An appeal to all Fanners’ Union members to support the forthcoming celebrations of the Winter Show Company at Hawera was made by the chairman of the provincial executive yesterday. He stated that a public meeting was shortly to be called an I he would like to see the farming community strongly represented, for upon them depended, to a large extent, the success of the show. That steps should be taken to have weather forecasts distributed to farmers some days ahead was a suggestion made by a member of the South Taranaki provincial executive of the Farmers’ Union at its meeting yesterday. “Buy d wireless plant,” ■ suggested 1 another member, “and you will receive very aeeurate forecasts.” ■ 11

ir’ Unless further applications are immediately received the proposed farmers’ tour to the Bay of Plenty district will be abandoned. At yesterday’s meeting of the South Taranaki provincial executive of the Farmers’ Union the secretary (Mr. E. K. Cameron) stated that he had received only 29 applications. The tour was to have commenced from Ilawera on May 29. A suggestion that the North and South Taranaki provincial executives of the Farmers’ Union should hold a joint conference for the purpose of forwarding remits t< the Dominion conference was made at yesterday’s meeting of the South Taranaki provincial executive. It was str ted that the executives of the Wanganui, Manawatu and Masterton districts had adopted the practice, which it was contended, carried a greater influence whe.i he remits were being dis-, cussed. When a niember stated that each remit was considered on its merits the suggestion was allowed to lapse. At the annual meeting of the Awa-tuna-Te Kiri-Riverlea Farmers’ Union, Mr, H. Davison was elected president and Mr. T, McCarrison secretary. It was resolved to change the name to Awatuna branch, as being more suitable, especially for engraving cups and n- lais at. show'times,

The prizes at the euchre party in aid of the Alanaia public school on Atonday were won by Mrs. H. \ halen 1, Airs. T. Hughes 2, Mr. Evans 1, Air. L. Guise 2. The hidden prize was won by Mrs. McKay, Air. Fitzgibbon being runner-up.

The Te Kiri -Scottish Association’s sports on Wednesday were brought to a conclusion with a successful dance in the evening. There was a good attendance and the dance proved very enjoyable. Alessrs, N. Alackinnon and G. W. Bell wore masters of ceremonies and Parker’s orchestra supplied the music. Miss N. Hotter contributed a supper extra- and the Auroa Pipe Band rendered selections. A handkerchief sache put up for competition for the pipe- band was won by Air. A. W. King, Auroa. The sheep-guessing held at the sports was won by Air. McDonald, Eltham. That the Taranaki Rugby Union be asked to arrange that the winners of the southern division lower grade Rugby, competitions play teams of similar age in the northern, division was the text of a motion moved by. Mr. A. Gray and carried unanimously at a meeting of junior Rugby representatives at Hawera on Wednesday night. The rainfall registered at.Hawera during April was 3.74 inch, rain falling on II days and the greatest, fall in 24 hours being 1.62 inch, registered on April 20. Last year April was a wetter month, with 6.14 inch and 12 wet days, the greatest fall being 2.18 inch on April 14. . ' GOLF BOGEY HANDICAP. HAWERA AIEN’-S CLUB DRAW.
