STRATFORD.

A. AND P. ASSOCIATION. (From Our Own Correspomlent.) The usual monthly mcetiii" of Dio above Association was held on Saturday afternoon. Present: Messrs E. Jackson ' i( rcsMcnt), ]?. Masters. K. Dingle, C. Jackson, \V. f.opdell. Pettigrcw, Huggett. Sliotter, .T Orr, Watlcin, Kutledge, Richards ami Bailey. » The executive submitted the following report:—Dog pens have been stored irndy for next year's show This will do away with the hire of dog tents and the cost of the erection of the pens if the i'.lieme of alterations to the people's stand is carried out as suggested by the executive. Subscriptions received to nate -Cflfi" 7s) show a considerable incea.se on last year, but the executive regret there arc still 200 subscriptions unpaid, and a special appeal is made to these members for same. The executive for an extension of time to report on the cost of converting the people's stand into a produce shod and luncheon room. As no proposal had been reeeiv i from the Patriotic Committee relative to holding a function on the show grounds on Easter Monday, the commit-ti-e would have to considci the advisability of holding a gymkhana. it would be necessary before the next snow tc move in the matter of having a stock route made to the grounds, as the trullie becomes very congested when exhibits aw being removed from the show. Members were urged to use their best »n----tieavors to secure as, many new members as possible. Speaking to the report, the president iMr. K. Jackson) stated that the bank position was very good, and he hoped the time was not far off when llios? members who had sto;>d at the back of the Association's finances would be released, from this obligation. They hid been vert fortunate in securing the interest and continued service of these members. The report was received. EASTER MONDAY DEMONSTRATION The president said lie would not like to sec the annual gathering at Raster go under this April.

Mr. J. B. Richards said the -Patriotic Committee had the idea that the public vere lacking in interest. He was sneaking in general terms. His impression was that a patriotic demonstration w:;s to be carried out by the Assoication and Committee.

Tlie president stated that in conversation with a member of the Committee Ihe latter gave the impression that the Patriotic Committee would noff bother this Easter. In reply to a question, Mr. Richards slated that the Committee met wcekl;', but the secretary had been out of tow.". Mr. Kendrick said the Committee should certainly advise the Association |(.f their intentions, so that the latter ln'ght know how to act. A little further discussion ensued and lie matter then dropped. STOCK MUTE. the president then drew attention to the necessity for a stock route to the show grounds. 4t present, on the second day, owners of stock when removing the cattle, horses, etc., had to use the, main road. Farmers and others were also starting to leave the. ground about the same time, and the danger of accidents thnugh motor traffic disturbing tin. cattle was very great. He had given the matter serious thought, and believed they could secure permission to use. a route for stock that would remove the, danger somewhat. He then explained where, the exhibitors would leave the grounds and secure a good road without delay or danger from the motor-car traffic.

Others agreed that the position would have to be faced. Probably the matter would be further ventilated at the ni'.\t meeting. Messrs J. Barraclough, Rawhitiroa, and W J. Phillips, T.owgarth, were elected members. A committee of three, Messrs C. .Jackson, Bailey, and Orr, were set up to consider the advisability of introducing a milking competition on lines suggested by Mr. Bailey by letter and explanation.

GENERAL. At the A. and P. Association meeting )n Saturday, the president drew attention to the Taranaki Show, to be held at New Plymouth on February 2S md March 1, and expressed the hope that the exhibitors round the Stratford district would assist tiie New Plymouth Show by exhibiting in large numbers. He stressed the point that their own Association had received generous support from New Plymouth, and he would like to see Stratford well represented. He trusted the New Plymouth Association would oiebrate the opening of its new grounds by securing record entries of stock and attendance by the public. Speaking of cows exhibited, and of how a bad or inferior cow would sometimes beat a better beast, Mr. Bailey related an experience of his. In a miikmg competition he entered a cow that "was the wickedest beast under the sun." She would kick anything, but no matter how yon "belted'' her, or no matter what drsturbances were going on around, she milked well. He won with an animal that would be lost if milking was conducted under farm conditions, but in the slow rins, with crowds hanging around, la cow would not give the best result?.

Harvesting operations arc in full" «wing. Farmers are busy making most ise of the fleeting hours. Others who ire making the most use of their opportunities are the crowds of satisfies customers to C. E. .lames' jewellery and fancy goods warehouse. The wise folir know where the best value for money shop is, consequently C. E. James reports business good*
