SPRING SHOW OPENS

REPRESENTATIVE ENTRIES Many Interesting Exhibits Attract Attention Despite nr,promising weather conditions in the morning, yesterday afternoon came fine and clear, and the 53rd annual show of the Wanganui Agricultural Association was ushered in with a great deal more success than the officials had dared to hope for in the earlier part of the day.

A town of canvas has grown up on the show grounds, and from morn li night is heard the lowing of kine, the rhythmic melodies of the round abouts tfce hoarse cries of the showmen, the racing engines of motor exhibits, and the shouts of excited urchins capturing the thrills provided by the ehair-o-plane. The first day of the spring show is the farmers ’ day, and from early it the day motor cars yesterday eommenc' ad to stream into Wanganui from ths outlying districts, bringing country folk to the showgrounds, where they inspected the stock with a critical eye priced the car they would boy when ths wool cheque came to hand, and drovt none too hard bargains with trie itinerant vendors of all manner oi luxuries which one never sees irom one show day till rhe next. To these people, as to the city residents. it was a vast relief when the drizzling and dull eont&iions of the morning gave place to a fine sunny afternoon, and although there was not a vast crowd on the grounds yesterday. People’s Day will bring thronging crowds to taste the fun of the fair. Good Stock Exhibits

The entries in the stock classes, j though not large in all eases, and in I some classes quite small, compare fav -1 curably with those of previous years, | and the judges gave high praise to many individual entries. Jerseys have pride of place in the cattle sections and the splendid animals exhilAed in these classes give evidence of careful fanning and scientific breeding. The principal entries in the sheep pens are Remnev Marsh and Southdown, although' Byelands. Corriedales, Border Leieesters. and Lincolns are well represented. The entries in the pig classes are small but the judge was very pleased with the exceptional quality of the stock exhibited, and' said, that the winning animals were of out standing quality. Strong entries are recorded in the horses, and. as is usual, the judging ol manv of these classes has been left until to-day so that the general public mav have an opportunity of seeing the'ir pares in the ring. This .afternoon there will be the leaping competitions and lovers of horses may look forward to thrills when the hunters clear the •ticks. Busy Housewives The home industries section has tempted many a housewife to exhibit the fruits of her labours beside a hot oven and manv of the displays are pro vocative in the extreme to the mere men who eye them through the nettin In the schools and applied art se ‘-tions there are a host of entries and most ot these were judged before the opening ° f The Wanganui Kennel Club s show is held in conjunction with the al and pastoral function, and from it. P there rises the wad of many and lonely canine. Hungry dogs, tearful dogs, bored deg®cited dogs sit side by side in their p . some quarrelling with their neig ' • others too abject in their think of anything else, but for most part eyeing one “""‘h" glances of jealousy and °bv bull-dog yesterday regarded pass, r by with a look Which «P r^ d * b p c tion he would undoubtedly hat . ask had he been able to talk. What k jg it all about, anywayl The Sid« Shows Sideshow Alley, where the scenes of tents filled with mystery and ‘hr'llspractice of their f .„’ ’ thpm from their earw to Vt must attract the popu laee later in the day- , . tn Then, when the crowds beg round the tents and eager and JTmic fat*?* peer here and there, their toPeS w.ll bellow forth their cajoleries, their Challenges and their taunts: toe -greatest wonders ’ of the world ml be on exhibition on the “reside, and manv a farmer and many a citizen will willingly be mulcated of a shilling to see what he saw last year. As well as the regular m. eshows there are strange an.l wonderful games of skiU, Which tempt the holidaymaker to attempt to see if he cannot re urn home at least as opulent as when he left. There are sights for the curious thrills for the daring, and chocolates for the luck and the straight of eye There are numbers of tents with trade exhibits, the motor firms anu' tlffi manufacturers of farm implements being well to the fore. Here the sun glints on polished metal and brilliant enamel, and all toe talents of salesmanship are brought into play. The judging wa» carried out expeditiously vesterday and the secretary (Mr F. G. Seddon) and his assistants are to be complimented on the manner in which the arrangements were handled.

SHEEP The sheep section is one of the outstanding features of the show; not only are the exhibits numerically stronger than last year, but the quality of the animals is better than that seen this season at other shows on the coast. The exhibits in the Ryeland classes in particular, won the admiration of visitors, and while there was only one exhibitor, the animals would have done well al any show in the Dominion. The judge of the Ryelands was Mr R. Bremer, of Waverley, who was also entrusted with the Corriedales, Lincolns, and Border Leieesters. He was well pleased with the representation given all these breeds.

Mr N. J. Short, judge of the Romney Marsh breed, commented on the strong competition and thought that the sheep were rather an improvement on those he had seen at other shows recently. The hoggets he considered very hue, bring well grown and showing heavy clippings. The champion ram was an outstanding animal, his most outstanding feature being his head. He thought that if other breeders were to aim at the same style, it would mean an improvement in their flocks. Competition was also very keen in the Southdown classes, the judge, Mr W. B. Grant, being well pleased with the class of shorn shown. The champion ewe with lamb (over 18 months and under 30 months) is outstandingly good, being a distinct credit to the exhibitors. Messrs H. Burrell and Son, of Feilding. She is typical of the breed, and is uniform in body and woul. The prize list is as follows — LINCOLN'S. Ram. over 30 months. —G. V.

EXCELLENT JE3SEY SECTION To refer to the cattle section is to draw attention to the Jersey entries, for this breed predominated, and made a display which outclassed anything seen previously in Wanganui. There was good competition in the Ayrshire section, considering the strength of the were M-ry weak, breeders having given breed in this district, but Friesians the show practically no support. Milking Shorthorns were good right through, heifers and yearling bulls being outstanding. “If the Wanganui district is going to keep on breeding Jersey cattle liko this,” said the judge (Mr P. J. Peterson) other shows will have to watch out.” Mr Peterson remarked on the fine type of dairy quality of the animals and said that he had had diiHculty in separating the contestants, competition being very keen. The aged cows were a fine class, and the yearling heifers and calves were outstanding. Bulls, too, were of a fine type, there being little between the animals entered.

The greatest curse the dairyman has to contend with at the present time is of calving and sterility in cows. This trouble is largely caused by a cUii'd vaginitis which is chari:v a small inflamed and pustular eruptions on the mucus membrane oi the organ. Through the agency of “Shepherd’s Horsebreakers,’’ of Auckland, “Bovisau” has been imported and this is guaranteed by the importers to cure every case, otherwise they refund the cost of the preparation. See the guarantee on every tin. ABOUT OLD ESTABLISHED CORNS '‘l’ve had that corn for twenty years,” you hear a sufferer say, often with a touch of pride in his voice. He likes to believe there’s nothing able to cure his corns. “I’ve been to chiropodists,” he’ll say. ‘l’ve cut it, shaved it, used aJI sorts of cures—but it won’t go.” Correct up to a point -O point spelt Erogandra. There’s no c<l m on human foot Progandra can’t remove—quickly, painlessly. Hard or sol’t, old or new, Progandra does it. 1/J. 335

THE DOG SHOW

SOME FINE ANIMALS ARISTKOCRATS OF THE CAirpTE WOKLD. There were large entries in the Wanganui Kennel Club’s annual show, and the dogs exhibited were, in many cases, of very good -standard and breeding. Fox terriers and spaniels were the predominating breeds, although most sections of the dog family were represented, even an Alsatian hound, but bulldogs were noticeable by their absence, there being only one entry. The sheep dogs were exceptionally good. The judges’ task was not an easy one, as there was little to choose between many of the animals, but they carried out their task in a manner which won approval, and their awards were sound.
