HAWERA SPRING SHOW

47th EGMONT EXHIBITION OPENS FINE DISPLAYS OF? QUALITY STOCK RECORD ENTRIES FOR THE FIXTURE ’ With’ record entries exceeding 2000, and with practically ao absent exhibitors, the Egmont A. and P. Association’s 47th spring show, which opened at Hawera yesterday, was a magnificent exhibition. The dairy classes were exceptionally good both in quality and.in numbers. Jerseys predominated.

IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY | CATERING FOR THE PUBLIC. GOOD ATTENDANCE FIRST DAY. A great improvement on former yeais ■Was shown in the sheep section. The horse classes were satisfactory, the high standard of Clydesdales being notable. Though the entries were rather small some outstanding quality pigs were shown, and the Royal Show champion was defeated. The homo industries section, in which entries constituted a record, was a particularly fine display. The public was well catered for by the ring competitions and the side-show proprietors. The trade displays were a special feature this year,, being well above the average of previous shows. The judging was commenced yesterday ■morning and was completed on time. The attendance of the public was very good in view' of the adverse weather. The first day of the 1929 show was fine whereas yesterday there were blustering winds and occasional showers of rain. During the day £26 Is was taken at ’ the gate as against £24 18s on the first day last year. A committee of ladies did excellent work with the catering arrangements. In thus the committee had the assistance of the girls of the Hawera Technical High School. The profits from the provision of refreshments are retained by the A. and P. Association. Among those present yesterday were Messrs A. L. Thompson and R. Wright, inspector, both of the Department of Agriculture. Dr. C. J. Reakes, Director of the Department of Agriculture, telegraphed his regrets at being unable to be present owing to an important dairy conference in Wellington. JUDGES GENERALLY PLEASED BIG DISPLAY OF FINE JERSEYS. IMPORTED BLOOD EVIDENT. In judging the Jerseys it was a question of getting down to very fine points to decide the issue in many, of t.ie ■classes. Taranaki’s specialty in dairy stock again attracted a great number of entries and the display of . Jerseys as they were judged in the ring provided spectators with keen interest ■ throughout the-day. In one class, the yearling heifers, there were no fewer than 28 entries. . The strains of imported sires weie very evident in the high quality of exhibits and there seemed little doubt that these importations had greatly enriched the herds of the province. The judge, Mr. F. J. B. Ryburn, remarked that the Jersey’s were as fine as would be seen anywhere and both the champion bull and the champion cow were splendid specimens.. The winners were all excellent animals and many would shine conspicuously in any show ring.' _ The bull championship was awarded to Mr. J. S. Jones’ Sybil’s. Volunteer, picked from a fine lot of sires. , The champion cow vas Ivondale’s J3olden Rainbow, owned by Mr. Truby K ', Stratford. Mr. F. Hoskin, Matapu, secured the reserve with Netley Doris. Mr. C. W. Wood, Hawera, won t’ e three-year bull class, Mr. E. J. Kirkwood, Stratford, obtaining second. In two-year-old bulls the exhibits of Mr. Truby King and Mr. S. A. Tippett obtained first and second honours respectively. Mr. R. L. Horn and A. C. [Lovelock exhibited the first and second yearling bulls. ■ ? CLYDESDALES VERY GOOD. OUTSTANDING BEASTS SHOWN The entries in the Clydesdale classes, Commented Mr. A. L. Bremer, Pukengahu, were not numerous, but the winnin<r animals were all outstandingly good. The champion three-year-old filly was a particularly pretty little animal. The entries in the yearling filly class were of a high standard. There were several outstanding saddle horses, said Mr. T. E. Whelch, Wan*tead, Hawke’s Bay, after the judging. However, the general standard was not quite up to that prevailing in Hawkes Ray and Wairarapa. FRIESIANS OF HIGHEST QUALITY. JUDGE EXPRESSES DELIGHT. The judge, of the Friesians, Mr. O. Cadwallader, was delighted with the cattle shown. They were, he considered, well brought out and he failed to understand why this breed was not more keenly taken up in Taranaki seeing that the animals showed such excellent reeults from a dairy point of view. The winner of the aged cow class, owned by Mr. H. E. Johnson, showed great dairy character and in the opinion of the judge should put up a , good re ' cord if subjected to a test, lhere was plenty of Friesian character about the beast The second prize cow in this class, owned by Mr. T. H-Richards, also showed great dairy ability, only age being against the animal for show rin„ PU S S w’inning three-year-old, exhibited ov Mr E. J. Betts, was another the judge considered had every prospect of becoming a great producer. Both two-rear-olds, he prophesied, would go much further in winning show Quo.

owned by Mr. H. E. Johnson was allotted the reserve championship. The yearling heifers, eight entries, were fine and it was a matter of regret, said Mr. Cadwallader, that they were not competitors at the Royal . Show, where they would have held their own with the best. The yearling bulls were a striking class, the exhibit of Mr, C. J. Schumacher being a particularly good bull, with a good head and exhibiting great dairy quality. The beast should have a prize-winning future before it. Great dairy bone/was the outstanding feature of Mr. H. E. Johnson's aged bull winner. CHOICE AYRSHIRES EXHIBITED. SMALL NUMBER DISAPPOINTING. Although the entries were not numerically large, the exhibits in the Ayrshire classes were considered by the judge, Mr. P. Bremer, to be 1 a very choice lot and worthy of the best competition. The two entries of Mr. F. Mills in aged cows were particularly good specimens of their breed while the two-year heifers were a very good, even class. The judge was somewhat disappointed that there were not greater numbers in the Ayrshires, particularly in the threeyear heifer class, where there was only one entry. This, however, was a particularly good type of beast. Another outstanding heifer was the winner of the yearlings, also the property of Mr. F. Mills. The winning two-year-old bull was a very stylish and attractive beast, and any of them, in fact, were worthy of being shown at any show in the country. LACK OF COMPETITION. EXHIBITION OF SHORTHORNS. Entries in the Shorthorns lacked competition, as was the case last year, only three competitors exhibiting. Entries were expected from a breeder at Levin but did not come forward. The general standard of Shorthorn stock shown was average. The judge, Mr. E. A. Washer, regarded the champion cow, a two-year-old heifer exhibited by Mr. W. P. Bootten, as the making of a fine dairy animal, while the champion bull exhibited by Mrs. E. Hayward was a first-class beast. That the Shorthorn, once so popular as a dairy animal, had receded so far in popularity was considered by the judge to be very regrettable. He hoped, however, that "the future might bring back the Shorthorn to more general favour among dairymen. There were no classes for fat cattle this year. For some time only one exhibitor had come forward with entries and owing to non-competition it was decided to abandon the classes. GOOD TAMWORTH PIGS. THE TYPES FOR EXPORT. Though rather disappointed with the nunlber of exhibits in the pig section, the judge, Mr. W, P. Bickers, Feilding, considered the quality well up to standard, more especially in the Tam worth classes. He did not think the type of the Tamworths shown could be better, either for purebred purposes or for crossing with Berkshires. In the Berkshires there was a noticeable strain of the Canadian type, which, crossed with the English type, produced, to his mind, a better carcase. For show purposes the Canadian strain was handicapped by>the head but after all for practical purposes it was the carcase that was wanted and this type was most suitable either for baconers or porkers. What constituted a good porker constituted a good baconer. The. pig that had heavy joints and big limbs was not wanted by the public. Mr. Biekers would have liked more competition in the porker and baconer classes. He suggested that it would be preferable to have only single pigs, thus securing more entries. It would also assist the judge as with pairs one very good pig might be disqualified by an inferior mate. That had been very evident during the day’s judging. The baconers were just a little heavy for the market requirements. The day of the heavy, fat pig had gone and it would be only detrimental to the trade to continue to produce it.

IMPROVEMENT OF SHEEP. >. SUCCESS OF FARMERS’ EFFORTS. The improved class of sheep was regarded with entire satisfaction by sheep men who have been endeavouring for several years to maintain a good class of sheep against the rising tide of dairy stock development. . • In Lincolns there were several choice specimens, but except in one class competition was not keen. The Southdowns showed much greater _ competition throughout and were considered by the jud"e, Mr. J. Knight, to be a particularly good lot. He was rather disappointed in the standard of Romneys but a few of the entries were good of their type The Border Leicesters, although small in numbers and all shown by one exhibitor, were a very good line revealing themselves as a useful type or sheep for the district. In the fat sheep classes competition waa much better. “The fat lambs are the best exhibit I have seen,” declared the judge, Mr. F. Besley, “and even the worst are worthy of a prize. Several of the pens, however, are too heavy xoi tke requirements of the London market.

In the mature classes the numbers are smaller but the quality is very good. I n the fat lamb championship for a pen of three for the London market there were no fewer than 21 entries, the honours going to Mr. E. Parsons, Waitotara. . HOME INDUSTRIES EXCELL. COOKING JUDGES DELIGHTED. Delight with the very fine quality of .the exhibits in the cooking classes was expressed by both judges, Miss I. Cheyne (Waverley) and Miss Hopkmson (Waverley). Miss Cheyne, who has had wide judging experience both in the Wanganui and Taranaki districts, said she haa never before seen such consistently beautiful exhibits as she yesterday had the pleasure of judging. Miss Hopkinson also a well known judge, was specially pleased with sponge sandwiches exhibited in the childrens classes. The greatest difficulty was experienced in separating the exhibitors. All the classes in this section were most creditable. Mrs. C. Williams, judge of the brass and pewter work, was well pleased with the nature of the exhibits. The fancy work and sewing classes judged by Miss E. C«plen (Hawera) were exceptionally well patronised and wonderful work was found in most of the classes. In the children’s section of this class the same judge found the work very good for the age of the exhibitors. the show prize list THE CHAMPIONS. PEDIGREE CATTLE. Friesians. —Bull: Champion, H. .E.
