Owing to the growing interest in the school sections of the Hawera Winter Show and the continual adding of fresh classes, the Show directors have decided to delete the schoolboys from the schedule and to concentrate on the boys’ and girls’ clubs and the forestry sections in particular. A generous policy has been adopted in connection with the all-important question of afforestation, and £lO has been allotted in prize-money as follows: £o first prize, £3 second, and £2 third. Mr. J. It. Corrigan, M.P., chairman of the directorate, has intimated that he has seen the- Minister of Agriculture, who stated that £2OOO had been placed on the estimates for the furtherance of boys’ and girls] clubs in the Dominion. South Taranaki should get a reasonable share of this money, which will give alsded impetus to the work already bein£ carried out here.
