TREND OF SYDNEY SHOW
It has been suggested to me b. quite a number of country people.* that the Sydney Royal Show is ''be. coming too much of a circus" (says an Australian correspondent) . The complaint is that undue prominence is being given to "trick"' affairs, to side shows and the like. It was also alleged that the industrial—meaning the manufacturing - side is tending to overshadow primary production from the official view point. As one prominent country exhibitor put it, the exhibits of the secondary industries seem to be get. ting more and more into , the foreground, while the exhibits of the primary production is dropping back into second place as far a s the official attitude and arrangements air concerned. There is something in their contenalthough we all should recognise that one of the first essentials is to get the public there in their hundreds of thousands, and this inevitably means something in the circus and the side show. GIANT -VEGETABLE Although giant gooseberries are not the season of giant kumikumis has arrived. A particularly large one hag been grown by Mr Vv. Black, of Paengaroa. Weighing 1?5 it is considered a probable re. cord for the Te Puke district, says the Rotorua Morning Post.
