FRANKLIN A. & P. SHOW

SECOND DAY FINE. A FINANCIAL SUCCESS. "completion of awards. With a feeling i>f great gladness and relief members and officials of the Franklin A. and P. Society noted that the weather had changed for the better on Saturday morning, the squally weather of the previous day giving place to a fine day. The wind had veered round to the west, or west south-west. The sky was mottled with fleecy clouds, subduing the rays of the sun, so that the temperature was ideal, neither hot nor cold. Though the wretched weather on Friday had caused many people of the less venturesome sort to make up their minds not to attend the show, nevertheless people of average pluck smiled and donned their holiday attire on Saturday morning, and fairly large crowds came by north and south trains, giving the gatekeepers a busy time. Among the prominent visitors was the Right Hon. W. F. Massey, Prime Minister, M.P. for Franklin, Sir Frederick I.aing, M.P. for Manukau and Speaker of the House, Mr. C. J. Parr, M.P. Had the weather been good on the Friday as well as on Saturday, there is "little doubt that the attendance would have been a record, but it is gratifying t<> be able to state that the gate was good enough to ensure financial success. A feature of the show was the exhibition of Jersey cattle. This strain easily predominated as far as numbers were concerned, and demonstrated clearly that the Jersey was the most popular cow in this district. The quality of the little was absolutely unsurpassable, and a number of the exhibits would have held up their end of the stick in any show ring in the Dominion. Mr. H." W. Le Bail ley's champion bull, Golden Sovereign, was a typical specimen of the breed, and showed magnificent quality. With such a fine bulW.ie class of jersey stock augurs well ~l*>r the future in the 'Franklin district. The Shorthorns were an able second to the Jersey as far as numbers were concerned, and if the numbers are anything to judge by, it is safe to predict that in the very near future the Shorthorn will top the list. The exhibits of this strain of cattle did not lack anything on the score of quality, and a very favourable impression was created bv the show of the breed. That the qualitv of the Shorthorn is' rapidly improving was clearly dem"onst rated by tthe exhibits in the yearling and calf classes. The judge. Mr. E. A. Washer, was very highly impressed with the bull calf class. He gave it as his opinion that Mr. Samuel Lye's seven-months-old bull calf, Newstead Comet, was the finest calf he had ever seen. An opinion from such a well-known and qualified judge, such as the above speaks volumes for the welfare of the Shorthorns in Franklin, a district which is amply adapted for this breed. Practically a new strain in the eyes of the public is the pedigree milking Shorthorns. Although enthusiasts in this class have been studying the breed for years, it can be* stated that the breed is only beginning to come out, and that in a very short time tthe milking Shorthorn will predominate over all breeds in the Dominion. This is the contention of some very shrewd observers, and judging by the quality at the show grounds, the_ writer i? of the same opinion. It is claimed that a herd of milking Shorthorns recently averaged 351b of butter!at per month. The above speaks lor itself. The Holstein-Friesian cattle were not exhibited in large numbers, due no doubt to the fact that the breed is not a popular one in this district. The oninion no doubt is that the Friesian beast a large one —is too costly to keep on land so valuable as the Franklin land. The farmers claim that the Jerseys and Shorthorns do better per cow to the acre than do Friesians. Nevertheless the quality of the Friesians on show were a credit to any district, and the province. The most of the exhibits hailed from Aka Aka and Waiukn. which soil is suited to run sue!: cattle.. The quality of the Ayrshire cattle •-oated a grand impression, and : t can be stated without fear of contradiction that the stock would have compared very favourably with New Zealand's best. There were some very excellent beasts, Mr. W. K. Lavvton's bull, El Gallo, being an excellent offspring of the Ayrshire st rain. The champion dairy cow, a Fries - an. Mr. W. Louden's Hengerveh' Butter Girl, was easily in a class by herself, and it would be interesting to know how she would compete with the exhibits of Mr. H. I. Lovelock, of Palmerston North, and Mr. J. Donald, two well-known breeders of Holstein-Friesians. The country round about is well suited for fattening cattle. The grazing and beef classes demonstrated this. Mr. H. Swafield, of Pap.v toetoe, was the most prominent exhibitor. An excellent beast was that owned by Mr. Parry H. Sutton, while others would have been unbeatable anywhere. There was a poor showing of sheep as far as numbers were concerned, but some of the exhibits showed fine quality. They were not a champion lot. sheep breeding being really a side line in this district. The chief exhibitors were Messrs Eber Barriball, Thos. Hoult and A. E. Wright. Pigs, never a strong section, were stronger this year than previously. The principal exhibitors were Messrs E. J. Rogers, A. Rogers and Ruakura Farm of Instruction. The quality was right, and some good st.n'f was shown. On a whole the quality of the exhibits were a credit to the district, the province and the Dominion. The Horse Section. The horse entries constituted a record. In the blood stock section th-re were several good exhibits. A neautiful entire was Mr. H. Weal's Sjlvite. This animal showed high quality breeding, and was in a class by himself, lie is a beautifully-t toped horse, well ribbed up. and besides is a good-mannered horse. Messrs. Roulston Bros' brood mare. Te Coma was easily the "daisy" of the thoroughbred mares. There was an excellent showing in the hack classes, but Mr. John M. Fitness' black gelding, llikerangi, looked better than ever before, and was easily the best hack, although Miss G. Mailer's Bachelor was a horse that a large number of people held in high esteem. There were a good number of other good quality hacks. In the draught horse classes the entries were large. Mr. \V. Smeed s stallion, I m lie rat or, was easily the best entire. He showed good Clydesdale breeding, and looked exceptionally well. Mr. T. G. Woods' horses Ida Marshall and Kite, \yer.e a couple of draughts that would take a lot of beating in any show ring. The harness horses were a good all-round lot. and would show to advantage anvwhere.

The Junipers. On the whole the jumping was very poor. The water jump proved a source of trouble to fuur-lifths of the competitors. Only a very few cleared the obstacle in tine style. On the day Mr Thos. l'aton's ch.

m, Lady Norah, was easily the best .lumper. Dick. CvHone and Glenoid a!.o jumped well. Although the attendance was not as large as it would i'tive been under better weather conditions, the gate takings were suvrecord on account of the increase in the price • of admission from Is to Is 6d. The show was an unqualified success, due to the untiring efforts of the president, Air. J. N. Massey, and the secretary, Mr. Davft Ltjmiiton, and the otlicials who worfljMSssiduously throughout. The thanks of the is due to ,\li. E. Stanley, secretary of the Auckland A. and P. Association, who officiated as press steward. JUDGES' COMMENTS. Milking Shorthorns A representative of the "Times" interviewed some of the judges with a view to securing expressions of opinion. Mr. E. A. Washer, judge of the milking Shorthorn classes, strongly advisee* that the show committee should reorganise the Htj had had cows in calf, cows in milk, beef cows, dry heifers, etc, all in one class, which was obviously an unfair condition for some of the competitors. Also, attendants did not pay nearly enough attention to the bringing of cattle into the ring, • and "ring manners" generally. He thought that a number of young men<i should be taught by judges how to M lead animals in the ring, and they could teach others. The result would be fairer to both judges and competitors. Speaking of the quality of the stock, Mr. Washer was well satisfied. The yearling bull appeared to be of a rer.l good English type. On i the whole, the animals were as good as he liafl seen anywhere in the province. Jerseys. Mr. W. H. Booth was highly pleased with the class of stuff lined up before him. There were four really good cows, two of which were of outstanding merit. Unfortunately, there was no class for three-year-olds, as thev had no chance against the aged milking cows. There were two very good beasts in the two-year-olds', and the entries, 20, were the biggest he had judged. Decisions were difficult to arrive at, because, though so many were entered, the quality was remarkably uniform. In the heifer calves, four were well above the average. It was easy to pick out Golden Sovereign as the best bull. He was, apparently, of southern blood. There whs great difficulty in placing the reserve championship and deciding on the respective merits of the second prize agad bull and the first prize two-year-old. A slight lack of quality put the two-yearold out of place. The two-year-old class brought forth two extra good quality bulls, and the yearlings were a strong class, being well grown, be?ting anything he had seen in southern parts. The bull calves, another large class, would take some beating elsewhere. The grade cattie, right through, were the most even comparisons in the purebred Jersey : lot he had <seen for years. Milking classes, Mr. Booth said the first . champion and res. champion were well up to the standard in the southern parts of this island. of the cows would be hard to beagg? in any ling from Taranaki to Wai- , rarapa. lie would prefer her to the top cow at Stratford show. Ayrshires. The judge of the Ayrshires, Mr. jj D. Buchanan, considered that the class was a very fair one indeed. The first and second aged cows were, " good, and two three-year-old heifers were good enough for any The leading yearling heifer: was-38 stron"' and clean. 'lhe agefl bulls were also >a fine class. The two-year-olds were only middling, but first and second bull calves were'as , ;/<><;J as anyilrng he had seen. - x (Mr. C. K. Lawton was prominent, as dsual, his Fenwick Maggie, bred in Scolland, produced 480lbs of ,♦ butter-fat, semi-official test, and |his after recovering from milk feveK]T; • x 7T Friesians. They were as good as any classes 1, he had seen, was the opinion of Mr. A. J. Gallichan on the Friesians. The champion bull would beat anything he had seen in New Zealand, though there were some good OMR he had not yet seen. The leading '[ . cow was good, but would not beat some of the southern animals. The -V. yearling heifers were a splendid lot, •. and the same applied to the calves. The greatest fault was that exhibit- \ ors did not know how to show off their animals. If they would only put rugs on at home and tie them up to a fence occasionally to accustom them to ling conditions, it would improve their ring manners and prevent the possibility of their " being beaten by inferior animals that were shown to better advantage on account of their Grade Friesians should be in mixefe classes, because they were cross-? breds: they should be in mixed dairjf classes. It wrfs not fair to pit a crossbred against a purebred. There was no reason why breeders of oarticular strains at Pukekohe should not make a muster to increase the prize money, as had been done in Taranaki. Also, uniformity of judging standards was needed in order to let breeders know just what qualities were required, and to prevent the anomaly of a champidn animal at one show not being given a place at another centre. Judges in general were too conservative, the only remedy was to have .*Wnumber of younger men regularly In-'-structed, year after vear, by competent judges. Some judges were unconsciously biassed in favour of particular breeds.

Garden Produce. Speaking of the garden produce, Mr. W. Runciman, said there was a good display, making due allowances for the dry spring and a late severe frost. The stuff did not appear first class to look at, but it opened up well to the knife. Turnips were, generally good, but some were a little "dozy" inside. Onions and potatoes were well up to the standard. The carrots were good, but too young, and some of them were placed in the wrong classes, longs and shorts being mixed up. Among the Machinery. John \V. Andrew was present with the now well-known Ford ton trucks and Fordson tractors. Conspicuous in his stand were the latest in Ford cars, comprising a three-seater Coupelet, dosed in, and well finished (K192). The livc-seater Sedan (K3<>2) is the last word in Ford cars. I *'.s is a beautifully finished production, closed in after the latest American style, excluding wind and dust, t My splendidly suited to winter drivings Sliding windows are provided, and ,-v the corduroy upholstering is comfortable. All of this type now on the water are either fitted with sellstarters, or provision is . such. The body alone of the Sedan would cost 1250 to build locaUy. Attogether. with the rounded covers and excellent fittings in everywax, the Sedan and Coupelet givaMlikW in cars for people of # means. Mr. Andrew is nOW T*W* a beautifully illustrated ca printed, full of useful u,formation and giviny. in the course of its A pages, prices of parts, etc. the catalogues are ready for distribution the same will be duly noti find in the "Times." f .

Cooper and Curd. Cooper and Curd's exhibits comprised one 1920 six-cylinder Buick motor-.-.av, six different styles (f gigs, oi»' waggon, one spring dray. A list ol _w:it!i!'ons containing the names of 1} farmers who were aupplied in I'll!) indicated that Cooper "iid Curd's waeunns are sent to n'l part* Waikato. One striking % feature .mout the gigs was that four out (d the siv exhibited were fitted jy.'i t)iv,, Such excellent finish Vind a; lent Mil had been given tc each vehicle that it is hard to single out one for special mention, lhe pony gig'with a motot,seat iinlshed in the natural" wood, and i;tted with skirt wings and rubber tyres, was specially admired. Another gig with a motor seat painted grey, vvith yellow wheels, was the no. •°f much favourable comment. The six-cylinder Buick car was a fine example of the higty-class car this firm turns out. This car is so popular that the model displayed was for exhibition only, being sold before it went on the show ground. Treloar Milking Machines. Cooper and Curd are the local agents for this excellent machine, and a full-size two-cow plant was exhibited. All Treloar owners are satisfied and enthusiastic about the reliability of this machine. Yates and Co. Among the consistent supporter of the show are Messrs. Arthur ates and Co., the very reputable firm of seeds and manures merchants Prominent on were seeds, manures (special Wp-dressings,; ami also bird seed and calf feed), pumps and cultivators, grass and clow manures.
