FARM AND GARDEN

ENTRIES SMALL IN NUMBER TECHNICAL SCHOOL EXHIBITS Entries in the farm and garden sections were not very .strong numerically, but some of the products were of a high standard, reflecting the potentiality of the soil in the Auckland Province. In the opinion of the judge, several of the winning entries in the fruit and garden produce divisions were of special merit, hut it was disappointing that no entries had been received in some sections. As usual, a fine display of produce was made by the Otahuhu Technici'.l High School. The awards were:—
