That the increased interest manifested by North Taranaki farmers in the affairs of the Taranaki Metropolitan Agricultural Society a year or two ago is not of an evanescent nature is proved by the success that attended the opening of tlic eighth annual winter sliow in the Coronation Hall yesterday. Despite adverse circumstances, the c-ntries on the whole are in excess of those of last year. Practically all the produce, etc., on exhibition has been placed in the main liall, and is staged so that all can inspect it, whilst the majority of the side shows, etc., have been placed in one of the annexes. So well did the stewards work that by the opening hour all the judging was completed. Mr. W. P. Okey has charge of the secretarial duties, being assisted by Mr. Morgan, another return, ed soldier, and in this most essential department nothing was lacking. There are a number of very attractive trade displays, and numerous side shows. The catering department is in the capable hands of Mr. Wooller. Despite the unfavorable weather, there was a fair opening day attendance during the afternoon, the evening attendance being up to the average. The Citizens' Band, under Conductor P. W. 0. McLeod, rendered a programme of music that found an appreciative audience. THE OPENING. There was a fair attendance at the opening ceremony in the afternoon. Mr. J. S. Connett, president of the Taranaki A. and P. Association, said that before asking Mr. Okey, M.P., to open the show, he desired to apologise for the absence of the Minister of Agriculture and also the Mayor, who were unable to be present. Continuing, Mr. Connett expressed the hope that the efforts of the committee would be backed up in practical manner by the public. The Society had certain obligations to fulfil in taking over the new grounds at the Waiwakaiho. They needed all the cash procurable, and he also appealed to those holding debentures to send their inoney along. Mr. Okey, M.P., then expressed his pleasure at being present that afternoon. He was agreeably surprised at the general excellence of the display, and desired to congratulate workers and exhibitors on the splendid results they had been able to produce under such unfavorable s circumstances connected with j the weather during fjhc last few days. It lis4 also been a most unsatisfactory season for root crops owing to blights, club root, and other diseases akin to these crops. He was pleased to see the show kept up to the high standard while so many of our young farmers are away at the front. An attempt had been made by a southern society to stop all agricultural shows during the period of the war. The executive of the Taranaki Society protested by giving evidence before the Efficiency Board against this being done. He saw no reason why i the shows should be discontinued, and Was pleased the Taranaki Society had carried their point and would hold the show in due course. He did not think they should class agricultural and similar shows in the same category as sports. Producers would have a big say in winning the war. They were being urged to make the most of their crops, and he believed they would find the value of their crops doubled through farmers paying more attention to intensive farming. Those who had sons at the front would find that when their boys returned they would not be bothered with large holdings; but would follow the French farming system, and thus obtain better results by closer farming. He stated that the Society had also been of assistance to the wool growers in getting good prices for their wool. Taranaki was not a wool-growing centre, but the Society had assisted in conference to make the Government recognise their position, and a second conference saw the price paid -by the Government for wool required for khaki go up so much that it meant a difference of over £1,000,000 between the tw& conferences on the question. Besides interesting itself in the wool question, the Society had assisted in securing re. cognition in shipping problems, the butter question, etc. The Society had every claim for support from the farmers, and he trusted all present and those attending during the continuation of the show would strive their utmost to make it the success it deserved to be. The whole of the west end of the hall ia devoted to the display of combined farm products, and a very interesting feature of the show this is. There are three sections devoted to farm products from a single farm, exhibited by natives, and the products of a district. Each of these is a show in itself, and conveys even to the most casual onlooker some idea of the productivity of the Tarankai soil, and the skill and adaptability of its settlers and their families, for in each exhibit there is something the result of the efforts of father, mother and child. Unfortunately there is only one entry in each class, and though it appears from the general get up and the excellence and variety of the produce that each would be bard to beat, competition would add zest to the efforts of those who compete year after year, and would also tend to increase the interest in other districts. Three fine are devoted to these competitions and eßch of the exhibitors, who hail from the Bell Block district, has made the best use of lgha ijAcj at bit diiposal.

W. Pratt again lias a' groat display in tiie native court, comprising kinriknml, pumpkins (including the Great Turk's head). A Gordon bean, a giant about 3ft three inches long, and weighing pounds attracted much attention. The head of a wild boar adds a quaint touch. There is also a representation of an old time pah and the wakanui (Maori canoe), as well as Maori curios, including pui pui, mai Maori, taiaha, meres, etc., the whole making a display that is a tribute to Mr. Pratt's industry and enterprise. Mr. J. H. Street again scoTes in tlie products from one farm, making the second year in succession. This exhibit well repays irtspection, there being a groat array of vegetables, field produce, fruit, Utomc industries, etc.. making on? | marvel that sudi a display could be produced from one farm, particularly When that farmer is engaged in dairying, which, in itself, is a big tax on bis time. Tt, however, serves to show wbat can be done by practically evcrv dairy farmer if he works systematically. With such individual farmers in the district, one is prepared for a fine display in the Bell Block district exhibit, and one is not disappointed. Here is a very atractive display of practically everything that can be produced on the farm or manufactured therefrom by the former, bis wife or his child, and everything .-bown is a snnTnle that would be a prize taken in any show. A novelty is some Japanese quinces, shown for the first time. £ - As usual Mesdames Connett and Smelley. Misses Pote and Connett and Mr. Koller and his factory assistants were prominent in the arrangement of the hay, which again proves a great advertisement for the district

The townsman has not been forgotten, for there is a competition for home industries, the product of any one home. Thiii fliw drawn one entry, Mr. F. W. Sandlord, of Vogeltown, who has a very neat display of carving, woodwork, honey, etc., and also the working model of a loom, whilst Mrs. Sandford shows wool work, including balaclavas, which shs has knitted for patriotic purposes. Carving and photographs make up tho children's quota. Alongside Mr. Sandford displays the products of the apiarv. which ho has collected from North Taranaki apiarists, ranging from Rahotu to Urenui and as far down as Stratford. As usual the space allotted to the Technical College exhibits attracted considerable attention. The display of manufactured goods by the first and second year students reflected great credit «on the boys and also on their instructors, Messrs Kirkpatriek and Skelton. A force pump, manufactured by second year boys, was a fine demonstration of what work is accomplished at the college. A neat little forge, by the first year boys was also the centre of attraction and elicited very favorable comment. Steel and iron blocks, vices, bolts, squares, etc., were there in great variety, whilst fireside utensile showed further scope of boys' work. Tho drawings of engines, etc., by students, under care of Mr. Kirkpatriek, also indicated work of the highest art, the drawings being clear and correct in every detail, It was very evident that the course of •tuition given to the lads is thorough in every sense, and should considerably aid the boys in their engineering work of the future.

The judges were very complimentary in their remarks on the Bell Block court, which they considered would hold its own in any competition, and they regretted that there was no competition. The home industry portion of the exhibit was a special feature, whilst the variety of the roots showed the capability of the district. Mr.' Street's exhibit they considered exceedingly well staged. They also regretted no competition in this class. They considered the native exhibit the best they had ever seen at New Plymouth, reflecting credit on Mr. Pratt's enthusiasm.

The New Plymouth High School exhibited six different varieties of mangolds, all fine specimens, grown by the boys under the supervision of the agricultural department. The New Plymouth Borough Council has on exhibition an interesting collection of vegetables and field roots which were grown on the Fitzroy sandhills by Mr. Day, showing how the sandhills can be brought into production by judicious fertilising. The pumpkins, melons and long,'red mangolds are particularly fine specimens.

The field roots are a strong section, the judges stating that they are very good on the whole, showing much better quality than last year, and generally fairly sound, though occasionally a fine-looking exhibit turned out very disappointing when tested. Farmers' classes are also good, some fine eeed being Bhown. Hams and bacons are weak. The home industries section was an excellent one. There was again keen competition in the bread classes, no less than nineteen competing, in the open I class, for which a cup is awarded. The judge (Mr. Geo. Young, Inglewood; works on a system of points, basing has adjudication on a maximum of 5 points each for texture, pile, crumb, color and general appearance. The cup will be held this year by Mrs. J. Austin, a new competitor, who scored 11% points. Mrs. F. Andrews, who has won the cup twice, and Mrs. Featherstone, once, both asain competed. The cup has to be won three times. The brown bread and currant bread was very good. In this section a trophy was donated by Mrs. Connett, as a points prize. There was also keen competition in the jams, sauces and pickles section, for which Mrs. Smellie donated a trophy. Fruit is not strong, lemons and guavas being all that is shown. Honey is a good section, and a feature is that all the exhibits are supplied by North Taranaki apiarists, who are making great advances and are evidently on the right lines, the judge remarking that two of the samples of granulated and liquid honey were as good as he had ever tasted. Comb honey is not as good as usual, the season not being favorable. The wax was splendid, giving the judge considerable trouble in placing it. All he considered was worth a prize. A special feature is the observation hives, honey, but the judge stated that it had evidently been heated and run into the jars too close to the show. Fancy work is a strong section, and the ladies will find much to interest them here. f The children's classes are also Very good. • FLI-KEELO is the only insect powder manufactured in Now Zealand by Britishers. NO FLIES CAN LIVE where FLI-KEELO is used. Flies carry diseass. FLI-KEELO kills flics. Obtainable from all chemists and storekeepers. 1 PARENTS. Protect your children against diphtheria.
