ASHBURTON SHOW

SOUTH CANTERBURY SUCCESSES

Quality of a very high order was apparent in all departments of the Ashburton Agricultural and Pastoral Association's fifty-eighth annual exhibition of stock, farm and dairy produce, home arts and crafts and farm implements held on the Ashburton Showgrounds yesterday, and the great interest displayed by all sections of the community demonstrated fully their recognition of the vital part the agriculutrists and pastoralists play in the life of Ashburton County. Entries, totalling 3037. set a new high level which must be a matter for considerable satisfaction on the part of the Association and its officers, who have spent many hours in preparatory work. A mild winter and an excellent spring have left the live stock generally in the best of condition and exhibitors faced keen competition in j most sections. j Following are the South Canterbury prize winners:— Sheep.
