•In a letter to the Manawatu A. and P. Association relative to the conditions of the past and future dairy farm competition. Mr G. \V. Tait, of Waitara, ono of the judges, stazes that from the large area and splendid country he went over it is apparent tliat 'this district will become in the near future a large dairying district, and competitions of the nature under notice must be productive of a great amount of good. Numberless valuable sugges- | tions were made by Mr Tate relaI tive to the dairying industry, particularly as regards the selection of bulls, Mr Tate stating one false . step in this direction might take years to rectify.
