Colibe, M.P.. and Minister of Defence, officially opened the fourth annual show iJf the Young Farmers’ Club at the Agricultural High School yesterday. From small beginnings the Show lias grown to such large extent that it is an afternoon’s work copying out the prize list uloue. leaving no time to inspect tli e exhibits.

Boys who had stock exhibits had evidently a good working know ledge of the leading breeders, and secured some of the best dairy stock, horses, anil other animals for competition. In addition. students and primary school children made the inside show with some excellent, samples of their own work. This year’s show was strong in art craft exhibits, the result of having an expert art instructor on thestaff of the High School. The organisation was excel hint. Mi*. J. M.
