SHOW JUDGING
FIXING A STANDARD. WHAT FRIESIAN BREEDERS HAVE ■' DONE. ' v "It is a matter for congratulations that this Association has been the lirst breed society in New Zealand to grapple seriously with the judging problem," stated the President (Mr. H. J. Merchant) in his address to the annual meeting of the N.Z. Friesian Cattle Breeders at Hamilton last iweeli. "Nothing could be more confusing and discouraging for inexperienced exhibitors and vexatious to mature ones, than the reversals of decisions one sees in attending a number of consecutive shows. More serious even that this is the giving of awards to inferior stock. It was with a view to securing more uniformity and a better standard of judging generally that the Council started calling the official judges together in conference. Several of such conferences have now been held, and have been highly successful in clarifying ideas and eliminating fads. Looking to the future I am convinced that these conferences will become more and more important and I foresee the time when they will assume the character of an examining body to assist and advise the Council in the appointment of future judges."
