still gaining in number. This 'was accomplished within tho last few jn.face'of the drawbacks incidental ' tn the. war., . The sate"'and grandstand receipts for the first dav amounted to £22 10s., nnd those of the second day to £192 Bs. The ■previous, best totals wero in 1913. when the first day's receipts were £17 25., and "the.second day's £180 os. Gd. On the first j davlast'-year the receipts were £20 lis., and those on the second day £82 '. "2g;Bd;'- ' .
