WAIKATO WINTER SHOW

OPENED BY PRIME MINISTER.

RECORD NUMBER OF ENTRIES

FINE DISPLAY IN ALL SECTIONS.

[l)Y TELEGRAPH.— SPECIAL REPORTER.]

Hamilton, Monday. THE seventh annual Waikato Winter Show was opened here to-day. Despite tho somewhat inclement weather there was a record attendance The total entries this year are said to bo a record for the Dominion, and though so high in numbers the quality of exhibits is fully up to the standard set by this popular exhibition. Tho show is remarkable in that entries in tho various sections have been received not only from the Waikato. but -from all parts of the North Island. The show buildings have been greatly improved this year, two new buildings having been erected, which have been tho means of increasing the floor space by 13,000 square feet. Tho buildings have been tastefully decorated, and tho general interior presents a very fine appearance.

Tho exhibits of butter and cheese, which have come from far and near, provided keen competition, only very few points separating the respective winners. Hams and bacons were shown, in largo quantities, and the judge described them as being of excellent quality. The agricultural section provided a magnificent exhibition of field crops, which was universally admired. The display of poultry was so good that it would be hard to imagine a better one. The entries were large and the quality high, and those who visited this section spoke very highly of what they regarded as one of the features of the show.

One of tho most interesting exhibits, if not the most, is that from the KUMkura farm of instruction. Tho exhibition ol tnis department comprises over 3000 individual exuibits, included in which arc upward'] 01 1000 pot plants, grasses, weeds, shrubs, and native- plants, ino exhibit has been most attractively Bet up, and reflects very great oredit on the officials at the farm. The exhibit was toe centre of attraction to-day, and tho • general opinion was that it was about as comprehensive as it was possible to make it.

As an instance of enterprise in local industry tho exhibit of the AVaikato Co-opera-tive Bacon Co., Ltd., affords a striking instance. There is a large and comprehensive display of machinery and vehicles. The. entries in tho home industry sections are very fine indeed. Tho district courts shown by the districts of Te Aroha and Raglan attracted considerable attention. Both are flue illustrations of the respective districts' resources, and particularly worthy of special mention. The exhibition will remain open until Saturday. and judging by ' to-day's takings a record attendance may be confidently anticipated. The show was formally opened by the Prime Minister (the Hon. W. F. Massey) in his capacity as Minister for Lands and Agriculture. Among those present were the Hon. Dr. Pomaro (Ministerial representative of the native race), Mr. R. F. Bollard, M.P., Mr. J. A. Young, M.P... Messrs. A. E. Manning (Mayor of Hamilton), and F. Jolly (Mayor of Frankton). Mr. F. Si. Smith, president of the Waikato Winter Show Association, described briefly the growth of the winter show. 'this year's exhibits, he said, numbered 4000, and thus •constituted a record for the Dominion. Referring to the fact that the income of such an association was limited to its membership subscriptions, he suggested that their work could fairly make a claim upon tho community, and he suggested that local bodies should be given power to. help any association existing in New Zealand for the encouragement and benefit of agriculture and dairying. Messrs. Manning, Bollard and Young each gave brief addresses. Mr. Massey said that as Minister for .Lands he congratulated the association upon its show. Every exhibit in it was in some way an object-lesson to the farmers in the district. The show had grown, but that was only in keeping with tho progress of tho whole province in agricultural matters. He could remember when the Waikato was not an agricultural district, but its climate and responsive* son. and the efforts of its farmers, had effected a wonderful change, and now it was one of the most progressive and productive farming districts in New Zealand. Mr. Massev then dealt at some length with the growth of the dairy industry and the prospects of the farmer, indicating the great increase which had taken place in tho export of dairy produce in tho last year. Referring" to remarks made by Mr. Manning-. Mr. Massey said the Government well understood the country's need for good roads and for money cheaply available to the settler, and it would do everything possible to provide them. If it could not borrow, it could not lend, but he was glad to say that the credit of New Zealand stood as high, as that of any country in the. world, and- that the financial stringency was passing, and monoy was much easier than a few months ago. He had been able to raise the limits of advances to settlers from £500 to £600, and of advances to workers from £300 to £400, and in a short time, a good deal more might be done in this respect. Mr.' Massey said that one of his ambitions was to increase the amount of the Dominion's exports, just as a farmer would do it—by making non-productivo lands yield produce, and the productive lands yield more than thev were irivine-. T,r e desired also to promote in all possible ways education in agriculture. He hoped to see, before his term of office ende'.l, a great agricultural college in each island, to enable tho youn<r people of the Dominion to acquire the best knowledge of farming science, and thus to equip tho country better to compete in the markets of the world. - ■ Amidst much applause, Mr. Massey then declared the show opened.
