o REMARKS BY M.P's OPENING OF SHOW * "We have a number of problems which concern us greatly," said Mr F. W. Doidge M.P. when speaking at the official opening of the Winter Show last Wednesday evening. "I refer to things overseas,'' he said. "We are the largest dairy producers in the world and the second largest wool growers and our one market is London. It has been so for 100 years, but times have changed. Great Bri_ tain by changing her fiscal policy and contemplating trade protection has given us food for very serious thought. The new attitude involves-us deeply, and it is a matter of apprehension for us to take note of it."' Mr Doidge went on to point out th'?4t Britain employed on the land, five times as many men as New Zenland, yet she imported meat to the value of ninety and dairy produce to the value of eighty millions. To.dav Britain had in office a Minister of Agriculture, Sir Reginald Dorman.Smith_ who had promised to bring one million men back to the land. Thus the position was fraught with deep possibilities for New Zealand and in watching the trend of events we could all, every one of us. hope that our own Minister of .Finance. Hon Walter Nash, would be sue eessful in his conversations with the British Minister and the Board of Trade. Touching on the same subject, Mr A. G. Hultquist M.P. for Bay of Plenty, said that he could say a good deal on the same subject, with parti, eular reference to the Smithfield market, the influence Lord Vesty had. and why preference was given to the Argentine. He might be accused of talking politics but in ai.y ease he could assure those present that though the present Government had many problems to face it was nevertheless determined to overcome them.

suring something really worthwhile. He appealed to those with an original turn of mind to co-operate in this respecit. In thanking the stewards, the ladies and the officials for the wonderful part they had played iu promoting the Mr Sullivan said that it was not by individual work that they could hope to attain success but by complete understanding and combined effort, VISITORS' IMPRESSIONS In offering his congratulations, the Mayor, Mr Barry, said that the show furnished an occasion, when people from tlie country could mingle with their friends in the town and compare notes. He complimented the workers and wished the Association all success. Mr Williams claimed that as a, politician it ill-became him to speak on a holiday, nevertheless he would spare his audience by curtailing his remarks, and thereby still continue, to enjoy his vacation. He remarked on the excellent quality of the maize and considered the show a credit to town and district. ''I hope the weather will improve, and that you will yet enjoy a splendidly .satisfactory show - ' said Mr F. W. Doidge. He was delighted to noite the success of the Edgecumbe Women's Institute in the district court section, that centre being in, the Tauranga electorate. Though he stood on the platform as eo_patroii with Mr Hultquist, he could assure his audience that when it came to representing the intere.st.si of the district, party politics were absolutely forgotten. He was proud to represent' with ?>lr Hultquist the fertile and vast area known, as the Bay of Plenty, of which this exhibition was an indication of its productivity. MR HULTQUIST'S GOOD WISHES Mr Hultquist expressed his pleasure a,t being invited to perform the opening ceremony. He had been assur ed that it the first occasion om which the weather had been wet ? and he certainly hoped it would be the la,sit. He understood that the exhibits had broken all records. This was in accordance with the growing area, of cultivable land and the increase in pig husbandry. It was pleas ing to re fleet that the number of pigs in the Whakatane district had been doubled during the past year, giving rise 'to ai new and thriving industry. He too extended his con., gratulations to the Young Farmers' Clubs which had been responsible for the display of vegetables and produce. The awards were:—■ AGRICULTURAL Stewards: Messrs E. J.
