HAWERA SHOW.

THE OPENING DAY. A SPLENDID DISPLAY. FULL LIST GF AWARDS. The twelfth annual Dominion Dairy Show at Hawera opened yesterday, and will be continued throughout the week. The show makes up a splendid exhibition Though the show manager and secretary (Mr. L. 0. Hooker) had less space to work in than last year everything ia well displayed, but owing to the West Coast refrigerating rooms not being available, the motor cars had to be placed elsewhere. The entries in all the competitive sections are_much_larger than usual, showing an increase of over 1000, while the trade displays ate tjuite equal to the high standard set in past years. Tho extra wall space and benching space given by the sub-division of one of the main halls has been well utilised. One room is occupied by the Hawera Acclimatisation Society with a most attractive and instructive exhibit, another by the Wanganui Technical College, and others by the fancy work and home industries sections.

One of the most important features of the show is the attention that is paid to the educational side from the school children’s point of view. This is always a large section, and this year “It is more prominent than ever, the entries having increased from 825 to 1470. The writing and essays, etc., are displayed along the walls of the corridors. There was keen competition for the shields. The writing shield was won by Hastings District High School with"6o points, and then followed Sydenham 31 and Hawera main 20. The previous winners are: 1918, West End (New Plymouth); 1919, Oaonui; 1920, Hastings District High School. The essay shield, which has been held since its inception in 1918 by the West End School, was won by. Petone Convent with 53 points. New Plymouth Boys’ High School was second with 15 points, and West End was well down the list with 4 points. There is a striking display of farm produce from the boys’ and girls’ agricultural clubs, which have been recently established in connection with primary schools by the Farmers’ Union. A large room is devoted to this display Samples of roots are shown from the fields competitions, and as they, contain cards giving particulars of th* manures used and the methods of growing, they should prove of particular interest. Roots for competition from the plots are also splendid specimens. A feature is the interest shown by girls in these competiiions.the championship in mangolds and «wedes being won by girls, viz., Misses Annie Tomlinson (Ohangai) and Emily Wood (Rawhitirua). The cards show that the heaviest crop of mangolds was over 73 tons to the acre. In a portion of the room are also samples of roots selected from crops that competed in the competitions held under the auspices of the Fanners’ Union, viz., Matapu, Otakeho, Riverlea and Manaia, as well gs from the Toko Settlers’ Assoieation. The Manaia Demonstration Farm and the Stratford Model Dairy Farm are also represented by attractive stands containing root crops, grain seeds, wheat, lucerne, hay, etc. In one section are Shown notebooks, graphs, etc., in connection with the recent Eltham district potato-growing competition. Mr Deem, fields supervisor to the Agricultural Department, assisted by Messrs. Glasson and Schwass. was responsible for the arrangement. The machinery hall is replete with all the modern requirements essential to the successful farmer to-day, and there is much of interest to see. Judging was commence 4 early and by the opening of the show all was com-pleted,-though some of the classes were exceptionally la’rge. Mr. Goodwin the president, and the secretary (Mr. L. O. Hooker) had everything running smoothly.

OPENING CEREMONY.

SPEECH BY THE HON. C. J. PARR. PROSPECTS FOR PRODUCERS. The official opening of the show by the Hon. C. I. Parr (Minister of Public ‘sealthl took place in the presence of a large gathering. On behalf of the Winter Show Company, Mr. D. J. Goodwin (president) thanked Mr. Parr for making the visit. Referring to the show, he expressed the opinion that it was tie best exhibition they had had up to the present, and from year to year some advance was Oeing shown. The Mayor (Mr. E. Dixon, M.P.), in Extending a welcome to Mr. Parr, expressed pleasure that the Minister was present, he took a great interest in education, and the speaker looked upon the show as instructive, not only to the boys and -girls, but also to the people of* th? district. .4s one who took a great interest in municipal affairs, Mr. Parr would be keen to the progress made by the town. Proceeding, Mr. Dixon congratulated the company on having an up-to-date block of buildings, and he aieo remarked that if the show was to be expected to increase the people of the town must stand behind the directors, and see that they had buildings sufficient to meet the expansion of the show. He commended this aspect for the consideration of Hawera citizens. In congratulating the management on the success achieved, Mr. O. Hawken. M.P., expressed the opinion that the show was good for the - district, as it was a splendid advertisement; the present function was the best he had seen. Mr. Hawken congratulated the children on their very good display. Taranaki had always been well to the fore in agricultural work, particularly among the children, and from the exhibits they had made in the children’s agricultural lection great good must come out of it. Apologies for absence were received from Messrs, S. G. Smith and R. Masters, M.P.’s. Mr. Parr expressed his pleasure at coming to Hawera, and he prefaced his remarks by publicly offering his congratulations to the new member for the district (Mr. E Dixon). He offered an epologv for the unavoidable absence of the Wnister of Agriculture (the Hon. W. Noeworthy). i'l appreciate the fact that th ; s district, like every other, is up against it at the present time,” said Mr. Parr in the course of his address. ‘‘Fortunately your industry has not suffered to any extent as yet. What is in the futur? one cannot say. After August next,

chances; but, so far as I am able to judge, the prospects of a fair remuneration in the price for products are very fair. I don’t expect such a drop in the price of butter and cheese as will make the marketing of these articles unremunerative. . . . There is one other feature we shall have to attend to in New Zealand; I refer to the fact that the shipping companies of the world are simply robbing the farmers. Freights have gone up 400 per cent., and the very first thing that the British Government, and our Government, must do to help the farming industry is to strain every nerve to get these freights down to a payable proposition for the producers.

Congratulating the company and the president on the excellent exhibition this year, Mr. Parr said the display of the children’s work was easily the finest he had seen. He trusted this would continue, and that the agricultural clubs would be developed with a view to keeping the children in the direction they were pursuing, as this was the only policy that could make the nation strong and successful. He congratulated Hawera on being the show town for such an exhibition. The borough was one of the prettiest towns in New Zealand, and one of the cleanest. He trusted that the people would see that in this show they had education that was worth while, an indication of what farming meant, and of all the businesses that wete bound up in farming. Mr. Parr expressed the hope that the prosperity of the exhibition would continue, and he concluded by declaring the show open.

TRADE DISPLAYS

MESSRS. J. B. McEWAN & CO. LTD.’s DISPLAY. Gne of the finest exhibits at the Show ifi that of Messrs. J. B. Mac Ewan and Co., Ltd., dairy specialists, who again have on view the famous L.K.G. Milking Machines, complete with all the latest improvements. This machine, which has been on the market for close on twenty years, is the pioneer of milking plants. It has only been by the continued results obtained by its use and the service given that has allowed it to retain its lead in milking machines. Although this firm still sell the famous Thule cup, which for a number of years has proved its superiority in fast and clean milking, they have not neglected to advance with the requirements of the times, as can be seen by the simple and effective pulsator, improved releaser and other essential fittings. All other parts of the plant have been improved right up to present date, particular attention being given to sanitation, which enables the plant to be kept in order and cleaned with a minimum of labor. This firm supply any of the well-known makes of engines and vacuum pumps to run their plants, but the combination of the 2 1 / 2 - h.p. Anderson engine and Booth McDonald vacuum pump (which is being shown) would be difficult to improve upon for simplicity, economy and durability. The increased sales of this plant from year to year go to prove that it is long past its experimental stages, and any farmer installing the L,K.G. is absolutely assured of satisfactory results from the installation. There is also on exhibition a display of milk and water pumps, suitable for both dairy factories’ and farmers’ use, and it will pay all visitors to the show to make a special note to visit Messrs. MacEwan and Co.’s stall for all requirements in dairy lines.

BORTHWICK AND SONS’ DISPLAY

Messrs. Thos. Borthwick and Sons’ (Aus.) exhibit is up to the usual high standard of excellence and speaks volumes for the industry and capacity of their well-known Waitara works. The firm is now catering fully for the colonial meat market and is showing a full range in all sizes of all canned meats. The excellence of the quality of these meats is such that a very extensive connection has already been established. A feature of the exhibit is the splendid shok of bacon, flat and rolled. This department is under th? same capable cure? as in past seasons, and the appetising finish secured is a valuable addition to the excellent flavor of this well-known bacon. The firm is showing a good fine-grained quality of lard, but have only a limited quantity for market. The beef dripping exhibit is distinctly above the average and is finding much favor amongst bakers for pastry coking. Another product of topgrad? quality is tho Neatsfoot oil. This also is limited in quantity for sale purposes, and early ordering is necessary. Butchers will be interested to know that Borthwicks have available a quantity of pig casings. and weasands for small goods. Tlk> manure department of the firm is showing a quantity of excellent fertilisers suitable for our soils. Heavy reductions in prices have been made, thus placing their productions in easy competition with other manures offer- • •ing. , AH inquiries respecting Borth- i wicks’ productions should be made at 1 the Hawera Show stall, or at the firm’s i head office, Waitara. j

THE FARMERS’ CO-OP. SHOW STAND. The most noticeable exhibit in the motor section is that of the Farmers’ Co-op., with the famous Hupmobile cars in three and five-seaters, which give the acme of comfort and convenience, combined with great engine power and General artistic finish. These are the latest model Hupmobiles, th? five-seater having a factory built body, while the neatly built body of the three-seater is the product of New Zealand workmanship. Another exhibit is Magis Rubber Mend, which is inexpensive, easily used, quickly done, and therefore a. great boon to motorists. All automobile owners have tyre and tube troubles—-plenty, of ihem. Their vulcanising bills are disgustingly hige. Why not have a demonstration of this wonderful mend. It will cost, you nothing. Magic Rubber Mend overcomes all ihe objections of any method of repair, and is th - most effective rubber repair article in thd’ world. Send in your orders now or write for particulars.

DIDD MILKING MACMIINE. The famous Ridd Milking Machine is again on exhibition ar. the Winter Show and constitutes a portion of Messrs. Newton King, Ltd.’s exhibit in the Machinery Flail. It is a- well-known fact :ha(. Mr.'Ambrose Ridd (front whom the Ridd milking machine derives its name) was undoubtedly the founder of the milking machine, rot alone in this country, but in the world, and it is to the genius of this man that the dairy industry of New Zealand most partK’ilarly owes so much for the marked contribution he has made by his invention to iis great progress. It was Mr. Ridd who made the miik'ug machine and the. dairy cow his especial study, until, in 190/, he produced tho first really practical milking machine that the. world saw. Jn the interval Mr. Ridd has gofie. on improving his machine, untiLto-day it is the most perfect on the market. A cursory examination will at once convince the dairy farmer that th? Ridd is the simplest machine upon the market. The Ridd, too, is specially built for durability, all its rubber parts being made from the finest Para rubber. The releaser is made of specially tinned copper and the inflation cases are of heavily nickelled brass. In fact, every part of the machine has been given the most careful consideration and is made for use and service. In short, the Ridd is the farmers’ machine, because it is built for good, hard, solid use. A special feature of the Ridd stall is a two-cow releaser plant driven by a 3 h.p. Lister engine. In noting the features further, one is attracted by the raising can, which enables the milk pipe line to be kept as low as possible in the shed without in any way retarding the height to which it is wished to deliver the milk. An advantage of the lower pipe line is the greater facility it affords in the milking process, a point which must always be recognised when aiming at efficiency ir the shed. Fitted up at the Ridd stand for demonstrating purposes is an automatic pulsator. This provision is made for t&ariaines who may

happen to have their sheds located too far away from the water j>ower to permit of the mechanical pulsator being operated. As illustrating tho satisfactory operation of the automatic pulsz’.or, it may oc stated that tho Ridd firm have installed several plants with it, all of which are giving eminent satisfaction.

Four types of teat cups, which are being sold with the famous- Ridd machine, are being demonstrated with on the firm’s show stand. These comprise the standard cup, which is, without doubt, the quickest, cleanest, and best cup in the world. Tlie~ fiivorite Is > medium weight cup. absollitely sanitary and so constructed that a brush can he. passed through the inflation, while provision is also made fnr taking up the stretch. The soft inflation cup has an extension milk nipple which permits of the stretch of the inflation being taken up without having to take it out of the This cup was designed to meet the need of the dairyman who wants a soft inflation < up, and has met with remarkable success, particularly in the Stratford and Hawera districts. Tho 1920 cup is similar to the standard, but has the improvement of a patent attachment which, enables the stretch to be taken up in the inflation.

In conjunction with the Ridd machine is shown a 65 gallon Alfa Laval separator. Invented in 1878. the Alfa Laval was the first continuous cream separator, has revolutionised dairying the world over, has led at all times in every 3Cage of separator improvement and development, and stands further in the lead of everything else to-day than ever before.

As well as the 3 h.p. Lister engine shown with the Ridd machine, the firm are showing a 3 h.p. Lister engine mounted on a portable truck, a 3 h.p. Lister engine on a sledge, and a 2 h.p. Lister engine. Over 6'JOO of these engines have been sold in New Zealand up to the present. The Lister epgines are so well made and so utterly simple to use and handle that they cannot help being satisfactory. There is nothing to go wrong. Quality is the keynote of the design (>nd manufacture of the Lister engine, placing it in a class by itself as the best example of engine value to-day. In holding as they do the sole agency in Taranaki for ,he Lister engine and the Ridd machine, Messrs. Newton King, Ltd., can, combined with their well-known service and attention, otter a comb nation that is well worthy of the attention of e.ny farmei who is contemplating purchasing at milking machine.
