WINTON SHOW

A WINTER EXHIBITION. A SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL. It is several years since Winton inaugurated its first show on an amalgamated basis —that is so far as the different varieties of winter products are concerned—rand it is also a number of years since the last effort of this nature was made. Yesterday the A. & P. Association made another start, and although, as is to be expected when a fixture of this nature loses its claim to be an annual event, the entries were not as large as on previous occasions, those connected with the effort may congratulate themselves on having successfully awakened public interest. And, after all, the interest of the fanner requires stimulating to make for the future success of competitions. The public, as represented by those living in, and in the vicinity of, Winton, rolled ftp freely, spending the afternoon and evening inspecting the exhibits, and the Association, although not recording any great monetary gain, should have the knowledge that the attempt has not been without a distinct educative value. In the distant past the fixture was an annual event for the Poultry Association, and perhaps it is only fair that yesterday the poultry should have shown by far the greatest number of entries. Taken all round the entry was «a very good one. The Plymouth Rocks and Minorcas were looked on as good and the remainder of the section as fair. Mr C. Cunningham was the judge. The exhibit of roots generally was hardly up to the standard that might have been expected from the Winton district, although this is doubtlass due to the fact that the agriculturists had little notice that the show was going to eventuate, it having been postponed indefinitely from last month. The potatoes were an especially poor lot, but the other roots compensated for them to some extent. In connection with the roots there was a display by the Agriculture Department representatives showing the value, as evidenced by experiments on the Winton farm, of the value of cultivation and lime so far as Southland is concerned. By specimens on exhibition it was shown that turnips without manure and not cultivated were much poorer than those without manure treatment but cultivated. Mr James Simpson was the judge. Although the entries in the cereal section (20) were small, the quality was high, especially in the oats class. The dairy produce and bacon section is always one to excite the interest of the ladies, even if they do not exhibit, and it is rather regrettable that so many should have decider! to criticise rather than compete. The entry' was small, but the quality was good, and that, probably, is the main thing. The sheep-dog trials were a source of considerable interest during the day, and again although there was a small entry the large number of spectators were probably satisfied with the exhibition that took place.
