Keiller, Esq., through the Manawatu-Oroua branch r of the N.Z. Pig-breeders’ Association, donates a sterling diver cigarette case j valued at. £l2 12s. The trophy is to be won three times and to qualify t each competitor must compete at any three of the following shows: Mana- ? watu, Carterton, Wanganui, Levin, Feilding, Dannevirke, Marton. The j rules and conditions are similar to the other two competitions mentioned j above. j The inclusion of these competitions ] in the Wanganui schedule are a de- ? cided fillip to the pig section of the ( local show and will no doubt increase j the entries in this important section. It will be remembered that th< execu- ] tive committee of the A. and P. As- | sociation last year incurred heavy ex- . pense in equipment for the pig sec- j tion, and 150 covered pens have been < provided. The N.Z. Pig-breeders’ As- j sociation have evidently appreciated ( the efforts of the local A. and P. As- ’ sociation and the inclusion of the foregoing competitions has justified the j outlay of a considerable sum of money j for the pig section. Breeders in the ( district served by the Wanganui A. ’ and p . Association will now have an < opportunity- of exhibition at Wanga- j nui, where previously they have had | to take their exhibits further afield. >
