WINTER SHOW.

WINTER SHOW.

SOME OF THE AWARDS.

After weeks of preparation, the South Taranaki Winter Show will to-morrow open its doors to the crowds of people whom it annually attracts to the chief town in this rich district. Everything will be life and bristle, and Hawera, forgetful of bad times, will enjoy a state of industry that will impart new vigour and enterprise into commerce generally.

The measure of success -which the show has always met with in the past is common knowledge to almost everyone in South Taranaki, but even those ■who have attended year by year cannot fail on the occasion of the 1924 show to he more impressed than ever. The effort certainly will eclipse anything ever witnessed here before. The association which controls operations has never looked back from the time of its inception; year by year the show has been increased in size, each exhibition being better than the last, until today the association owns the largest “permanent winter show buildings in the Dominion.” The buildings contain a total floor space of 80,000 square feet, 13,000 square feet having been added last year and 8000 square feet the previous year.

All arrangements have been carried out in the most systematic manner by t-lie manager, Mr. L. O. Hooker,, than whom it would be very difficult to find a more capable and enthusiastic organiser. The soundest judgment has been exercised in matters of even the smallest detail, so that the whole of the administrative machinery works with a mechanical exactness which arrests the attention of the onlooker, and ma.kes him realise that such a work requires much thought and preparation by those connected with our annual winter exhibition.

The popularity of tire show amongst exhibitors is everywhere recognised, and it is pleasing to be able to again announce that- entries constitute a. record, they being 500 in excess of last year.

There is not the slightest doubt that o Wlll be a distinct credit to m t Taranaki - The whole display will be. of a most comprehensive nature, with almost every branch of art and trade featured in the best possible way to attract the attention of every visitor.

Private enterprise will be portrayed on a large- scale, but one of‘the outstanding features will he the manner m winch Government enterprise has come in, to claim its .share of public attention and to educate people in matters winch are vital, to their well-

This is the first time that the Department of Industries and Commerce has shown in Hawera, and consequently geat interest will be manifested in this new departure. The object of Department s move is to'give the public some idea of the growth of New / aland s secondary industries, and this they do by means of pictorial and graphical illustrations, as well as bv a display of samples of some of the articles made. A section of the stand anrl S V- ev °r e ? tO , Saraon - Cook Islands, SlwT • Islands - tlle f ' raf ts of the natnes being demonstrated bv a display of baskets, mats, and '“swishvswishy tango skirts,” etc. Copra and samples of the various timbers grown m the islands are also exhibited.

In the Lloyd George Hall the exinclude those of the State Forest Service and the schools afforestation competition. The State Forest Service had a small display last year, out this time they are parrying out-a much more comprehensive scheme. With years of practical experience beJnnd them they are coming forward with a wide range of samoles of trees suitable for planting for‘shelter and ror the production of timber The young trees are mostly of the fastgrowing varieties and the most useful exotics successfully introduced Tnto the Dominion. Botanical specimens, timp7ay!d CClmenS and graphs are also dis-

. The schools afforestation competition is a new departure of considerable importance. The competition, which has been inaugurated with a view to encouraging general reafforestation work and a greater appreciation of the values ot New Zealand native timbers is open to all primary schools in Taranaki, and a shield has heen donated by Messrs £tt ?pd Co., timber merchants of Hawera. The competition is definiteIv educationai, for it provides for the children raising the plants and keeping a full account of the life history of the young trees. A s a matter of^fact the schools which have entered in the competition have made the scheme the basis of their nature study work, and ,, ls ' l °P e d that the trees will eventually become of practical service as the result of scholars who are able to do so taking the young plants homo and planting them in suitable places \ny surplus supplies will be sold to farmers in the district.

As usual, one of the most interesting displays is that of the Hawera Ac” chmatisation Society, The society is this year making an even moie comprehensive exhibit than on former occasions. and the council of the society in conjunction with the.- executive of the "Winter Show, have decided to offer prizes for the best essays bv school children on •‘lmpressions received from my visit \o the Hawera Acclimatisation Society’s exhibit at the Winter Show.” The society’s aim in making this offer is to encourage a spirit of sportsmanship in the youthful mind, to acquaint the budding sportsman w’th the- objects of the Acclimatisation Society and to impress upon him the wickedness of poaching and the wilful end illegal destruction nf fish or crame. Headmasters are asked to aive their scholars addresses on the Aerlimntisntion Society and its work, and it is to be honed that tlm circular which lias been sent out will bring n widespread response.

The show will lie formally opened at 2 p.m. to-morrow by the Hon. W. NoSworthjb Minister of Agriculture.

EXCELLENT ENTRIES RECEIVED.

FORMER EFFORTS ECLIPSED.

CHEESE. JUDGES’ REMARKS. The judges offer their congratulations on the increase in entries in the cheesesection. The cheeses have been benched in a clean and pleasing condition, which reflects credit on those responsible. The appearance and finish of the “rimless” cheese is most satisfactory, and the makers are to be congratulated on their efforts. The average quality of the exhibits compares favourably with that, of former shows, and the judges had some difficulty in separating the winning exhibits.

Defects were noticeable in colour in some exhibits, while in a tew the make was not quite up to the standard required.
