WAIKATO SHOW

WEALTH FROM THE SOIL A GREAT EXHIBITION THE OFFICIAL OPENING WIDE RANGE OF DISPLAYS [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT] HAMILTON, Tuesday Great public interest was taken togay in the 27th Wnikato Winter Show, which was officially opened by Sir George Fowlds, of Auckland, the halls being crowded throughout the afternoon and evening. The success of the fixture was assured before the opening by the record number of entries received, but no further effort has been spared to make the exhibition more popular than its predecessors. Improvements have been effected in the arrangement of the displays, giving tho" public a greater opportunity to movo freely and inspect each exhibit. Prior to the opening ceremony, the chow choir sang tho National Anthem Biul the " Hymn to Music." The president, Mr. J. Treloar, welcomed the visitors and spoke of the encouraging indications in Europe and America which pointed to a lifting of the clouds of depression and gave promise of a better understanding between the nations of the world. Mr. Treloar appealed for the restoration of confidence /and the promotion of goodwill between town and country, The Spirit of Co-operation The Mayor, Mr. J. R.. Fow, spoko appreciatively of the efforts of the association in making the show as attractive as ever. Nowhere in the world were town and country interests so harmoniously blended as they were in tho ,Waikato Winter Show. The Minister of Health and membe,r for Hamilton, Hon. J. A. Young, heartily congratulated the association on its fine exhibition, and said the show reflected in a splendid way the co-opera-tion of those who lived in the town and the country. Mr. Young made reference to the valuable work of the secretary, Mr. W. H. Paul, and added that the show was a striking demonstration of what could be won from the Boil of the Waikato by the industry of its people. The world, he added, was passing through a great crisis, but every good citizen lived in the hope that the-next 12 months, if not less than that, would witness a marked change for the better. He felt that the solution of the world's difficulties would be found in the friendly interchange of trade between nations. Tremendous Growth ol Show Sir George Fowlds said the view he had had of the show revealed to him the tremendous growth it had made in recent years. Referring to worid economic conditions and the difficult times through which primary producers were passing, he said some of the causes of the trouble were beyond the control of the people of New Zealand, but some could be modified by local action. The universal drop in prices had been accentuated by war debts, reparations, and hostile tariffs. These tariffs had been born of a narrow nationalism, which was a great menace to the peace of the world, continued Sir George. If the World Economic Conference did not succeed in removing some of these causes and inculcate some common cense, there would be serious difficulties ahead.

Concluding, Sir George congratulated the people of Hamilton on the excellence of the show, and he complimented the association on its achievement. It was now one of the greatest fchows in the Dominion, and he hoped it would continue to grow with the passing of the years. He then formally declared the show open. « Main Features ol Show Chief interest centres in the array of butter and cheese entries, which have been laid out to make a most impressive display. The trophies won at the show are also on view, and proved a source of great interest. The fertility of the Waikato is strikingly shown in the root-crops section, which has drawn entries of uniformly high standard. Although the potatoes are fewer in number than in previous years, they are an outstanding class, and a pleasing feature of the section is that the locally-grown exhibits have been more than able to hold their own with Southern competitors. While a Canterbury grower was most successful in the mangold and carrot sections, tlie local entries are of a high standard, while some exceptionally fine pumpkins were on view, the collection of large varieties being one of the finest ever shown in New Zealand. The turnip classes were notable for the uniformly good quality displayed. Although the Waikato is not usually recognised as an orchard district, the fruit sections are well filled, the apples in particular attaining a very high standard. Women's District Courts

A feature which attracted considerable interest was the district court competition conducted by the Waikato [Federation of Women's Institutes. All the arts of the home s including needlework, baking, fruit preserving and knitting are represented. The other women's sections have drawn fine entries, and the displays of needlework and cookery are equal to the best standards of previous years. A,notable collection of photographic studies by Mr. H. E. Gaze, of Hamilton, is included in the art collection. These studieu, which are for exhibition only, have a.wards at the London and Paris Saioiia of Photography. In the competition classes there are a number of good prints, while the poster section includes several striking designs. A new feature which proved popular was the exhibition of engineering models, most of which are working, arranged by the Waikato Society of Model Engineers. Stationary engines of all kinds and locomotives are included, while yachts and launches are tested on a large pond in the centre of' the hall. A comprehensive selection of model aeroplanes is also on view, /while the building and assembly of different types of craft is demonstrated by attendants. Flying competitions are teing organised. All the stall space available has been ■Utilised and the exhibits include representative industries and all forms of manufactured articles interestinc both "to the farmer and the town dweller. 'As in former years, the side shows are seeommoclated on a level area just outside the main show buildings. The principal prize awards were as follows: ROOT CLASSES Mangolds.—W. N. Robinson, 1: T.
