WAIKATO WINTER SHOW

DISPLAY AT HAMILTON", 1 {RECORD number of entries. SPEECH BY PRIME MINISTER, Tub ninth annual show of the Waikato 'Winter Show Association was opened at Hamilton yesterday in the presence of a ! large number of visitors. The formal Opening ceremony was performed by the Prime Minister, the Right Hon. W. ]?. Massey, while other members of Parliament present included the Hon. W. 11. Perries, Minister for Railways, the Hon. Dr. M. Pomare, Member representing the Native Race on the Executive, Mr. D. H. Guthrie, member for Oroua, Mr. J. A. Young, member for Waikato, and Mr. 11. J". Bollard, member for Raglan. The president, Mr. W. J. McKee, extended a very hearty welcomo to tho visitor?. Ho referred to the great progress made hv the association, and incidentally remarked that, so far, fears that the show would b? adversely affected by the war hail not been justified. The show had s-riAvn steadily from year to year, until, at present, he felt warranted in claiming that it, was the largest of its kind in the Dominion. (Applause.) The Mayor of Hamilton, Mr. A. E. Manning, also welcomed the visitors. In the course of a brief speech, ho paid a tribute to the memory of the late president, Mr. F. K. Smith, who had met his death in a motor accident since tho last .Winter show. It was mainly to Mr Smith that the association owed the position it pow held. The Hon. Dr. M. Pomare spoke of the progress of the district, which, ha said.' was" evidenced by tho display made at the show. The Hon, W. 11. Merries remarked that, as Minister for Railways, be knew that it took the Government all its time to keep up with tho demands of the district. Proper railway facilities had to be provided, however, for the progress of the district justified tho expenditure, (Applause.) Brief speeches were also made by the member for the district, Mr. J. A. Young, Mid the member for Raglan, Mr. 11. F. Bollard. The Prime Minister, who was given a inost enthusiastic reception, expressed himsell as much impressed by the day's display. Not another show in the Dominion could make such a fino display of turnips, swede*, and mangolds as lie had just seen. Referring generally to the prosperity of the Dominion, Mr. Massey remarked upon the great expansion of the export trade of recent years. For the last three years there had been an increase in the exports of no less than £8,000,000. The tiguresior the year ending March 31,1915, were £27,000,000, tho agricultural community providing no less than 87 per cent, of the whole. (Applause.) Even better results could have been obtained bad more phips been available. In conclusion, th* Prime Minister expressed the hope that the Waikato district would continue/to progress in the future as.it had done in the past. The Waikato Winter Show was appreciated by the people of the North island, and, in time to come, would be similarly appreciated by the people of the South Island. He then formally declared the show open. The entries totalled about 5005 i every district in the Auckland Province being represented. Many of the classes, too, 'drew entries from South Island centres, and ill the butter sections four-filths of the factories in the Dominion were represented. Practically every section in the fefcow had an increased number, of entries, and in spite of the extra floor space proAided, several would-be exhibitors had .to be refused. , The dairy section is always loosed upon • bd the principal department of the winter chow, and this year it surpassed all previous displays. The judges informed a Herald representative that the quality of the butter staged was of an exceedingly high order; the great bulk of the entries being sound, clean in flavour, and the winning lots of special merit. A noticeable feature in connection with the butter exhibits was the high of uniformity as between the different factories represented, and it was only in a few cases that the judges offered aw adverse criticism regarding the quality. Special mention was made of the butter exhibited by the Awalwri Butter Company, the judges saying it wan one of the finest entries seen by them at any show. In the cheese classes the competition was keen, some very lino Cjieeso being sent forward for competition. Although some irregularity -.vm noticcd in a few of the entries, the majority were quite up to show conditions. Tho judges made' Special reference to the appearance of sonic.of the exhibits, which showed a development of mould growth, and. while this did not seriously affect the quality of the produce, it greatly detracted from the finish. The judges remarked that, speaking gener allv, the dairy produce section was a great credit to' the respective dairy companies and their managers. .The lattui were to be congratulated on their efforts.
