HOCKEY

AIOTUEKA V. FEDERAL

The matcli, Motucka v. Federal the final game of the first round, was played at Motucka on Saturday and, after an exceptionally bard tuaalc, resulted in a win for Federal by one goal to nil. Federal won Lire toss and elected to defend the town goal. For the first seven or eight minutes Motucka were attacking, mid a hot shot from 11. Kenning’s stick narrowly missed the post. Federal, after relieving tlu* pressure. syt up a determined attack. S. Glover was handy and cleared effectively. Play continued up and down the field at. a very fast pace. Several of the Motueka forwards and halves were making very ineffective attempts at fielding the ball, far top much speculation being indulged in. K. l.ane, however, was playing a very reliable and safe game at fullback. B. Morgan, playing right fullback is not, in his right position; his services could he utilised far more effectively in the front line or possibly in the half line. Burnard, who was playing a good game, after some clever stick work, sent in to S. Goodall, whose shot hit the post and turned outside. Motueka decidely had the advantage in the first spell, the ball only reaching their circle on two occasions. They were unlucky in not scoring, good work by Frost and Federal’s goalie keeping them out.

Half time sounded with no score,

On resuming Federal for about five minutes put considerably more dash into; their play, one Federal forward getting right, away, with nobody blit the goalie to boat, but bis shot went wide of the post. Federal came again and here was seen the only really good passing rush of tile day; Motueka managed to clear the circle. Federal were not to he denied again setting up ii good attack, the Motueka goalie, in coming out to clear missed his shot, and liis second shot was snapped up by the oncoming forwards, a good shot by Hawthorne finding the netting. — Federal R Motueka 0. Motueka were now on their mettle, L. Kejling and E. Askew both putting; in soipe very good work. From a free hit the ball went to H. Burnard, who after beating two men, transferred to L. Kelling, who centred to G. Smith, his shot just missing the post. Burnard again securing, centred to S. Goodall, who slipped in shooting and missed a certain score. The Federal goalie, who was giving a first-class exhibition was now called upon to stop a particularly hot one; which he did in great style. With his cheek and hand he succeeded in glancing the hall outside the post. Almost on the call of time L. Kelling got away on his own and was unlucky not to score. Motueka were continually on the attack till the whistle went; they were unfortunate in not finding the net several times in the second half. The game ended—Federal 1. Motueka 0.

Air 'J. E. Boyce refereed in a very efficient manner.

TOBACCO GROWERS’ MEETING A general meeting of Motueka and district tobacco growers was held in the Anglican School on Wednesday evening for the purpose of (1) forming an association and (2) discussing export matters. Mr C. Lowe, chairman of committee, stated that Mr Campbell, Director of Horticulture had impressed upon him the need of forming aa association, as the Government could not possibly help the individual. He then explained to tlie meeting the advantages' that the tobacco groyvers would derive by the formation of an association. The chairman exhibited a really fine and interesting collection of kiln and sun dried tobaccos, including samples of cigarettes and pipe ‘ tobacco, cigars and pressed leaf, regarding which many questions were asked. The meeting was thrown open for general discussion. In reply to a question, the chairman said it was desirable to kiln dry tobacco leaf for the export market. With reference to the Government furnishing financial assistance to growers to erect kilns, he thought nothing would be done in this direction until the growers were a concrete body. Mr S. Rowling asked what it would cost to build a kiln?

The chairman replied that a suitable building, the description of which was given, could he erected for £100; and when not required for drying could he used as an ordinary shed. , Mr Lowe also explained the procedure of kiln drying and contingencies'- to guard against. Rapid admission of outside, air to a kiln in use. he said, caused objectionable blotches to the leaf and, if the moisture was retained too iono , ) the tobacco would turn a greyish colour. . kilns were not advisable, ns leaf from various growers would all be at the same stage of maturity; am! Iheie would also be the possibility of growers leaf being mixed. A kiln to x 16 was capable, of accommodating an acre of tobacco and one week was required to properly dry the leaf. Very useful information, with regard to planting and harvesting a prop, was furnished by Mr Lowe. Mr Owen asked what the position of growers was who were under contract. lie believed some had been told that if they helped in any way to form an association or m «?xport, thei r contracts would be cancelled. The chairman said he did not’expect place anythlntf of t,le kind would take
