OPENING CEREMONY

PERFORMED BY MINISTER. VALUE OF SHOW. The Show was opened yesterday afternoon by the Hon. W. Lee Martin, Minister of Agriculture, before a large crowd. Patrons were welcomed by the president, Mr. C. M. Wright, to the second exhibition in the Show building to pay tribute to the district in which they lived and which supported them with a kindness and richness exemplified in the magnificent display of produce at the Show. “I am proud to be able to tell you that entries at to-day's Show total almost 2000, which is a record, and which should prove most satisfactory to all those who helped to make this building. possible, as well as to the general mass of the residents of this

district,” said Mr. Wright. “From the small beginnings as a result of the efforts of the late Mr. S. R. Craig, the Show has grown to reflect the value of the district. I am perfectly safe in saying that there is no other Show worked under similar conditions in New Zealand that can compare with ours."

The Show was primarily held to demonstrate the possibilities of the district, and it presented in the main a fair picture of the potentialities of of the King Country. Because it was so necessary to show these in the district’s shop window, the Winter Show was essential to the advancement of the district.

“We are the centre of a huge area, of which the surface is so far hardly scratched, but we are learning every year and progressing,” hec ontinued. “The Winter Show’s continued growth is proof of this. Our root crops cannot be beaten, our butterfat sales are satisfactory, while our fat stock, wool and breeding stock are of excellent quality and are rapidly increasing in quantity.” Mr. Wright then referred to the educational and social value of the Show, and to the several features which had been arranged for this year’s exhibition. In thanking all present and all who had assisted the Association, Mr. Wright made special mention of Mr. H. Lurman, who had since the inception of the Show acted as honorary judge of the root crops.

Mr. W. J. Broadfoot, M.P., also held that in this district there was wonderful scope for development, and he reminded his hearers that if they did not advertise this themselves in such functions as the Winter Show, nobody would do it for them. He referred to how the Show had grown out of a small exhibition of root crops made by the Chamber Commerce, and congratulated those who turned up year after year to carry out the large amount of work that the Show entailed.

“The Show is living evidence of what can be clone here,” continued Mr. Broadfoot. “The rainfall used to worry us, but I consider now it is going to make this the best root growing district in New Zealand,”

The Hon. W. Lee Martin first apologised for the Prime Minister, who was suffering from a touch of influenza, but he had asked the speaker to convey good wishes to the president and his executive, and had wished the Show every success. Mr. Lee Martin then added his congratulations on the extent of the Show and the quality of the exhibits. He had been impressed with the quality of the root crops, particularly as the season had not been a good one, and felt that they compared very favourably with those exhibited in Hamilton.

One of the great advantages of shows was the bringing of town and country people together. In a country like New Zealand there was no room for any division, and the more closely urban and rural interests could be knit together the better it would be for the country. He then urged farmers to note the exhibit of the Department of Agriculture showing the manure experiments on grassland, the good results of the cobalt experiments, and many other matters of interest to farmers.

The Government had sought to help the farmer, he continued. Some £60,000 a year had been spent, mainly through the County Councils, to control noxious weeds, £15,000 had been spent on the herd improvement plan now getting under way, and over a million pounds had been granted last year for agricultural purposes. Though it was true that there had been a reduction in occupied unimproved land to the extent of 132,000 acres between 1935 and 1938, practically the v/hole of this had been unprofitable land and had been wisely discarded. Land that was sown in grasses and crops was now greater than in any other period of the country’s history, and between 1935 and 1938 this land had increased by 188,482 acres, or by 56,000 more than was discarded as unprofitable to work.

He went on to quote figures to show farming trends. The horse-power of farm electric motors had increased during the three years mentioned from 40,848 to 52,037, and of internal combustion engines from 67,662 to 71,813. All stock save dairy cows, which declined from 1,952,092 to 1,872,797, and pigs, in which the decline was very small, showed increases during this period. After again congratulating the Show Association, Mr. Lee Martin declared the 1939 Show open. The following are the results: — Wool Section. Ewe of Wether Fleece, Fine Crossbred: A. Goodwin 1, H.
