WAIKATO WINTER SHOW

• ■ A GENEROUS DONrtTEON. The secretary of llic Waikato ! Winter Show Association lias received a communication from the Auckland | Farmers’ Freezing Company staling ■ that the directors have voted £SO to- | wards tile prizes in connection with I 11 if hig holler and cheese grading com- | petitions which are being established by Hu? Association to stimulate Hie dairy factory personnel of the lioinin- ! ion (o furlhfr effort. In this desirable direction it has been decided | by the Association to place the judgj in.'-r compclions held at the Show each year for factory mangers and butter and cheese makers on a more ccmIprehcnsivc and more educative basis, ilt is an acknowledged axiom that no improvement can be effected, especially ; in the direction of flavours, u unless every opportunity is taken of comparing varying fluidities of produce. This I opportunity the new competition will provide in an exceptional degree. A idass is inserted for (ho Championship of Xcw Zealand for butter eroding, another for Ihc Championship of ; New Zealand for cheese grading, open [only lo faelory managers. Then there will lie, compelilii>iis for factory employees liolli in butler and cheese 'grading. II is proposed by Ihc Association bi offer an additional £'2s In (lie money donated by the Freezing Company, and d is expected Ihat two gold medals will be donated in the championship classes in addition lo the prize money, so that llm rewards have been planned on a very liberal scale in order lo encourage as many factory managers and employees as possible to participate. The competitions are not intended as mere prize-winning events, but as a great educational movement established for llif lienelil of the butler and cheese makers of Ibc Dominion. In addition to the slmly and experience the competitors will gain in preparing themselves for these contests. participation in which will give more confidence in .jmbunenl limy will cive opportunities of comparing ideas with those of oilier nu n from different pads of the Dominion, in the contests each comoeliior will also have an opportunity I" comnare Ids scores will! those of I lie official .jlldces, and jo discuss the criticisms of Ihc various samples. i
