Ti! submitting bis ensilage award* at the 1913 show, Mr W. Dibble, judge, appended the following remarks:— "The ensilage exhibits judged by me to-day are a very great improvement on previous years. The show authorities are doing good work in encouraging ensilage making, as it has become one of the leading features in providing for stock at all seasons of tho year."
