HAWERA SHOW.

OPENING DAY YESTERDAY. A STRIKING DISPLAY. > FURTHER LIST OF AWARDS. The thirteenth Dominion Dairy Show at Hawera wan opened yesterday in favorable weather conditions. Steady progress has been made since the inception of the show in 1912, and this year there are fur- 1 ther improvements. The effect is particularly striking to those who have not visited it since its opening ten years ago, for they are amazed at the progress made. This .peaks volumes for the progressive character of the men who have controlled the institution. Though times have been somewhat difficult during the past year, the society has received splendid support both in the display and competitive sections, and the show is again admirably set out, enabling everything to be viewed to the best advantage. In the competitive section the schools take pnde of place for entries, and the keenness exhibited by the boys and girls, particularly in the agricultural club section, augurs well for Taranaki's future reputation as a dairy province. The agricultural club hall is well worth a special .vast. A feature of this show is that it is so arranged that every section has its own special location, when those interested can inspect the exhibits without interruption. ■This is much appreciated by the ladies, who are keenly interested in home industries and fancy work. The Hawera Acclimatisation Society has a very attractive

educational and instructive exhibit. This has grown from a very small corner in one of the main halls until it now occupies two large bays, and forms a splendid nature-study of fi’h and bird life, etc. The directors, of whom Mr J. R. Corrigan fe ehairman, have laid down a very progressive policy, and that policy has been admirably carried out by the manager and secretary, Mr. L. O. Hooker, whose organising ability is shown by the smoothness with which the show is managed, and he is assisted by a capable staff. The catering arrangements are controlled by the society and are of a high standard. A programme of music is provided during the afternoon, by an orchestra. A STRIKING CONTRAST. By the time fixed for the opening there was a very good attendance. Mr. J. R. Corrigan, the president, in a brief speech, contrasted that day’s show with the opening one 12 years ago, stating that the growth had been due to the assistance given by the people of the town and country. The policy of the directors was not to allow the show to remain as it was, but to go on steadily, making it the greatest show in New Zealand, and worthy of a district so favorably stuated and so fertile as South Taranaki. He touched on the excellent work done bv the bovs* and clubs, which had given an impetus to production, and by the display of roots taught a lesson to the older people as to what could be done if they were triers. He congratulated the promoters of these dubs, and hoped that their work would be carried on. He denied that the Winter Show committee were out -to make profits. The show had been started by a few enthuriasts for the benefit of the town and district. They had erected the buildings in which the show was held and on which there was a debt of £6400. Their share capital was £5OOO. but the property was worth from £25,000 to £30,000. Their policy had not been to pay dividends, but to improve their property, and he pointed out that they would require to expend another £lO,OOO to carry out the improvements in view. He thanked all those who had been instrumental in inaugurating the boys’ and girls’ clubs, and also those who had given trophies, mentioning Messrs. Sutton and Son (England), who had given two 35-guinea cups for mangolds. One was won by Mr. Dakers, of Kaupokonui, and the other by Mr. Birth, of Maxwelltown. He also thanked

the Hawera Borough Council, the Dairy Division, and the Fields Division of the Agricultural Department. GREAT EDUCATIONAL VALUE. Mr. fc. Dixon, Mayor of Hawera, and M.P. for Fates, in opening the show, read a telegram from the Prime Minister expressing regret that the exigencies of buriness prevented either, himself or any of the Cabinet Ministers attending. Mr. Massey extended best wishes for the success >f the show, at ■ which he trusted the high standard of previous shows would be maintained. if not eclipsed. Mr. Dixon said he looked upon the show as of great educational value, not only to the farmers and the townspeople, but to the boys and girls. He stressed the importance of the work done under the auspices of the agricultural dubs, particularly mentioning the success of the girls, two sisters —Dorothy and Fileen Ward —having establi 3 hed records of 1524 tons and 141 tons 11 cwt. of mangolds to the acre, as against 77 tons last year. In carrots. John Bott in had grown 72 tons to the acre. These agricultural dubs were doing splendid work if they assisted boys to take up farming, and he urged all parents to inculcate in their children a love of country life, point- . ing out that there was too great a tendency to follow the professions, which would be crowded out. and he considered farmers should do ail they could to induce their boys to stick to the land. FERTILE TARANAKI.

Taranaki was essentially a dairying district, and though they had been passing through the slump he expressed pleasure that the reason had been a good one. He gave figures Showing the great proportion of butter -and cheese manufactured in Taranaki, showing that of 525 dairy factories in the Dominion. Taranaki possessed 131. Farmers had had to face difficulties such as they had never been called on to face before, and it was gratifying to find that there were some who were prepared to write off some of their mortgages and reduce interest, in order to assist. They should show their appreciation of this, which was an example for others to follow. He felt that a brighter day was coming, and that, provided they had health and strength and put their shoulders to the wheel, they would pull through. He was aorry that farmers had not succeeded in connection with the dairy pool, but he felt that something beneficial would come out of the education that had been gained during the discussion. He also forecasted a reduction in freights when the meat people and dairy people met the shipping companies. Mr. Dixon emphasised the neceanty for the adoption of a policy of advertising New Zealand produce in England, .considering that it would be wise for the fSowernment to spend money on this. He cd in British goods for British people, bt)t thought that as we were loyal we could Bfeect the British public to be loyal as far . Mpßchasiag Domimoa produce waa

cerned. In declaring the show open, he congratulated the chairman and directors on their progressive policy. OFFICIALS. Committee.—Messrs. J. R. Corrigan (president), R. F. Page, E. C. Barleyman, D.
