THE WINTER SHOW.

THE WINTER SHOW.

RECORD ENTRIES AND GOOD QUALITY. A LARGE ATTENDANCE. The Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Society's seventeenth winter show was officially opened by the Hon. Thos. Mackenzie, Minister of Agriculture, on Tuesday afternoon. Year by year the society has, with its winter exhibition of produce, climbed to greater * successes, and it is generally acknowledged that the 1910 show constitutes yet another triumph. The second winter show (held in 1895) was credited with 469 exhibits; the sixteenth (1909) with 1002, and this year there are 1011 entries—a record. Taken as a whole, the quality of the exhibits this year compares favourably with that of any other show yet held in Otago. The display made by various firms and organisations, in addition to the exhibits, is highly interesting.and instructive. With regret the total absence of railway league, district and farmers' bays is noted, these, a few years ago, having been one of the features of the winter show. But the sightseer is compensated by tho Agricultural Department's magnificent exhibition, where persons in almost any department of industrial life may, in the course of a walk round, gather a hundred useful object lessons in tabloid form. The following- is tho prize-list so far as it was available: — FACTORY CHEESE. (Judges: The Dair}' Commissioner and Staff.) Six Large Cheeses, full cream New Zealand Cheddar-shaped cheese, suitable for export icolored). Prizes:' £4, £3, £l.

CUE FACTORY BUTTER FIRSTCLASS. Mr D. Cuddy, Chief Dairy Commissioner, interviewed immediately' after the judging, said : "The exhibition of butter at this show is one of the best that' I have seen —in fact, the quality of the whole of the entries may be classed as excellent. There is a noticeable improvement all round in this class of produce as compared with last year. One of the principal features about the butter is the degree of uniformity. A considerable amount of difficulty was experienced by the judges in selecting the prize-winners, owing to the butter being so much alike. There is not an inferior box of butter in the show. This point is very important for the industry, and one for which we have been striving all along. The quality of the butter at this show is such that if we could raise the standard generally to this degree, little or no fault would be found on the British markets. No doubt the reason for this improvement in quality has been brought about largely by the pasteurisation of the cream. Already over 25 per cent, of the factories in New" Zealand have adopted this principle, and I believe that the bulk of the butter shown on this occasion has been made on that method, which accounts for the noticeable uniformity and the excellent flavor of the exhibits. You may also mention that the entries are larger than usual." STANDARD OF FACTORY CHEESE WELL MAINTAINED. Mr W. M. Singleton, of the Government staff, said : " In viewing the exhibits of factory cheese, the first feature that strikes the onlooker is the clean appearance that it all presents. In this respect the cheese is one of the best exhibits we have ever had. This appearance is contributed to largely by the finish which the managers have given to the cheese. For this they deserve every credit. The number of the exhibits this year is perhaps not quite so large as in other recent years, but this is probably only a temporary disadvantage. The managers of one or two of the factories which have heretofore been amongst the largest exhibitors have not entered this year. Previously some of the smaller makers felt that they had not an equal chance when exhibiting against some of the larger factories, but owing to these larger factories (whose managers have won their spurs) standing out, this objection should in future years be removed, and in all likelihood we shall have large entries from the newer factories. The quality this year is well maintained, and, although the highest score is not any higher than has been the case for some years, there is an absence of low scoring exhibits. The general average is therefore fully up to, if not rather above, other years." FARMERS' BUTTER. Judge : Mr W. Moore (Milton). Mr More was highly pleased with the quality of the butter in all exhibits—not only among the prize-winners. The fancy butter in its way was unique, and the arrangement of the special table butter was indeed a work of art. Results : 21b fresh butter. Prizes, £1 10s, 15s, and 10e.—Mrs J.

The society this year made a new departure in this section by adding to each of the principal classes a class for exhibitors who had not previously won. This swelled the lists very much. As for the judging, it may be mentioned that after the fadies had finished they took round the referee (Mr James Brown), and he picked '' first'' in ever so many classes.

Although competition was not keen the quality of the honey was. particularly good, more especially in the three placed exhibits of the class—honey in glass bottles. Miss Kempshell got first and second awards, only a point between each. They were fine, clear, and well set up samples. As for the fruit, the apples were really a first-class lot, . beautifully colored, and in prime condition, except for one or two cases, which were a little bruised. The flavor was also fine, caused partly, of course by the fine warm season. The cooking apples were fit for any show in the world. The best set of Rymers were in the lot exhibited by Mrs Banks. 41b of honey, in bottles. Prizes, £1 and 10s.— Miss E. Kempshell (Maungatua) 1 and 2, Mrs G. M'Cullough h.c. 41b honey, in comb.—John Young (Allanton) 1, Miss Kempshell 2. Collection of dessert apples. Prizes, £2 and £l.—William T. Banks (Maungatua) 1 and 2, Howdon and Moncrieff h.c.

Holmes, North-east Harbor (21b 15£oz), 1; Mrs R. G. Diack (21b 15oz), 2. DRESSED POULTRY. Judge : Mr W. MacQuaid. Mr MacQuaid remarked that although the display was not so large as he had expected, it was very fine in point of quality, and some of the exhibits would hold their own anywhere. The best classes were the turkeys and the trussed fowls (open). Regarding the latter, Mr MacQuaid stated that the winning pair (exhibited by Mr Tyler) were a pair that for age and weight would be hard to beat. The second pair (exhibited by Mr Stewart) were also fine, but ill-matched. Results: Pair of fowls, trussed and ready for cooking. Prizes, £1 and 10s.—G. H. Tyler (Dunedin) 1, William Stewart 2. Pair of fowls (not eligible to poulterers or tradesmen). Prizes, £1 and 10s. —A. S. Evans (Dunedin) 1, H. Sonntag 2. Pair of ducks, trussed and ready for cooking.

One turkey, trussed and ready for cooking. Prizes. £1 10s and 15s. —William Stewart 1 and 2. HAMS AND BACON. Judge: Mr W. H. Hitchen (Milton). Mr Hitchen regretted the poor competition in the classes for " sides," but he said ho had no doubt that the exhibits well deserved the prizes bestowed. The "rolls," on the other hand, produced excellent competition, and here he found the best average of quality. In the class for smoked rolls Mr Hitchen had no hesitation in awarding R. Neilson first prize for quality of meat and good cure, but he had Btigb. to discriminate, between the exJaibits

' placed second and third. The results were: Two sides smoked bacon. Prizes. £1 and 10s. —R. Meredith (Invercargill) 1, A. and J. M'Farlane h.c. Two sides green bacon. Prizes, £1 and 10s—A. and J.

The judge could have had no difficulty about selecting the Kakanui exhibit as the ■best of the three exhibits of vegetables. It is varied in character and well displayed. Ngapara comes second and Waipahi third. The Mornington School had a walk-over in the class for collection of produce. A •cake, a nice lot of apples, and some good grain are here shown with vegetables. THE GOVEENMENT EXHIBIT. The Department of Agriculture shows the best exhibit the department has ever sent to Dunedin, and Mr A. Macpherson, the field instructor for the South Island, who is in charge of it, 6ays it will probably be the best Government exhibit at any New Zealand show this year. As in former years, the display and ticketing of exhibits is wonderfully thorough and systematic. It is undoubtedly highly educative, not only to the general public, but also to the expert agriculturalist. And this is its chief purpose. As an instance of the educative value of the benches, there is one on which are shown thirty-four .different varieties of turnips, grown by Mr K. Mackenzie, of Geraldine —swede, yellow flesh, and white fleshed, and these have been picked for quality and suitability for stock rather than mere size. Among them are five varieties which are ready for feeding to stock within six weeks after sowing, and they suitable for early feeding to lambs or to sowing out with grass. Above the bench are tabulated results of the variety tests for turnips in the co-opera-tive field experiments in the South Island, in which the Government find seed, manure, and supervision, and the farmer supplies the labor and takes the crop. There are also tabulated results of the experiments in spraying potatoes last year to prevent disease. This table shows that in one case nearly five and a-half tons more of sound potatoes per acre were taken from the sprayed area than from the ■unsprayed. These tables might well be lieaded " How to Save Money." Besides showing farmers how to get the "best results with well-known roots and fodder plants, the department shows several new fodder plants. There is the soya -or soy bean (this exhibit coming from Dr Gow, of Sunnyside), which is beiieved to be a coming fodder piant, being a -splendid feed for cattle. The beans grown by Dr Gow compare well with those he imported, and the stalk is also used for fodder. There is also teosinte, another new fodder plant, from Mexico, which some consider to be a hybrid between maize and another plant, but which is •superior to maize in feeding value. There is also a sample of ensilage from Ruakura experimental farm, eighteen months •old.

Both Ruakura and Moumahaki farms send samples of corn in sheaf—wheat, barley, oats, spelt, emmer, and rye corn—as well as rye grasses with the roots attached, showing different stages of growth. Among the cereal exhibits is a duplicate ■of the sheaves sent to the Japan exhibit at the exhibition in London. There are eighteen varieties of wheat, twelve of oats, and five of barley. One thing worthy of notice is a sheaf of red straw Tuscan, grown by Mr J. Hamilton, of Winton. Despite the opinion some people have against Southland as a wheat-growing district; this is one of the best-grown wheats in the collection. Another is the solid- straw Tuscan. This was condemned by the Millers' Association (in the interests of the smaller mills) as not being a good milling wheat, and an attempt was made to discourage farmers from growing it. But Mr Macpherson had milling tests of it made in Australia, and the result was it proved the third best milling wheat grown in New Zealand. There is also a duplicate exhibit (in seed) of the wheat, oats, barley, peas, beans, linseed, and grass despatched six weeks ago to the Argentine exhibition. From Ruakura also come samples of wheats not usually grown in New Zealand.

The fibre exhibits well deserve the close attention of flax-millers. Twenty different varieties of flax are shown from Weraroa. •During the show one leaf from each will be stripped to show the fibre. Besides this there are fibres from all parts of the world, such as Manila, etc. There is also a new fibre plant from Wairangi. It is a native of Central Africa, and wa6 discovered by a traveller, who, wishing to tie up his goods, was shown the plant '(asclepia, semi cunata) by some natives. It grows an extraordinary looking pod, inside of which is a silky material used for stuffing pillows. The fibre itself lies between the pith and' outer skin of the stalk.

The collection of weeds and grasses, with full information as to the soils each prefers, the value as fodder, etc., is more extensive .than ever. The entomological section shows a collection of injurious insects, both native and introduced, in the larva, pupa, and imago stages. The tickets to each show the habits and correct method of control of each specimen, and the whole exhibit is an object lesson in mounting of entomological specimens. Particularly interesting are the exhibits of the different species of fruit flies. The veterinary division again shows a pathological exhibit illustrative of the different diseases among ibeasts of the field. Brief mention only can be. mad* of the roots, etc., from Momahaki, the fruit, etc., from Tauranga, the honey exhibit (which imeludes samples from Canada and America 51s well as New Zealand), the specimen of foul brood, and a fine collection of apples and pears which have been in cold storage.
