WINTER SHOW

BALANCE OF AWARDS. YESTERDAY’S LARGE CROWD. CHILDREN’S DAY TO-DAY., The winter show at New Plymouth was continued yesterday under fine weather conditions, when there was a very large attendance, the building being crowded during the day and evening. The gate receipts, despite the fact that Thursday this year was not the half-holiday in town, show an increase over the same day last year. The crowd found much of interest in the various exhibits. The trade displays all appeared to be well patronised, whilst the various side shows, included among which may be mentioned the fish pond and duck pond, which are being run on behalf of the society, also attracted attention. Visiting side show mon are stationed at the rear of the hall, and they appeared to be doing well. Some of these shows are well worthy of a visit, notably the wonder boy in his marvellous glassblowing exhibition, and General Mite; also the Human Sky Scraper, “the tallest man on earth,” whose acquaintance is worth making. The ladies’ committee had a very busy time rendering invaluable help in attending to the catering, the excellence of which was favorably commented on. In addition the ladies are running a sweets and soft drinks stall, and also competitions for a model bungalow presented by Mr. J. C. Rowe, and for a cake presented by the Hygienic Bakery. During the evening the Citizens’ Band was present, under Bandmaster Lowe, and rendered a programme of music.

To-day will be Children's Day, when all school children will be admitted for 3d up to 7 p.Tn. SCHOOL EXHIBITS. SCHOOLS RURAL SECTION. The progress made by the teaching of nature study and elementary agriculture in Taranaki schools is shown by an inspection of the exhibit which is staged at the lower end of the main hall. This year an additional number of schools are represented, and there is also a decided improvement in the standard of the work shown. In an essentially rural district like Taranaki the importance of interesting children in this study cannot be too much stressed, as it must lay a foundation that will fit them the better for carrying on their work when they ultimately get on the land, and should tend to give increased production.

The* exhibit has two main divisions', one showing the results of practical work in the school plots and the other illustrating the theoretical work. There are specimens of farm crops wlych have been grown at various schools and with collections of native plants, written observations and drawings. Notebooks and graphs indicate the different aspects of the nature study, dairy work, weather records and seasonal observations. The neatness and skilful drawings and graphs call attention to the fact that the children taking the rural course are receiving valuable training in handicraft simultaneously with knowledge of nature and science. Nature study charts from schools in the King Country indicate the interest of the teachers and children and of work being done in even the smallest and most remotely situated schools.

Of particular interest are colored graphs showing the results of potato growing, a number of varieties having been sown under similar conditions. They are connected with the competition for a shield presented by the Farmers* Co-operative Society (Eltham), whieh was won by the Ngaere School in 192021. ‘ This school obtained 591 b of potatoes from 21b of seed in the case of the variety with which the best re-. Stilt was secured. The Eltham School, which won the shield in 1919-20, secured a yield of 701 b from 21b of seed -with their best variety this year. Ngaere won on quality. The 1920-21 season Kas a better one for potatoes than that of 1919-20. when the best result Eltham secured was 261 b of potatoes from 21b of seed. The whole exhibit is a credit to the children and teachers of the schools represented and to the agricultural instructors under the Education Board who direct the work.

TECHNICAL COLLEGE EXHIBIT. The New Plymouth Technical College is represented by a .ery comprehensive exhibit, showing the T« ; gb standard of work aimed at by that institution. Perhaps greatest interest centres in the engineering section. Here are showing drawinns, both free-hand and geometrical; all being accurately and neatly executed, whilst there are numerous samples of the practical side. Outstanding in the instrumental drawing section are fine examples of finished drawings in ink of steam engine parts and of a small lathe. The lathe is* to be the guide fur the construction by the students of a number of lathes for use in the workshop, indicating the essentially practical nature of the training. The freehand mechanical drawing includes representations of a motor-cycle engine, a 4-cylinder motor-car engine, a safety valve, and various other machine parts. On the practical side, the machines end tools displayed have been made by first year and second year students. ' The work done by- the sedond year students includes, two large vices and two large vice-screws, involving considerable skill in square thread cutting. The first year students have also done excellent work, their display consisting of a large number of tools required in the engineering workshop, including small vices, calipers, chisels and scribing blocks. The making of the scribing blocks in particular is a credit to the students, the accurate finish which was essential having been fully achieved. Another section is that of the boys who take the agricultural and industrial course. Their workshop activities are aimed at producing articles of everyday use in the home and on the farm and this object has been attained in an iron saucepan stand, hinges and tin funnels, etc. Other departments of the school work are also represented, including leatherwork, enamel work, copper work, dress-making, needle work,

NOTES ON THE SHOW. SOME OF THE FEATURES.- : Visitors comment on the decided improvement in the show this year, particularly in the arrangement of the exhibits. The main hall this year is practically free from salesmen and sideshows, which were so much in evidence some years ago. Their place has been taken by local busiii''ss people, a particularly pleasing feature being the revival of interest that has been taken in the show this year by local business men. If this revival continues it should not be long before the show takes a leading p] ace among the winter shows in the Dominion. The farmers have for years past been doing their part, and each year have sent forward a display of roots that would be hard to beat in any part of the Dominion. That farmers do come to the show with the idea of gaining information that will he useful to them in future years is evidenced from the keen way in which they inspect the various exhibits and the criticism and comparisons they make as between the winning roots and other exhibits. Many could not understand why the first award was given to some carrots when larger ones got second prize. This particular class, however, was for the acreage carrot competition, in which the full quarteracre was judged, the yield, freedom from weeds and evenness of crop being taken into consideration, one condition being that three .roots from the prize-winning crops should be shown. The prize tickets did not refer to the particular roots, but to the whole crop. A well-known authority, commenting on the excellence of the roots shown this year, remarked that taken right through the Taranaki province this year the root crops were much better than last year, and there was an almost entire absence of dry rot. This was attributable to the climatic conditions that had prevail-

The New Plymouth branch of the Plunket Society has a very interesting exhibit, illustrating the work that the society is performing in the interests of mothers and babies of the community. There is also a rest room, that will be much appreciated. The uses to whieh the generally superfluous benzip" tin and case may be put to with the application of a little ingenuity and handicraft, is strikingly illustrated by the display in the competition inaugurated by the Agricultural Society at the Winter Show. Here are to be seen neatly made buckets, dishes, saucepans, dippers, boats, children’s tea set, etc.,' all manufactured out of the tins, whilst the boxes have been converted into neat cruets, knife boxes, beehives, chicken run, etc.

A stall that proved of great interest to the majority of dairy farmers that visited the show was the exhibit of the New Plymouth Jersey Club, which comprised some enlargements of the most noted cattle of the breed in New Zealand, England and America, as well as literature showing the performances of this popular breed. in a prominent position outside is shown the worlds champion dairy cow on twice a day milking, Sultain’s* Daisy. The interior is also lined with some present day and old time champions, including the noted sire K.C.8.. who has had such an influence on Jersey stock in Taranaki, and, indeed, throughout the Dominion. This stall is an innovation that has proved so successful that it is likely to find a place in each future show. One woyild like to‘see the other breed societies follow suit, as everything that tends to give farmers information regarding dairy cattle should be welcomed and should be one of the main objects of the show. The stall is in charge of a number of members of the club. •TRADE DISPLAYS. KOI KER-THE PUNCTURE SCALIJJt. One of the most expensive items in the running of a motor-car. even where, the roads are good like they are in Taranaki, is the upkeep of. tyres. Messrs. Hill Bros, and Candy, of Hamilton, who have a stand at the winter show in the motor hall, claim that the use of Koi Ker, of which they are sole Australasian agents, will overcome this. Koi Ker eliminates CO per cent, of all tyre trouble by preserving the life of both tube and tyre. It is very simple to use and its cost is within the reach of every motorist. They . were busy all day yesterday demonstrating to interested patrons, and this morning will wive h. demonstration of its use by installing - a local resident's car with the preparation outside th'o hall at 10 am. on the road in front of the show buildin"- | THE PRIZE LIST.
