PEOPLE’S DAY

BIG CROWD AT SHOW J THE FINAL AWARDS The Sixth Annual Show of the West Coast A. & P. Association was continued to-day in fine weather. A general half holiday was observed and the attendance, augmented by a large number of country yisitgrs for People’s Day; constituted a re<?<?i4 Special excursions were run <?n all the Westland Railway lines and were well patronised. Judges in the varjpus sections acclaimed the high quality of the exhibits. The West Coast live stock exhibits were of higher class than any previously shown, securing awards in both open and restricted classes.

With the judging all completed and the exhibits in the various classes all pjaced ip order for the inspection by the public to-day, People’s Day proved in every way successful, every part of the Show buildings and the stock pens being the centre of attraction all day. In addition to the exhibits, a very full programme of sporting items was provided, the racing by the whippets and the clay pigeon shooting being special , attractions, and out of the general run of sporting events seen in Greymouth. Owing to the size of some of the sections, particularly those for dogs, sheep, cattle, and fancy work, the work of judging occupied considerable time, and was not completed till late yesterday afternoon. , The chief event, so far as the farmers were concerned, decided to-day was the Butter-fat Test, for which eight picked cqws were competing. Mr C. Morgan Williams, of Kaiapoi, secured » first place 'with his Ayrshire cow “Maesqwyn May,” which yielded twenty-eight and a-half pounds of milk, showing a 4.2 test. Mr Wililams, therefore, holds the Legal Shield for the present eyar. In the Championship Class, Mr C. 'Morgafi Williams (Kaiapoi), Ayrshire cow “Maeggwyn May” was awarded the championship for the best cow in the Show. The following are the further awards msde yesterday afternoon and to-day: / CHAMPIONSHIP CATTLE.

The Jersey yearlings were equal to what would win in any Metropolitan Show in New Zealand, ahd shoujd hold their own w|th anything they would meet in a Royal Show'. He was glad to see that private breeders had more than held their own against the State Farin. In the Guernsey classes, the

cattle were equal to the best to be seen in any New Zealand show. He regretted that more cattle were not, shown in the Guernsey class. SHEEP LEICESTERS. (Judge: J. R. D. Johns). Ram (3) —W. J.

Kortegast’s “Linda Lou” JUDGE INTERVIEWED. “Generally speaking, the quality in the dogs has been very high, and it has been quite a revelation to me,” said Mr T. W. Hoggarth, Judge of the dogs. The Cocker Spaniels were outstandingly good, and were fit to win in any show in England. The Whippets were very good. The Cairn Terrier of Dr McKillop, “Ross’ Shire Chief” (Imp.) was a splendid animal, and was equal to anything in the world. I would also like to congratulate Mr McKane on his collies. They are of excellent quality, and the best I have seen in New Zealand.” Mr Leversedge’s dqgs were also of a high quality. The fox terriers were very fair, the Wellington bitch, Birchley Brqmble, being particularly high class. The Show compared well with others in the Dominion. PRODUCE Heaviest Cabbage (7): A. E.

Lennie, judge of the Horticultural, Vegetable and Fruit Sections. “I feel sure Greymouth could have put upa far better show.” Sweet peas, dahlias and the decorative, were the only classes filled to satisfaction. The potatoes might have been cleaner, and were not shown well. The crops were in evidence, but the showings were not even, and were bad with scab. The school classes had not responded in anything like the manner expected. The vegetables were very good, the competition in this section being right up to provincial standard, while the rhubarb was also very good. “I would also like to say of the six stalks of rhubarb exhibited by Mr. Houliston of Kokatahi, that it is the biggest red rhubarb I have ever seen at a Show in New Zealand for some time. It is also of excellent quality.” Mr. Lennie made several recommendations regarding a further definition of classes to the committee. Judged by the showings, several people had misread the intention of the classes. He advised the dividing of rhubarb into red and green classes, as the green stood little chance against the red when both were in the same class. ,

In the cou’rse of a long speech, Mr. Coates referred to the ' Government’s desire to alleviate unemployment, mentioning that a further three thousand men would shortly be placed on public works. He appealed to farmers to assist the Government to overcome the difficulty by using all labour offering wherever possible. The Premier congratulated the country on the favourable turn of its banking and trading,, and also the farming community for the manner in which they had answered the call for increased production. There was, he said, a tremendous field for improvement in the pork export trade, and while the Government did not believe that its scheme to assist this industry was the only one, they did feel that it would be an incentive to the farmer to do more to develop this highly profitable industry. Mr. Coates also referred to the efforts of the Government to assist the farmer through the application of scientific methods to his industry, and .intimated that the Cawthron Institute hoped shortly to make aif announcement concerning successful handling of some of the Dominion’s noxious weeds.
