A meeting of the Kaponga Branch of the Farmers’ Union was held on Monday, 6th inst., Mr. D. Malone in the chair. It was decided to hold a field ' demonstration at an early date to in- I elude purebred and grade cattle of any breed under the capable tuition of Mr. !

F. Ranford, the well-known Stratford breeder. After discussion a decision was made to hold the function in the I yards of the local auctioneering firms, i as it was thought the central position i would tend to popularise the demon stra tion. To add variety to the proceedings a guessing competition as to the live weight of a sheep (lent by V. , Tait) will form part of the programme. With a view to gaining the interest of the' children, a judging competition is to take place after the children have recived instruction from the demonstrator. For this, prizes of the value of 5s first, 2s 6d second, and Is third are offered. A ladies’ committee is to be formed, and their duty (as usual) will be to attend to the catering. The following were appointed tu committee to canvass for ’entries: Messrs. Tait, D. Malone, Gwyn, Hollard and Dagg. The schedule will include: Bulls—(1) Weaners, (2) yearlings and 2-year-olds, (3) 3-year-olds and upwards. These must be purebred, but_jnay be of any breed. Cows —(1) Purebred in milk (any two), (2) grade cow (any age, any breed) in milk, (3) two-year heifers in milk (any breed), (4) yearling heifer (any breed), (5) calves (any breed). It was decided to advertise the demonstration in the Daily News and in the Hawera Star.
