ANNUAL SHOW

MACKENZIE A. AND P. ASSOCIATION

LARGE ENTRIES AND RECORD CROWD When the pioneers of Canterbury settled the Mackenzie Country they opened up a rich district which has become noted throughout the Dominion for the quality of its sheep and the high standard of its agricultural products. The Mackenzie Agricultural and Pastoral Association has during the 37 years of its existence played an important part in maintaining a good standard in the agricultural and pastoral activities of the district, and evidence of this was provided in the annual show, which was held at the Showgrounds yesterday, when the display was one of the linest on record.

The weather was dull in the morning and although the sun did not shine conditions were not unpleasant. On the main road from Timaru and on the highways contiguous to Fairlie there was a constant stream of traffic in the morning, while on the special train which left Timaru there were 600 Show visitors by the time it reached Fairlie—twice the number of last year. The showgrounds were thronged from almost as soon as judging commenced, and the many departments of the exhibition were viewed with the keenest interest. A special feature was the large number of picnic parties who look upon Fairlie and the Show as ideal places to spend a pleasant Easter Monday. The gate receipts were about £285, an increase of £6O on last year. It is considered that the attendance was a record. Included in the large gathering was the Hon. John Bitchener, Minister of Public Works, and Member for the district, and Miss Bitchener, and representatives of other A. and P. Associations. High Standard Maintained The standard of the exhibits was again very high, a favourable season having brought out stock at their best. The support of the people of Mackenzie was again most pronounced, the entries totalling 2158 as against 2384 last year, and 2073 in 1933. Although there was a slight drop on last year, 1934 provided a record. The chief departments of the show, however, were again well supported, and it was pleasing to record increases in the horse and pony sections. The table of entries is as follows:

1935 1934 1933 Sheep 288 376 343 Cattle 104 162 95 Draught Horses .. 75 65 115 Light Horses and Hunters .... 141 131 127 Ponies 134 96 115 Dogs 70 81 45 Dinner Table Competition .... 11 8 10 Dog Trial .... 17 15 17 Ewe Flock Competition .... 4 7 8 Pigs 6 12 12 Fruit 129 92 128 Vegetables 278 423 202 Miscellp—ous .... 271 302 276 Needlework .. .. 252 197 194 Grain 73 114 97 Field Roots .... 170 158 180 Flowers 80 82 53 Wool 55 63 56 2158 2384 2073

The Mackenzie Show is noted for the efficiency with which it is conducted, and too much cannot be said for the enthusiasm of the officials who throughout the years have given their wholehearted support to the Society. Yesterday’s display was voted as one of the most rrccessful on record, and the arrangements worked without a hitch, no cause for complaint being found by the many entrants or the public. The president (Mr Donald Fraser) and the secretary (Mr J. A. Fraser) headed the committee and to them much of the suceess of the day was due. The officials were:—Patrons: Mr T. D. Burnett, M.P., Hon. J. Bitchener, M.P., Mr Geo. Murray and Mr C. J. Talbot; president: Mr Donald Fraser; vice-presidents: Messrs H. A. Munro and J. Mcßeth; treasurer: Mr T. F. Bussell; hon. vet. surgeon: Mr C. H. Williamson; auditor: Mr G. Lyons; committee: Messrs W. R. McConnell, A. Grant, H. Thomas, J. Pollock, A. Mackenzie, L. Mackenzie, T. B. Crampton, W. H. Collins, W. L. Bourn, J. Caskey, W. H. Cook, K. Anderson, W. Close, W. G. Black, A. Freme, G. Pinkerton, S. K. Gillingham, W. Scott, J. McKercher, L. Siegert, T. Hogg, T. MacDonald, J. Sims, J. Willetts, H. G. Waters and P. Neilson; secretary: Mr J. A. Fraser; announcing stewards: Messrs S. Jones and F. Geaney; car parking: Messrs J. Bray and E. Miles; gate steward: Mr T. F. Bussell.

Officials of the Society were present at the Bailway Station to meet the train on which the Timaru Highland Pipe Band, under Drum-Major W. Andrew, arrived. The Timaru combination was met by the Mackenzie Highland Pipe Band under Drum-Major B. Slow, and played to the grounds where both bands provided selections during the afternoon. The large gathering was delighted with the drum-majors’ displays which proved so successful at the recent Dominion Highland Pipe Band championship at Timaru. The Mackenzie Band performed first, followed by the Timaru Band, which was successful in winning the championship honours at the contest. Both bands were given an ovation. The gathering was given a great thrill by Mr B. Skinner, late of the Byrd Expedition, who made a perfect parachute descent from an aeroplane, to alight near the show ring. Good Quality Sheep The Mackenzie district has throughout the years held a high place in the production of good sheep, and yesterday the Society was again well to the fore in this department of the show. The season generally has been favourable, and all classes of sheep seemed to have come forward in better condition than last year. There was an appreciable drop in entries, but competent judges considered that the animals were of a quality that could give a good account of themselves in any show ring. Some very fine Merinos were to be seen, Mr F. H. Smith, Albury, showing with considerable success. He provided the champion fine and strong combing rams and the strong combing ewe, Mr G. Hunter Weston taking championship honours Li the fine combing ewe section. Mr C. H. S. Johnson, of St. Andrews, took both championships for Corriedales, and although he was the only exhibitor, the quality of his stock is well known. As is usual the Romneys were of good quality, Messrs R. Oakley and G. Giddings sharing the honours.

Mr W. J. Kelland. of Northdown, took the chief awards in the English Leicester classes with splendid samples of the breed.

There were only two Southdown entries. Mr J. Stumbles, of Cannington, securing red tickets for both.

The fat lambs bore evidence of the good season, Messrs A. Grant, R. A. Grant and E. Goowin showing some good quality district lambs. The fat sheep again gave Mr Andrew Grant success, red tickets also being taken by Messrs Sangster and Pollock and Mr W. Black. The flock sheep were a fine collection, Messrs Andrew Grant, R. A. Grant and Sangster and Pollock, Miss L. B. l.\ Wills and “FontineU" Station showing to advantage. The judges generally were very pleased with the quality, but regret was expressed that in some sections there was not more competition. Array of Cattle There was a small decrease in the entries of cattle, but this important section of the show was an unqualified success, the judges being unanimous in their opinion as to the excellence of the exhibits. The Jerseys were paraded in splendid condition, and the judge, Mr E. R. Goulter, of Fairlie, was well pleased with all the stock. In his opinion they had improved out of sight. He recalled the outstanding Jerseys he had seen at the Buller and Takaka Shows 15 years ago, and said that the standard at Fairlie was even better. Although the numbers were not large the animals exhibited provided definite evidence of their butter-fat producing qualities, in spite of the high altitude difficulties that local.. exhibitors had to contend with. The manner in which breeders paid attention to constitution in the high country was very commendable. He had been told when he came into the Mackenzie about seven years ago that the climate was too hard for Jerseys, and he would be advised to go in for Milking Shorthorns. He had, hardiness of the Jersey and he had however, teen impressed with the found that it more than held its own with the other breeds. Mr R. Maddren, of Winchester, had shown the championship bull and cow. The bull was the father of the bull which he gave the championship ribbon in Timaru two years ag.o It was a nine-year-old animal but was of a particularly fine type. The cow showed great constitution and looked as though she would hold her condition under any circumstances. Perhaps she lacked a little in refinement, but as a milk and butterfat producer she was just about excellent. Mr Goulter said that the champions came from the lower country, but there was very little between high and low country Jerseys and his task throughout had been most difficult.

“One of the hardest jobs he had had,” was how Mr S. Kingston, of Fairview, judge of the Friesians, Ayrshires and dairy cattle, described his work. The Jerseys, he said, were very good, while the Friesians were of a fine type. Mr A. S. Elworthy, the wellknown Holme Station breeder, meeting with his usual success. He would have liked to have seen a greater entry of Friesians. The champion cow, Mr Elworthy’s Sylvia Van Thumper, was a splendid example of the breed, and it would be difficult to find anything better. There were only two entries in the Ayrshire classes, and this the judge considered was very regrettable. Mr W. H. Collins, of Winscombe, displayed for exhibition only, a dry cow which had won the championship on two previous occasions. This fine specimen of the breed had a perfect escutcheon. Two of her progeny received the red tickets without any doubt in the mind of the judge. There was not a large entry of fat cattle, but quality was the keynote of the section. The Milking Shorthorns provided a good class, the champion cow being Mr F. G. Saville’s Opihi Charming. Light Horses The classes for light horses and hunters attracted an entry of 141, an increase of 10 over last year. The ring was a centre of attraction and the jumping events provided a great deal of interest. A good lot was assembled in the light horse section, Mr T. H. Ivey’s Dan, who has carried off many championships, adding another ribbon to his collection when he was selected as the best harness horse on the ground. Miss B. Harper’s Captain Murphy again competed with distinction, and in addition to taking red tickets was awarded the championship as the best hack on the ground. The judge (Mr A. L. Loe, of Ward) said that the light horses and hunters had exceeded his expectations. He considered that the standard was equal to anything he had met in his experience. The champions were outstanding, and the district was fortunate to possess them. There was an increase of 38 in the pony entries, and the classes were productive of fine competition. The judge (Mr Alex. Thomson, of Ward), considered that the ponies were a very sound lot, free from outstanding faults. The champion in both saddle and harness was Mr J. S. Lilley's Firelight. The judge remarked that in the saddle class there was very little between the champion and Miss Doreen Dore’s reserve champion Wendy. The riding was very good, particularly in the girls’ section. The Draughts The heavy horse which is always one of the main attractions of the show, was again much in evidence yesterday, when the entry (75) showed an increase of 10 over the previous year. As was expected, Mr Andrew Grant, of Allandale, was the chief exhibitor, and his horses came in for general praise. He won every class in which

he entered and showed the champion mare in Craigie Ella, and the champion gelding in Dandy. Commenting on the section, the judge (Mr J. Logan, of Gore) said he had been greatly impressed with the quality. The champion mare was undoubtedly outstanding, while the gelding was as good as anything in the country. Mr Logan predicted a bright future for the yearling colt Fyvie Baronet. Dogs Although there was a slight drop in entries of dogs the quality was well maintained. As is usual the Mackenzie collie was well represented in the sheep dog classes, and some fine specimens of the breed were shown. The entries of sporting dogs were not large, but the judge, Mr A. E. Pennefather, was well pleased with some of the dogs shown. He said that the Society would be very wise if the dogs were classified so as to eliminate unfair competition between breeds. This would make it much easier for the competitor and much happier for the judge. Field Roots “An Eye-opener” “The field roots exhibition this year was rather an eye-opener when the climatic conditions that have prevailed during the season are taken into consideration,” said the judge, Mr R. McGillivray, Fields Superintendent for the Department of Agriculture. The entries were large in almost all cases, and in the main swede section some wonderful quality was apparent, but in some of the entries there was a development of brown heart. The cause of this trouble was not known, but it could possibly be attributed to the lack of some necessary plant food in the soil. Brown heart did not develop into rot, but the condition set up a hardness in the bulb which made it unpalatable to animals. In the turnip section there were many exhibits that showed lack of quality, but this condition was probably due to the unsatifactory weather experienced during the growing season. Some of the exhibits, however, were of outstanding quality. In the mangold classes the quality on the whole was very good, and it appeared that the farmers of Fairlie should take mangold growing much more seriously than they did at present, as it was evident that on the good land of the district heavy crops could be grown. Mangolds were heavy yielders. They provided good stock food and when stored in pits or a building kept for a very long time and provided splendid winter and late spring feed. A very fine exhibition of field carrots was to be seen, and it was apparent that the district could produce very heavy crops of this fodder. The quality of some of the exhibits was not altogether first class, but there were sufficient roots of the standard required to collect the awards. “On the whole I must express great pleasure at witnessing such a fine exhibition of field roots,” said Mr McGillivray. The judge of the grain (Mr W. Baird, of Timaru), commented favourably on the quality of the exhibits, and said that although the entries were down slightly on last year, the standard was generally good. School Exhibits

The school exhibits occupied 40ft of space and consisted of flowers, a good range of vegetables and Class wall records of the schools’ main studies. The display provided material evidence of the value of agriculture in the curricula. Skipton School excelled in cabbages, while Sherwood School’s exhibit was characterised by fine sweet peas. Ashwick School showed a large plan of their school garden with a key to the plants and experiments and “facts discovered or proved in 1935.” Burke's Pass School excelled in Brussels Sprouts. Albury School displayed a large result card of their potato trials together with little heaps of potatoes in number and scale representing the results from the different treatments. Mona Vale School was prominent for its garlic, esehallots and parsnips. Kimbell School displayed a very artistic wall record of its grass studies which, with the support of sods from the two main plots, illustrated the merit of local harvested seed of Western Wolths in comparison with imported seed. Fairlie School showed some good mangolds and potatoes, while the Fairlie High School Department had two special exhibits of forestry and ensilage. The forestry exhibit consisted of two dozen seedlings of forest trees. Ranged with these were branches and cones and pieces of dressed wood. Messrs Millichamp Brothers assisted with the seedlings. The ensilage exhibit was of models of forms of pit and stack quality. The ensilage was supplied by Mr J. Steven, of Rosewill. Fruit and Vegetables In the opinion of ths judge, Mr G. E. Knowles, of Timaru, the fruit and vegetable classes were very fine. In the fruit section the competition was not so keen as he would have liked to have seen, but quality in no way suffered. “The finest green vegetables we have seen this year,” was how Mr Knowles described this section. It appeared that the ravages of the White Butterfly had not been felt to the same extent as was the case in Timaru. With the entries about the same as last year the flower show section of the show was again successful. The quality of the blooms was very good, while it was pleasing to note the interest being taken by the children. The miscellaneous section was again full of interest and large crowds thronged the bay throughout the day. A fine array of cooking was in evidence, while the needlework was of outstanding quality. The children were again keen competitors and some of their work reached an exceptionally high standard. Much interest was taken in the dinner table competition for prizes contributed by Mr T. D. Burnett M.P. There were some splendid displays and there was a very narrow margin of points between the placed competitors. The winners, Allandale Women’s Institute, were only half a point ahead of Gleniti (905), Timaru Women’s Division and Cave Women’s Institute being third with 895 points each. The other competitors were also highly marked. THE PRIZE LIST The following is the prize list:— BREEDING SHEEP. (Judges: Fine wool stud, Mr S. T.
