Founded twenty years ago by a small band of enthusiastic settlers, the Katikati Agricultural and Pastoral Society has grown and prospered with the years until it has come to be recognised as being in the forefront of agricultural institutions in the Bay of Plenty. This position has been attained by a steady and gradual growth, which, reflects the economic solidarity of the western portion of Tauranga County for which the Katikati township is the centre. Right from its inception the Society has been particularly fortunate in its officials while it has also had behind it the whole-hearted co-operation of the business people anu the goodwill of the public. It is no exaggeration to say, therefore, that tne triumph of the Society represents honour and distinction for the district as a whole. The annual show is a notable event in Katikati and the twentieth exhibition on Saturday last, held in delightful weather in the picturesque grounds of the Uretara domain, attracted a record attendance from Te Aroha, Morriusville, Paeroa, Thames, Waikino, Walhi, Tauranga and many Bay of Plenty districts. Hitherto Katikati has been the final show in the Bay of Plenty circuit, but this year the order has been reversed, the Katikati show being the first in the Bay circuit, and it will be followed in rotation by the shows at Tauranga, Te Puke, Whakatane and Opotiki.

of the province, and formed a very popular feature. The handicapper was Mr C. L. Hardy, ot Auckland, and the starter, Mr W. Shannon, ot Waihi. In the leaping events the pronun ent hunters of the Bay of Plenty were seen in action, as the points gained by successful horses at the Katikati show count toward the final aggregates for various Bay of Plentj circuit prizes. The leaping was a tribute to me cleverness oi both horses and riders and was a fitting termination to a very enjoyable day. The light horses and ponies were paraded in large numbers and it was very pleasing to see so many ladies and girls competing in this section. The judge, Mr Hinton, stated that many of the horses were fit to compete with credit in the larger shows. Misg Wiggins, of Paeroa, won the championship for hacks with the well-mannered chestnut Well Away, who also secured the honours at Katikati last year. Both in numbers and quality the draughts compared very favourably with the shows of recent years, and served to indicate that heavy horses are coming back for farm and general haulage work. The prices paid for draught horses are being well maintained and the class of mares and foals showed that Katikati farmers are determined to do their part in improving the standard, both from the quality and utility viewpoints. Mr Verran, the judge, expressed himself as well pleased with the, section right through. The championship was carried off by Mr K. Morton's fine mare Belle, whose year, ling and foal each gained red ribbons. The Shorthorn cattie did not make a strong section numerically, but some good animals, owned by Mr R. C. J. Hunter, were led before the judge. The chilled beef trade is now proving remunerative and the Shorthorns are a breed which cannot be surpassed for quality. Once again the Jerseys formed the strongest section amongst the dairy cattle and some typical animals were exhibited. The competition was keen and strong teams were paraded from the well-known studs of Mr H. H, Sutton (Waihi Plains), Mr W. Crxmmins (Waikino), Mr T. W. Wardlaw (Waimana), Mrs M. A. Rogers, Mr E. Hofmann, Mr M. N. Trotter and other local breeders. Mr Miers, a noted authority on the breed, was very pleased with the section and considered that most of the winners were class enough to compete in any show. The champion cow was a typical animal and other good ones were the champion bull, and the vftn ners in the yearling heifer, bull calf and heifer calf classes. The championship for hulls was awarded to Mi E. Hofmann’s Tauwhare Standard, a grandson of the famous Beechlaud’s King Pin, bred by Dr. Aickin, of Helensville, while the reserve champion was Mr H. H. Sutton’s Tolgarth Cora’s Majesty, which the judge said was outstanding and should develop into a good sire. The-champion cow was Mrs M. A. Rogers’ Royton Flags Flirt, a heavy producer, bred by Mr H. Moreland, of Newstead, -and should be heard of again. The Friesians were represented by a very creditable collection from the studs of Mrs M. Webber, of Te Matai, Mr R. Mutton, of Te Puke, and Mr E. P. Walford, of Aongatete. The champion bull was Mr Mutton's Ottawa Colantha Segis and the champion cow belonged to Mrs M. Webber. Most of these cattle will be yarded at. the Tauranga show*on Wednesday. There was a record entry of Ayrshires, a very hardy breed, and the section was the best that has ever been seen in the Bay of Plenty. Mr A. C. Bailey, of the Maxwellton Stud, came from Wharepoa, Thames Valley, with a strong team of seven and annexed the two championships. The champion bull was the unbeaten Maxwellton Prince Fame, who has won twelve firsts and three'championships at shows held at Hamilton, Te Archa, Paeroa, Morrinsville and Katikati. The champion female was Mr Bailey’s Bonny Glen Lilac, a winner at Hamilton, Paeroa, Te Aroha and Katikati. Mr J. C. Wallace, the judge, who has been associated with Ayrshires for fifty years, said good constitution was noticeable in the cattle brought before him and he commended the quality right through. Mr S. Wright, of Aongatete, and Mr W. T. Waterson, of Tahawai, were represented by typey Ayrshires, and if this section maintains the progress of the past two years it will soon become one of the features of the show. The expansion of the pig raising Industry was exemplified by a marked increase in entries iu the pig classes. There was keen competition and numerous animals of high-class quality were penned. It was the finest display yet seen at Katikati and the Society is particularly fortunate iu being able to place the pens under the shade of large pine trees. The industry has great prospects for the development of the district and a meed of praise is due to tho breeders who trucked their pigs —in some instances fifty miles—in cider to promote competition.

Assiduous endeavours on the part of the Society’s Committee to expand activities resulted iu marked progress in nearly every section of the show. The numerous entries in the live stock classes were of high stan. dard of quality and the splentud condition of all animals went to prove that the fertility of the pastures of Katikati properties are being well maintained by judicious farm management. Steadily but surely the general farm position is improving and is appreciably better than it was a year ago, notably in the wool and meat producing branches and in lesser measure-iu the dairying and allied branches. World conditions, too. are improving and once the tariff barriers are obliterated New Zealand farmers will participate in a very material degree in the resultant prosperity. Katikati, as an important farming area in the Auckland Province, with its primary producing forces in excellent order, must benefit substantially in the improvement to come. Once again the show furnished a convincing indication of the sustained progress of the Katikati district, and its suitabilitj for the carrying on of dairying, sheep and cattle raising, maize growing, and fruit culture.

A very capable executive, led by the President, Mr G. B. Henry, ener. getically directed activities tnroughout the day. , The Secretary, 'Miss Pay Hume, carried out her arduous duties with great credit, and was aided very materially by Mr F. Kendall. The numerous departments of the show received earnest attention from an energetic body of stewards, with the result that the judging in all sections was completed to schedule time. Katikati enjoys a reputation for the hospitality of its people and this was admirably maintained on Saturday, thanks to the ladies, who once again assumed the arduous task of controlling the catering arrangements. The luncheon was served in the dining apartment of the Society’s main building and was enjoyed uy some hundreds of patrons. The committee in charge of the luncheon and afternoon tea was headed by Mrs G. B. Henry, while the counter lunch was controlled by Miss C. Hunter. The splendid help of the ladies was greatly appreciated and the warm thanks of the Society are due to them for the thorough success which they made of this department, The results of the judging were announced through Dixon’s Puolic Address System, Mr W, Howard being very prompt in notifying the awards.

The produce, vegetables, fruit, flowers and home industries went to complete a very comprehensive exhibition, and the very excellent result must have been very gratifying to the officials and the exhibitors who are to be congratulated on the allround success once again achieved. The judges’ awards were as follows:

During the afternoon the Hon. C E. Macmillan, Patron of the Society, was called on by the President to address the gathering, througn the loud speaker, and expressed his pleasure at being invited to open the show. Mr Macmillan complimented the executive stewards and exhibitors on the splendid array of exhibits. Some thirty years ago he was one of a number of residents who had started the preparation of the Uretara domain as a playground for Katikati and that day’s exhibition was vei'v gratifying indeed, Katikati was famous all over New Zealand tof its hospitality, which was epitomised at the annual show, and in that respect great credit was due to the ladies for the splendid manner in which they catered for the guests. A pleasing feature of the show was the large number of young competitors. ‘ Mr Macmillan then declared the show open. The President, Mr Henry, thanked the public for their attendance, and ajs'p the exhibitors, especially those from a distance, who llid helped in ensuring success. ' ' The grand parade’ of live stock was held at 2,30 p.m., Mr Gordon Putt acting as marshal). The Ayr shires, Jerseys,. Shorthorns, Frieslans, hgcks, ponies and draught horses circled the ring and then drew up in three lines facing the south end of the ground, More than ‘twenty boys participated in the greasy pig contest. The pig kept his pursuers busy for some minutes and was eventually captured by a native Jaa named J. Te Kiri, who was cheered for his victory.

The chopping matches were responsible for record entries, including a number of the leading axemen
