HAWERA SHOW

FINE DAIRY DISPLAY LOCAL COMPETITORS A fine display of dairy produce is a feature of tue Hawera Winter Show, and the set-out of the entries in this respect is considered quite the best yet seen iu the show. The task of making awards imposed a strenuous and important duty upon the judge and ot- ' xieers concerned. Commenting on the prize exhibits in the cheese classes the judge said that these were of exceptionally good quality, reflecting credit on the factory suppliers, ana managers concerned, the flavour being outstanding and, the body and texture very fine. Taking the classes generally, they compared favourably with exhibits at other Dominion dairy show.s. “A very large majority, of the entries were outstanding; in fact it would be a most difficult matter to find a choicer collection in this or other parts of the dairy world,” said the judge of the butter section. Entries were particularly well finished. Notwithstanding that preservative was not used, the quality of the butter in the class taken from the grading stores demonstrated the excellent keeping quality of the entries. This was a tribute to the makers. In the butter awards the maximum points were. Flavour 50, body 25, salting, colour and finish 25; total 100.
