NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW

RECORD NUMBER OF TRADE EXHIBITS

AN AUSPICIOUS OPENING

RESULTS OF FIRST DAYS JUDGING

Dominion Special Service.

Palmerston North, June 18.

The Twenty-Seventh Annual National Dairy Show was opened to-day at the Manawatu Agricultural and Pastoral Association’s Showgrounds, and though the sky was dull and overcast, the sun shone intermittently, making a happy augury for the success of the show, which will be continued each day and night until Saturday night. The official opening will take place on Thursday, when His Excellency the Governor-General Sir Charles Fergusson will officiate.

The number of trade exhibits, which include displays by the Railway Department, State Forest Service, Departments of Health and Agriculture, and a stall from the Jubilee Institute for the Blind (Auckland) under the charge of the New Zealand Women’s Institute, constitute a record in number, and to cope with the exceptionally heavy demand for space the authorities have had to utilise the building usually allocated to the poultry exhibits, which this year will be located in another of the association’s many fine buildings. The entries in the schools’ classes are also a record and the number of sideshows and amusement booths equals the new record established at the Royal Show here last November. Total entries show a slight decrease on last year’s figures. The Palmerston North Borough Council has again had the Square and the main streets of the town brilliantly illuminated with coloured lights, thereby adding greatly to the beauty of the town at night and to the feeling of festivity already prevalent. The sheep dog trials in the oval attracted a number of spectators during the day. It is confidently anticipated that the townspeople will take advantage of the statutory half-holiday to-morrow to see the Te Aute-Palmerston North High School Moascar Cup Rugby football match, which will be broadcast by the Palmerston North station, 2ZF. Should the weather conditions be suitable, a match worthy of the best Show Rugby traditions may be expected. The fruit, honey, vegetables, farm and school roots, forestry, seeds, grain, farm produce, home industries, needlework, photography and farmers’ butter classes were judged to-day, while the fat stock and bacon entries will be judged to-mor-row, and the poultry division judges will commence their duties on Thursday. The three chief championships were won by B. H. Cliftt (Havelock North), The Manawatu Fruitgrowers’ Association (Palmerston North), ahd F. Peters (Walpawa) respectively. JUDGES’ COMMENTS VEGETABLES. Mr. G. A. Aggett, of Rongotea, who judged the vegetable and potato classes, stated that the general display, considering the time of the season, must be regarded as being uniformly good and true to type, the only fault in the potato classes being the large tubers exhibited. W. Copping’s collection and display of vegetables was an outstanding feature, and showed a wide variety. Thomas Webb’s display in this class, which secured the second award, lacked the variety, but was also a fine collection with quality predominating. FRUIT. "Though entries in the apple classes were not as good as the previous year, the quality of the fruit was particularly high,” said Mr. T. W. Attwood, of Lower Hutt, who judged the fruit classes. There were scarcely any faulty fruit in the whole show, and competition was particularly keen in all the classes. The export fruit classes were well represented, and fruit of outstanding merit only was exhibited. A noticeable feature of the show was the absence of fruit unprofitable from the commercial point of view, varieties of sterling proved commercial worth being on view. PHOTOGRAPHY. Entries in the photography classes showed an increase on last year's exhibits, while the quality was also an improvement. This year there were very few Indifferent amateur photographs. "The open classes compared very favourably with the other shows," commented Mr. F. J. Denton, of Wanganui. The high standard of quality was maintained throughout, and the majority of classes were productive of very keen competition. This year, too, the finishing off of the photographs showed better taste. The open and New Zealand landscape classes, however, was not up to standard. HOME INDUSTRIES.

The judge of the home cookery classes, Mr. M. E. Pereau, Foxton, was of the opinion that the exhibits were uniformly good, with the sponge and fruit cakes the best. The -preserves were particularly good, and although the entries in the sweets classes were small the quality compensated for the paucity of entries. . FIELD ROOTS. The standard in the mangolds sections was very high, stated Mr. J. Baxter. Hamilton, the judge in these classes. Entries were large throughout. The swedes were well grown, and of good quality. The red and white carrots were also excellent, but it was too late in the season for soft turnips. On the whole, the exhibits were very creditable. CHAFF. The chaff exhibits were fairly good, stated Mr. A. Buist, of Feilding. There were some very nice lines in the district which were not shown and a better response was necessary. , The hav classes created more competition and fair exhibits were entered. The quality of the hay and lucerne was excellent. In the grain and seeds competition was small and entries were very disappointing, although the quality was very good indeed.' The exhibits did not display the true value of the products of the Manawatu district. HONEY.

Both the liquid and granulated honey shown this year was of an exceedingly high standard, stated Mr. D. S. Robinson. Government apiarist, who judged the section. The quality was fairly even, and In some cases there was only half a point difference. Unfortunately sufficient attention had not always been paid to the colour. Although the comb honey section had been rather poorly supported, what combs were shown were of fair average quality. Export honey had the number of entries yet received for this show. The honey was most carefully packed and in all cases it would be found fit for export and of high Rrade. However. a little more care should be paid by the majority to keeping down scum. The entry of confectionery made with honey was of a very high quality. CHAMPIONSHIP AWARDS FRUIT Best collection of apples, champion class open to whole Dominion: B. H.
