MANAWATU JERSEY SHOW AND SALE.

The Manawatu Jersey Show and Sale to be held at the A. and P. Showgrounds, Palmerston North, on the 27th and 28th instant, is' the eleventh fixture since its establishment. This year, a record entry o£ 237 head has been made, representing 73 leading breeders frem every dairying district in the southern portion of the North Island and also Taranaki, Hawke's Bay and Wanganui. The increased number of entries makes it necessary to extend the sale this year to a two days’ fixture. The catalogue is quite remarkable for the number of highly backed butterfat sires. Practically every lot is supported with splendid records on the dam’s side and some of the most prepotent breeding femalo lines in the Dominion are represented. Breeders looking for herd sires arc strongly recommended to attend this fixture as in addition to tho progeny of the best New Zealand bred bulls there will be found also the progeny of some of the most notable bulls imported to the Dominion. These represent the world’s most famous breeding strains and their sons from outstanding cows should prove admirable sires for introducing fresh blood. There is a substantial improvement in tho prices for dairy produce already this season and there is every reason to believe that improved market values will bo obtained for our produce henceforth. This suggests the advisability of farmers taking advantage of ruling prices for bulls and securing outstanding sires for their herds. It is desired to point out that the services of the stud stock exports of Messrs Wright Stephenson and Co., Ltd., arc available to make selections on behalf of those unable to be present at tho sale.
