FARM COMPETITIONS
CANTER BURY DISAPPOINTMENT
Due mainly to the very wot summer, the crops in most districts in Canterbury are backward, and this is reflected in the poor support given to the classes in the annual Held roots competition, states the report presented to tho annual meeting of I lie Northern (ltangiora) Agricultural and Pastoral Association. The report also points out that, at a time when every endeavour is being made to interest tho community in tree planting, only two entries were received for the best-planted farm competition, which had been abandoned in consequence. “Tho community will obtain very definite advantages if more attention is paid to this side of farming, and, with the right, season approaching, wo would recommend n more vigorous scheme of planting throughout; tho whole of North Canterbury," is the comment of the committee. For the second time since it was reinstated, the flock owe competition held in conjunction with tlic Oxford Association is supported in only two I classes.
