NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW

Amongst other attractions at the Show which commences on Wednesday next, there will be demonstrations of stack thatching by the students from the Government Central Development Farm at Weraroa. The demonstrations will be held in the Wheeler Memorial sheep pavilion each day, notice being given on tho blackboard in the main entrance. Tho outdoor events are to be of more than usual interest this year, commencing with the Wanganui-Te Ante football matches on Wednesday, a long list of horse and pony leaping entries on Thursday, and practically the whole of Friday to sheep dog trials. This latter is a most interesting item, and to those who have never seen a competition of this description, it should prove something of d surprise. Another instructive competition is milk testing for hoys and girls. This event, for which there are some 17 entrants, will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday under the grandstand. Another item is the pedigree oattle sale and show, in the cattle pavilion on Wednesday and Thursday. The exhibition buildings will be as is usual—a very full sight. All space has been applied for and allotted, and competitive entries in the produce and poultry sections are greatly in excess of last year, so that visitors will have finite sufficient to occupy their attention from start to finish,
