TARANAKI COUNTY COUNCIL.

MONTHLY MEETING.

Tin 1, ordinary monthly meeting of theTaranaki County Council was held yes-terday. Present: Messrs. J. Brown, J. R.Hill, C. Andrews, It. Stevens, M. Hop-■son, and D. MeAllura.

FOREMAN'S REPORT.Crusher-Foreman T'rry reported that

the crusher had worked on ten days dur-ing the month, crushing 082 yards, atvarioiiH depots.

.Foreman Jones (Moa South) reportedthat the Mountain and Tariki roads werein fair order. Tie had finished the filling,etc., at Tariki. and lowered the schooldrain lo the satisfaction of the schoolcommittee.

Foreman Bennett (Junction road east,Moa riding) reported that most of histime, had heen taken up in gathering uploose metal and patching and water-tab-ling. Jle had put in pipes on SlipperyHill, and with Mr. .1. Hart had put joistin Makctawa bridge, and a now cap inNgatoro bridge. The road* had com-menced to break up as a result of thecontinual rain.

Foreman Che flings (Junction roadWest, Moa riding) reported that duringthe month he. had been engaged inspreading metal, raking in and blindingnew metal. Foreman Holmes and hehad re-metalled the Waiongona bridge onthe Mountain road. Metal contracts inthe riding had heen completed. He re-quired two new wheelbarrows for theroads, and a, man to assist him with ex-tra work in connection with the bridgework, fencing, etc.—The matter of wheel-barrows was referred to the chairman todeal with, and the extra assistance askedfor was authorised.

Foreman J. Holmes (Waitara riding)reported that he had been assisting theforeman on the Egmont road in quarry-ing out gravel for the Dorset road. Therest of their time they had continuedclearing out water-tables and making upthesides of the roads. He had inspectedthe weir at Waiwakaiho after the lastflood, and found no damage done, butthere was a little tendency to scour onthe north end.

Foreman F. Holmes (Waitara Westriding) reported that he had metalled 15chains oi Dorset Road. With the help ofthe other foreman ho had quarried out215 yards and carted it on to the Dorsetroad. Most of this had been done byfree labor. He' had inspected the Kaipiroad. There were some very bad pieceson it, but the season was too late forforming it. It would be better if theywould wait for a few months and thenspend the money in metalling. Thereis a gravel-pit to the side of the Toad.Three culverts were required on the Eg-mont road, one on the. Dorset road, onenear Mr. Smith's, and one on the hillnear Mr. J. R. Hill's place. Two wouldhave to be done with timber and theother would require Oin pipes.—Culvertswere authorised.

Foreman Kinlock (Waitara West divi-sion) reported that he had inspectedbridges on the Hursthouse road and Kingroad, and round that several of the deck-ing planks were getting rotten and re-quired renewing.

Foreman Kinlock was granted leave ofabsence for three months, on account ofillness, and Mr. J. Rogers was appointedhis substitute.

Foreman ITusc (Omafn riding) report-ed that lie had been engaged during diemonth in cleaning "lit sand-drifts andbanking up the side of metal with flrayon Spotswood and Breakwater roads. Hehad put on 102 yards of new metal onthe road. The strong wind had done alot of damage to the roads, but tlieywere in fair order. He reported thatMr. ,T. Hooker and A. Xeilson had notcut their gorse on Lower Barrett road,and he could not clean out the watertables until it was cut. A. J\Teilson,'shouses were on the road, one 13ft. andone 12ft on Lower Barrett road.

Messrs. A. Kielson and ,T. Hooker willl>e requested to remove gorse from the.Barrett road opposite their frontage.The. settlers .reported bv Foreman

Brosnan will be requested' to removegorse trimmings from tb» roads withinfourteen flays from date of notice,otherwise the Council will remove thesame and charge cost to the respectiveowners.

Or. MeAlliim explained that the old, Omata Road Board had made an agree-ment concerning these houses, which

were on the road as the result of a widen-ing for subdivision purposes, and theywould be removed at any time if theCouncil required the road. {They werenot impeding traffic, but the foremanwas right in reporting the fact.

A dnngerous place on the Omata hillis to be fenced.A tunnel will be put through i?he oW

Omata road if .satisfactory arrangementscan be made with the adjoining owner.

Foreman Seamark (Omata riding) re-ported that the roads under his controlwere all in fair order. He bad put inten new decking planks in- the Hurfordroad bridge.

The chairman said he had been overthe roads in this riding during themonth, and could congratulate the Coun-cil on having secured a good pmoticalforeman, who was making real improve-ments in the roads.

Foreman Brosnan (Okato riding) re-ported that throughout the past monthhia whole time had been takca up inspreading new metal on the road fromthe crusher, making new waiter-tables onTapuae Hill, blinding, etc. The crusherhad worked for the month 44% hours,equal to 14 days 222y2 hours, crushing 822yards. The contractor, A. C. Vincent,had failed on nine days to deliver thespecified quantity of metal on the road.The method of working the contractswas slow and »ry unsatisfactory to him,as he had to employ casual labor, and atthe. present rate of working it wouldtake to Christmas to get to Puniho. No-tices which he had erected at the Kaihihibridge, notifying that the bridge wasdangerous for traffic, had been torndown. He had prepared the decking ofthe Plymouth road bridge (inland Ta-puae). This bridge had gone past re-pair, as the cross joists were so rottenthat they would not hold the nails. Tim-ber forrenewing was stacked by the sideof the bridge, and some of the. settlersin the district had proposed to give acertain amount of free labor if the Coun-cil would put the bridge in hand. Atpresent it was not safe to take an emptydray over. The majority of the settlersalong the main road were cutting thegorse hedges on the road frontage andblockingup all (he gutters. This was avery serio,.c matter for the Council toconsider, as Hie road was liable to bewashed away; he therefore- -submitted anumber of names of offenders, as well asthe names of ratepayers having over-hanging trees.—Notice will be given toowners to attend to this matter.

Foreman Kva (Tfnrworlh East riding)reported that the roach had been break-ing up a good deal during the la.it weekor so, and if the wet weather continued,it would lake him till his time to keenthem in repnir. 0. Kendall was about 80yards short of boulder* on contract No.204. The f'ouwil should .end him noticeto complete Mm contract, as the metalwas required on the roads.

C. Kendall will be requested to com-plete liis boulder contract on Carrin."-ton road forthwith.

Mr. Hugh Baily waited on the Coun-cil and asked whether the Councilwould reduce the present prohibitivecharges on steam 'waggons at the

Puniho toll-gate, in view of- th« proposalI to establish a steam traction service'i between New Plymouth and Opunake.—;' Consideration deferred,I Mr. E. Griffiths, as a deputation fromr the FiUroy Town Hoard, waited on theI Council in connection with the preserva-

tion of the Waiwakaiho river bed be-low the weir.—The matter will come upagain.

Foreman Norris (Hurworth West rid-ing) reported that the roads were invery fair order.

TOLL-GATE REVENUE.C'r. Andrews' motion to rescind the

previous resolution in reference to theallocation of toll-gate revenue, was de-feated, and the revenue will be dividedas previously agreed upon.

KATES.The chairman gave notice to move at

next meeting that the rates be struckas follows:--Mo:i riding, 3/4 d in the £;Waitara west road district, %d;

| Egmont road district, l'/.d; Omata,ly4d; Okato, %d; Hurworth, %d; an da hospital rate of l-12d in the £.

CR. CARTER'S RESIGNATION.Mr. C. Carter wrote as follows:

''Owing to my leaving for England al-most immediately on matters in con-nection with the Taranaki PetroleumCompany and the uncertainty as to thedate of my return, I beg to tender myresignation as a member ef the Councilfor the Hurworth riding. I have tothank you and the councillors for theuifailing courtesy extended to me whilesitting at the Council's table, and toassure you of the great pleasure it hasheen to me to be associated with you incounty matters.' I have only to hopethat 1 have fceeu of some service in con-nection with the county's finance, whichis now in such a satisfactory condi-tion."—Acerpted with regret.Mr. Carter also forwarded an estimateof the Hurworth riding receipts and ex-penditure for the ensuing year. It;would be seen from this, he said, thaton half-penny rates the Council'sliability would be'reduced by £GS thisyear. He pointed out that £BO of theliability was expended in repairing thetunnel in Frankleigh Park, and as theywere contributing to the bridge ratesof the county and yet had no bridgesto maintain, the Council would, lie feltsure, ngrce with him that it would beunfair to impose any additional rate onthe whole riding to provide for this onework. He therefore asked that in pro-viding for the rate*.for the comingyear that the same rate (a half-penny)should lie struck, as the increased valua-tion on the highly valued lands wouldsoon wipe out any deficiency. He wasquite sure that in this instance theCouncil would hesitate to increase therate as it was impossible to have anyrepresentative elected to act in his placefor the meeting at which the matterwould be under consideration.

GENERAL.Mr. R. D. Cooper asked the Councilto effect some improvements at Spots-

wood to assist in making'an approachto his property at Spotswood, and offer-ing to turn the flood water through hispaddock so that there would be no needfor pipes. This would prevent the, roadfrom being scoured out below his gate.—Referred to foreman. ° jMr. A. M, Burke, Barrett road,asked the Council to .purchase a pieceof land from Mr. Seamark to make nnentrance into Tapuae road leading tohis property. This would be cheaperand better than attempting to put th"present road in repair. The strip ofland referred to had been used for somenine years as a road, and tlw BarrettRoad Board had spent public money onit.—No action taken.

Mrs. R. Paddison asked for some im-provements to King road, which hadnot been formed m front of her section,and was dangerous to traffic—Foremaiiwill report.

Mr. Jamw Carter, of ],eppcrton,drew attention to an encroachment onthe main road by James Phelan, a. rail-way employe, on the east aide of theLepperton [railway Icrossinp.—(Referredto Foreman Holmes for a report.

Mr. W. J). Webster asked the Councilto clear and form to a width of 12 feeta piece of the road leading from Eliotroad to his property. He offered tobear the cost of ploughing enough to,frive a Toad of this width. ITe was alsoanxious that the Council should takesteps to open n road (unnamed) to theWaimea stream past part section 42.Foreman to report.

THE Daily News.THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1911.

THE DECLARATION OF LONDON.The fact that the Imperial Conferencehas consented, not altogether unani-mously, to the ratification of the De-claration of London, is not an absoluteguide to its possible acceptance by the,great Powers. The discussion by theConference is useful in showing to theworld that a new era has dawned inwhich representatives of overseas Do-minions are invited to discuss mattersoftremendous Imperial and internationalimportance. The Declaration of Londondefines the rights of enemy nations andbelligerents during war, the chief pointof interest being the safety or danger offoodstuffs intended for an enemy coun-try, to be consumed by non-combatants.It is at once obvious that in a state ofwar, the most powerful navy havingcontrol of the sea routes to an enemycountry, dependent for its food on out-side supply, could starve that countryinto complete subjection. The Declara-tion, as fa.r as foodstuffs are concerned,rules a line between the act of fightinga country's armed forces and fighting acountry's non-combatant inhabitants.There was apparent disagreement amongthe delegates as to the meaning of thearticles regarding foodstuffs. The Com-monwealth Premier (Mr. Fisher) movedthe resolution which was the subject ofdebate in the following terms:

"That it is regretted that the Do-minions were not consulted prior to theacceptance by the British delegates ofthe terms of the Declaration of London;that it is not desirable that Great Bri-tain should adopt the inclusion in Article24 of foodstuffs, in view of the fact thatso large a part of the trade of the Em-pire is in those articles; that it is notdesirable that Great Britain should adoptthe provisions of Articles 48-54, permit-ting the destruction of neutral vessels."It is obvious that the CommonwealthPremier read a meaning into the articleson foodstuffs, other delegates had notseen. Dr. Findlay, for instance, said that(he articles embodied British usage (intime of war) with respect to foodstuffsfor the past century. Except for expres-sions of regret that initially a matterinvolving a most important declarationof international rights had been virtu-ally arranged without consultation withthe overseasDominions, the fact still re-7iiains that in future wars between Bri-tain and other Powers the weight ofoverseas opinion will not he sufficient toprevent Britain from declaring war, ifBritain believes there is justification forit. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Ministerof Canada, touched a vital point whenhe suggested that a failure to ratifytheDeclaration might prejudicially affectthe hoped-for arbitration agreement be-tween Britain and the United States.One otheruseful effect the discussion and'disagreement as to details has had. isin the extraction of a promise from SirE. Grey that the Dominions would, infuture, he consulted on matters of in- 'ternational moment. The British PrimeMinister has said' the Declaration is anenormous step in advance, and forms ncode of international law. The fact thatit Is generally approved by Imperialstatesmen will have a, £reat moral in-

Ilucnce on the other leading Powers,who are as anxious for a clear definitionof their powers during a state of war asBritain is, and who, moreover, welcomeany discussion that may* hinder armedconflict, and which will assist in a bet-ter mutual understanding between prob-able belligerents. It is more importantto Britain that her seaborne foodstuffsshould be safe in time of war than toany other nation, because she is weaklydependent on food not grown in theBritish Isles. Whether or not Britishships, carrying food for non-combatantBritons, are immune from capture, meansvictory or defeat for Britain. If un-armed vessels are not immune, it neces-sarily follows that they must be con-voyed by warships, and must court de-struction. It will be seen that whenSir E. Grey gaid that a refusal to ratifythe Declaration would be an incentiveto other Powers to conclude inter-national agreements without consultingBritain, he suggested that, without rati-fication, Britain could have no rights ofsea other than those prescribed by otherPowers jealous of her naval dominion.In fact, it presupposed a concentrationof force capable of wresting the rule ofthe waves from this Empire. Althoughthe passing of Mr. Fisher's resolutionneed not necessarily have shaken the Im-perial Government's intention to insti-tute a new code of international law, itwould unquestionably have incensed thePowers agreeable to the code. In whichcase sea-borne goods from the Domin-ions to the Home Land would be ingreat jeopardy, particularly those fromAustralasia, which have to travel suchimmense distances. If foodstuffs are indanger of interference by an enemyPower in time of war—<m> they will ac-cording to precedent, very likely be—thedanger to the foodstuffs of the strongernation will be the least. Retaliationwill, of course, follow privateering orfood raids by enemy ships, and if eventspan out according to precedent it willhe difficult for an enemy Power tostarve Britain into subjection. WhileBritain, by the aid of diplomacy and thehelp of the Dominions; is endeavoringto hasten universal peace, she recog-nises the fact that war might emascu-late any prearranged agreement for itsconduct. In the Declaration of LondonBritain has been generous enough, de-pending on the strength of her greatnavy for safety under any circumstances.Any concessions to foreign Powers areuseless to them if they have not themen and metal to push their advantages.The safety of British food in time ofwar will depend on the ability of thenavy to protect it. It will probablybe able to do so.

CURRENT TOPICS.

MARYS AND GEORGES.Mary, Marchione.*s of Bute, if she hadpreviously no greater distinction thanher nobility, will be mentioned in historyas the authoress of a particularly ridicu-lous suggestion—the raising of a sumfrom the Marys (and ladies of alliednames) throughout the Empire, to pre-sent to the Queen, who doesn't want it.Just as no Mary was ever consulted byher parents at the registration of hername, so was no infant George ap-proached as to whether he should belabelled with that name of plain Peter,William, John, or Henry. By some pro-caw of reasoning, known only to them-selves, some enthusiasts have suggesteda "George and Mary" subscription as anevidence of loyalty. The Jacks and Jen-nies are not of it. It doesn't matterwhether they are loyal or not. Nobodyasks them to buy the good opinion oftheir Sovereign or his Queen with ashilling. By the way, the common wharflaboring George, who trots along hisshilling, or the poor little householdJane, who denies herself chocolates tobuy a Queen a present, will be entitledto all the honor that a Golden Georgeor a Marchioness Mary are to .have, be-cause sums are not to be mentioned.That would be too businesslike. Up tonow the New Zealand Georges have sub-scribed £l4 to the George Fund, andthe Governor is forced into the positionof begging letter writer. Frankly, wehope the fund won't grow, simply be-cause of its absolute uselessness as anexpression of regard for our reveredKing. It is as sensible an idea as pre-senting Mr. Rockefeller with a tin ofkerosene; sending a bag of ironsand toCarnegie; or awarding the British coalkings a sack of "Mokau." The King andQueen can' 4 help themselves. They haveto bear these unnecessary gifts." Wetake consolation in the hope that thoseeminently sensible people, the RoyalGeorge and Mary, will ask the. Marchion-ess to hand over the present in cash, andthat it will be handed out again to some-body who needs it.

BRITISH DISCIPLINE.The Prime Minister of the Common-wealth has noticed that English peoplein the mass are bettor behaved andmore orderly than Australian people inthe mass. He found that on the r::r,d tna great race meting, and at Epsom it-self, the police were almost superfluous.Mr. Fisher has probably not alto«eth.rgrasped tl:-. reason for British orderli-ness. It is ingrained. In Britan -t isneither considered to be toserve or to respect superior qual-ities m one's fellow man. Nationaldiscipline is self-respect and respectfor others The London trafficcould smash the single policeman whoholds up his hand. It is a deep rejectfor constituted authority that restrainsthe traffic-and the policeman would bethe most surprised person in the worldif his action was resented. A Svdnevpush" could not exist in London.' Thepeople wouldn't stand such a violationof decency and discipline. The reasoniintons in the mass respect constitutedauthority is because its great men re-spect it. If British universities have oneuse greater than another it is that theircolleges inculcate and insist on thenameless niceties of conduct, uncommonin most countries outside Britain. Con-sideration for others is not a nationalfeature in alleged ultra-democratic coun-tries. A high-minded, bighh-educatodruling class set the pattern for theiresser brethren. British people are thehost mannered and iriost considerate poo-pie on earth, although the least demon- sstrativc, because in her stressful historyher leaders have set a pattern in disci-pline, sell-control and unselfishness.Everybody who goes to London marvelsat the power of the policeman. Eventhe Australian Premier has mentioned it.It isn't a question of the policeman atall. It is a, matter of national ingraineddiscipline, hard to explain, and almostunknown m anv overseas British posses-sion. "

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

"Mr. I don't intend to inter-view," said a county councillor yester-day, "for we get nothing but choiceBillingsgate from him."

The Post and Telegraph Departmentis to be asked by the Taranaki CountyCouncil to remove five telegraph polesnear Te Henui bridge on t;he Avenueroad, one near the new Mangaorakabridge, and between the Omata churchand Omata hill.

Mr. W. Ambury, the president of theTaranaki Agricultural' Society, has beenaccused of "beating the Rev. Masonfor his job." A wag informed him yes-terday morning that lie had only toannounce the winter show, and it wassure to rain.

Important developments in connectionwdth the Hutt river hydro-electricscheme are, the Post understands, talc-ing place. The scheme was one of thefour main propositions placed beforeParliament last session tor the utilisa-tion of the water power of the Do-minion.

The Taranaki County Council hasagreed with Mr. A. Long to acquire anacre of his land on the Tariki road as ametal pit. The chairman stated at yes-terday's meeting that this section wouldyield enough metal for the locality forthe next fifty or sixty years, andby thattime he expected that aeroplanes wouldhave solved the roading problem.

The advent of the second DominionDairy Show at Hawera is fa«t approach-ing. The, show will be opened on Wed-nesday, July 5, at 12 noon by big Ex-cellency the Governor, with the Hon. T.McKenzie as Minister in attendance.Applications for space are being receiveddaily from all parts of the Dominion.All sections promise to eclipse the in-augural show. Given four days fineweather an attendance far in excess oflaat year is expected.

At Eltham opposition in the picturebusiness is keen. The pictures that havebeen established for some time past lastnight reduced prices to 6d and 3d. Thereis every possibility of further develop-ments in the near future. It is gen-erally_ recognised that the firm firstestablished will put up a determinedstruggle against all opposition. Tomake more thanone show pay in a townthe size of Eltham hardly seemspossible.

The New Plymouth Boxing Associa-tion threw its practice rooms open tothe public last night. A large numberassembled and witnessed some excellentexhibition "spars." The principal boutswere as follow:—J. Thompson (EgmontVillage) v. O'Neill; Dewhirst (EgmontVillage) v. Hawkins; Whitaker v.Francis; Dewar v. Hawkins. Consider-able interest is being taken in thenovice competitions at the forthcomingtournament and large entries are antici-pated.

Fungus, which in the early days ofTaranaki enabled many a strugglingsettler to tide over the bad times, andindeed assisted many well on the roadto prosperity, was an unknown productto the Hon. D. Buddo, Minister of In-ternal Affairs, until yesterday after-noon, when he was being shown aroundthe Taranaki winter show. Whilst in-specting the Bell Block district exhibit,a sample of this commodity wasbrought to bis notice, and he took awaywith him a smull portion as a memento.,

Last night the chairman of the Tara-naki County Council (Mr. J. Brown)and Messrs. C. Andrews and R, Stevens,members of the Council, waited on tkeHon. Minister for Internal Affairs inreference to delay experienced in issuingthe schedule for registration of motor-

cars. TheMinister received the deputationvery affably, and explained the diffi-culties which beset the Department inarranging the registration marks sothat the local bodies should not clashm any way. But he would endeavor,on his return to Wellington, to hav»the matter pushed on as rapidly as

possible.In connection with the winter show,

a rather unique case occurred whereone person has the double right of freeentry and is probably the only one inthe district. Mr. J. C. Davies, for.manyyears secretary of the Agricultural So-ciety, -without remuneration (in thehard old times), was, on leaving forAuckland, voted a life member of thesociety in recognition of his services.He was also one of the members ofthe "Old Volunteer Fund," who donatedtheir .portion to the erection of theDrill Hall, and for which they wereentitled! to a free pass for life to thebuilding at any time or to any func-tion held therein.

On Tuesday night, at Otakeho, Sep-timus and Cecil Harrison, two brothers,were arrested by Constables Carroll andFlanagan, on warrant, for arson atWaitotara. They were taken beforeMr. Canning, J.P., at Hawera yesterdaymorning, and were remanded to appearat the Magistrate's Court, Wanganui,on the 9th instant, Mr. Welsh, who ap-peared for accused, offering no objection.It appears that the accused were milk-ing on shares on the farm of Mr. Jas.Coombcs at Waitotara, Mr. Coombes'house, which contained insured furni-ture belonging to the accused, wasburned down, and it is alleged thatsome of the furniture supposed to havebeen burned was found after the fire ina place of concealment.—Star.

The Christchurch Society for the Pre-vention of Cruelty to Animals has un-der consideration a scheme for estab-lishing in Christchurch a home of restfor horses and dogs under treatment byveterinary surgeons. Mr. W. 11. Zouch,the inspector for the society, believesthat the institution, if established,would be soJf-supporting, and of greatuse in preventing cruelty, because thesystem adopted in England and Indiacould be followed here. When a case ofcruelty was discovered the animal wouldbe taken away from the person whohad charge of it, sent to the home ofrest, and there fed and properly at-tended to until it had quite recovered.It would then he restored to the owneron his paying the cost of maintenance,and no prosecution would follow, theoffender being merely cautioned. Inthe case of subsequent offences, how-ever, the society would institute pro-ceedings against thnsei responsible forthe cruelty.

The Eev. Father Bergin had ratheran exciting experience while drivingliome from Okaiawa on Saturday night,says the Manaia Witness. When cross-ing the Kapuni river the horse suddenlywent out of his depth into a deephole, and in his efforts to extricate him-self, the buggy was overturned andFather Bergin was thrown into thewater. The perilous nature, of his posi-tion was increased by the darkness ofthe night and the plunging of the ter-rified animal, but after some desperateefforts he succeeded in getting bothhorse and buggy out of the river.Father Bei-gin was fortunate in comingthrough his adventure uninjured, but inthe confusion his whip and bothcushions disappeared, but were recover-ed the following day.

Mr. James A. Patten, the retired'• wheat king," is the most recent re-cruit to the band of American million-aires who are making "ante-mortem"distribution of their wealth. Withinthe last six montus he has quietly given£40,000 to different hospitals and

Notlong ago Mr. Patten's brother, Mr.George I'atten, died of tuberculosis, amithe donation is intended to convert thebereavement into a movement of lastingbenefit to humanity. Mr. Patten's planis to establish a laboratory in connec-tion with the university where studentsmay ho encouraged to devote their livesto research -and to carrying on the fightagainst tuberculosis.

The body of Mr. George GodfreyBoulton, the well-known storekeeper, ofDevon-street East, was found ia the-Henui river yesterday morning. Mr;Boulton had been in a despondent condi-tion for some days, nnd when he lefthis premises, presumably to do business,and did not return, anxiety wag felt byhis relatives and many friends.

FITZROY BOWLING CLUB.

IMPORTANT PROPOSALS.

A meeting of members and guaran-tors of the Fitzroy Bowling Club washeld at the Town Hall on Tuesday night '•when important proposals concerning the "future welfare of the club were consid-ered. Mr. T. G. Sole was voted to thechair, and explained that the meetinghad been convened with .the object ofdiscussing proposals for forming theclub /

into a limited liability company. /

Mr. F. Griffiths stated that at thepresent time the membership of theclub did not exceed 35 or 40, whereasif it were formed into a limited liabiMtycompany he thought he would be safein saying that they would have at least100 shares taken up.

Mr. F. Wilson said an idea had gotabroad that the guarantors wished toform a company because the bank wasgoing to'call up its guarantee at once.It was, however, an entirely false no-tion. The present guarantee was a con-tinuing one in the best sense of the wordso long as the club kept its accountalive and succeeded in reducing its lia-bility little by little each year. Thebank was thoroughly satisfied with thesecurity. The guarantors were 'not.at-tempting to seduce the members intoa liability not at present on their shoul-ders. He dealt at length on the ad-vantages that would follow the forma-tion of a company on the lines suggested,and said the guarantors were so satisfiedwith the proposition that they wereprepared to form a company themselves.Ho also added that this scheme wouldenable those second guarantors who hadbeen called upon for the amount of theirguarantees to be paid back in full, andthiswould be done out of the first profit*

On the motion of Messrs Lealana andAbbott the meeting unanimously op-proved of the proposal, the title of thecompany to be the Fitzroy Bowling Club,Ltd., nnd Messrs Lealend, Abbott, Averyand Whitehead as members of the club,and Messrs Humphries, Cattley, Soleand Wilson, representing the guarantors,were appointed a committee to considerthe articles of association, etc. '

SUEZ CANAL EXTORTIONS.

A BAR TO CLOSER UNITY.

By cable.—Press Association,—CopyrightReceived 7, 11 p.m.

London, June 7.General Botha, in a speech at Bristol,

contrasted the occasion with the time•when he did his very best to preventEnglishmen from surrounding him. Theywere now surrounding him as friends,he representing a country where theEnglish and Dutch had grasped hands infriendship for ever.

Mr. Fisher, Sir Joseph Ward and Gen-eral Botha visited Avonmouth dock.They were the guests of the local Cham-,ber of Commerce at dinner. Sir JosephWard, responding to the toast of "ThePrime Ministers of the Overseas Domin-ions," dealt with the closer union of theMotherland and the practical work ofthe Imperial Conference, and said in thelatter connection that it was no useassembling unless they left a record of•work telling its tale in 'the future. Hebelieved the present Conference wouldshow a record of work that would provevaluable to those attending tho next con-ference. He wanted to take the op-portunity presented at this meeting ofrepresentatives of commerce and ship:ping to-ask them to consider how togetrid of the detestable toll-bar betweenBritain and the dominions in the shapeof the extortionate charges on every tonof cargo traversing the Suez Canal. Ifthey desired to bring the distant por-tions of the Empire closer they musthave —e means of transport as cheap aspossible.

THE BLOOD - SUCKING POLICY

0¥ THE SUEZ CANAL.

SIR JOSEPH WARD'S DENUNCIA-TION.

Received 7, 11.35 p.m.London, June 7.

.Sir Joseph Ward, continuing, said acompany had stated that a sum of£30,000 was imposed annually on oneline of steamers traversing the canal.The sum was equal to 'the whole pay-ments made for officers and men. Wasit not time Britain and France, as own-ers of the Suez Canal, began to realisethat over a million .sterling taken, asfar as one partner was concerned, fromthe pockets of those using the canal,over and above the dividend of 3 percent, on the capital, was extortionate?Ere long our American cousins, whowere going to control the Panama Canal,would show that they had not madethe mistake of putting a large baragainst shipping and the developmentof trade across the Pacific. His motionbrought the question before the lastConference, and he heartily endorsed Mr.Fisher's efforts in the same direction atthis Conference. It was a matter ofexceptional importance in connectionwith perishable products.

He concluded by urging the Motherlandto co-operate with Canada. Australia andNew Zealand to secure the completionof a State-owned cable, projected sev-eral years ago, whereof the first linkhad already been successfully laid acrossthe Pacific to Cajiada.

General Botha emphasised the far-reaching importance of the Imperial Go-vernment's decision to take the domin-ions into its confidence in relation toexternal problems. This policy wouldgreatly strengthen the cause of Imperialunity.

NATIONALISING MONOPOLIES

AUSTRALIAN PREMIER INTER-VIEWED.

By Cable—Press Association—Copyright,London, June 6.

The Labor Leader has published aninterview with Mr. Fisher, who declinedto specify what monopolies the Govern-ment had in mind to nationalise if thereferendum had been successful. Hewanted Parliament to have the power tonationalise monopolies that were dan-gerous to the general well-being of thecountry.

Asked whether collectivism was theideal of his party, he said the,platformdid not go further than nationalisingmonopolies. The Government attackedpractical problems, he said, and werenot concerned with Utopian ideas.

He incidentally remarked that onecheck to the Labor movement in Bri-tain was the opposition to women's fran-chise. He failed to understand howadvanced thinkers could justly refusewomen a vote.

FUTURE NAVAL WARFARE.

AS AFFECTED BY THE DECLARA-TION OF LONDON.

GERMAN CAUSTIC CO.vIMENT.

By Cable—Press Association—Copyright.Received 7. 12.25 p.m.

Berlin, June 7.The Krnz Zeitung, in commending the

Imperial Conference's approval of theDeclaration of London, doubts whetherin war time the British under anotherGovernment would strictly adhere to thecodified laws of naval warfare. It de-clares that Sir Edward Grey's state-ment regarding the supremacy of thefleet is scarcely in harmony with thenew code, and describes as equally ques-1tionableLord Morley's statement in theHouse of Lords that the Admiralty be-lieves the effect of the Declaration onthe conduct of naval warfare would beslight. The paper quotes other speechesof British statesmen, especially their re-ferences to Britain's claim to. blockadethe North Sea in war time. It arguesthat with changing party Governmentsuch an intention might be fulfilled. SeaPowers must therefore reckon on thepossibility of British naval law beinghereafter, as hitherto, expressed to thesatisfaction of neutrals, whom even Bri-tain must handle cautiously. Britain'spresent willingness to make concessionsfor the protection of neutral and weakerStates is an indication that in view ofpossible coalitions she regards the estab-lishment of international rules of navalwarfare as useful in her own interests.

The injuries were re-ceived by Mrs. Dummer while on thevoyage from England to New Zealandby the steamer Tainui through fallingdown the hold. Mr. G. Harper and Mr.Stringer addressed the jury on issues,which had been decided on as follows:(1) Was the bunker hatch opened forthe purpose of supplying coal for steam-ing purposes?

FARM AND DAIRY

USEFUL ITEMS.

tin hundreds ef cases we have seenone farmermaking double and sometimesthree or four times the net profit overhis neighbor, and both patrons of thesame creamery. Sometimes we wouldfind one man getting as much moneyfrom a herd half the size of his neigh-bor. We never knew such an instancewhere the most successful man was theignorant, the most careless, and the mostindifferent. A great many dairymenhave tremendous faith in knowing ulittle as possible about their business, inreading and studying scarcely any. But,strange to say, our census takers don't 'find the best producingcows among that ■class of farming, and yet they are rockrooted in the faith that that is the w»to make monev with cows. Queer, isn t 'it?— Hoard's Dairyman.

The Dorset Horn Shecpbreeders' Auo> 'ciation of America numbers 241 members '

representing "20 States, besides Canada.A recent issue of the association bulletin 'fives this good advvice: "Don't go into -the breeding of Dorsets in a sort of half-hearted way. If you do, you will haw ,experience dearly bought. You eamo%raise hot-house lambs in a cold-storagebarn. You must be willing to work at *

night if occasion demands."To reap the most profitable resuK '

from the use of fertilisers the farmermust consider the nature of the soil *flwell as the requirements of the crops heintends to cultivate after application.

Some interest was created recently re-garding the reported operation of the IAmerican meat trusts in the Argentine,but according to Mr. F. K.

WOMAN'S WORLD

(Conducted Dy "Eileen.")

KNIGHTHOOD FOR WOMEN.

Professor W. F. Simpson, of King'sCollege, London, Ims been writing to theTimes drawing attention to the variousphases of women's work as a very hope-ful sign for the future, and confessinghis surprise that, with so many womenprominent in almost every walk of lifeopen to them, there is little recognitionof their services. The Daily Sketchhas been making enquiries, and finds,that the suggestion of a new Order forwoman would be .frankly welcomed as a'means of public recognition of women's'eminence in the arts, sciences and litera-ture. The paper quotes a learned pro-fessor, who preferred to be nameless inthe discussion of a public question,andwho said: "You have nowadays womenof note in the front rank of the drama,of music, of literature, of the arts, ofmedicine, but because they are womenthey do not seem tp get any recognitionwhatever. What a happy idea it would]Ira if, in view of the approaching Corona-tion, women, as a sex, were for the firsttime to be granted official recognition.Suppose that Queen Mary, who is herselta model of all that is womanly, wifely!and whose interest in the intellectual'advancement and social welfare of hersex is deep, were moved to institute a;new Order for women only." An articletaking the same view appeared in theDaily Express on April 4, and concluded:"The foundation of such an'.'order wouldbe worthy of tlie nation thathas so oftenbeen tlie pioneer of progress. Occasioncalls for it, and what time could be morefitting than this year of the Coronationof a King whose every thought is for hispeople's welfare, and a Queen whoso life-long sympathy with women's work hasnever yet been asked in vain?"

ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

Miss Isabel Cleghorn, of Sheffield—the.first woman to fill the presidential chairof the English National Union of Teach-jers—was installed into office in April,and in an inaugural address of greatpower thus outlined her ideals of a per-]fected scheme of national education:— i

It is to be a system that will evolveout of the present scheme when priestand politician shall have setjtled theirdifferences, when all the grant earning!schools of ithe country shall be under the jsame kind of management, wh«n theeducation authorities shall be freed fromthe bug-bear of an ever-increasing rate,and when the Imperial Exchequer skalibear its full burden of the cost of na-tional education. She would make alleducation up to the age of twelve yearsprimary in name -and practice, and afterthe age of twelve she would require asystem of ladders, by means of whiskall could climb—not necessarily to a uni-versity or a training college, but to thegoal of their own individual ambitions. Anew system of secondary education, ia-cluding domestic and trade, as well ascommercial and literary education, wouldtake time, and would require legislativeimpulse, tn say nothing of legislation, iThe Manchester Guardian (no meanauthority) paid Miss Cleghorn this!unique compliment in its cditoral:—"ltJwas the kind of speech to confirm one inthe belief that women are even more in-terested than men in the work of edu-cation, and have more understanding ofits essentials. . . . Miss Cleghorncovered the field of education, from theinfant school to the university, and hadmuch to say that was well worth quar-relling with—which is the highest testof excellence in a presidential address."

BRIDES' FAVORITE AGE.Tie full report of the Registrar-Gen-

eral for Great Britain for 1909 on births,marriages and deaths contains many in-teresting facts. The marriage rate ia1909—14.6 per 1800 of population—showsa fall of J7.4 per cent, when comparedwith the rate of 1870-1880. The Regis-trar-General states that the effect ofthe modern tendency towards postpone-ment of marriage is clearly shows in th«facts that the marriage rates for wo-men, whether single or widowed, havedeclined in all age groups except 25-35,awd that the marriage rates for bach-elors have generally increased at agesabove 25, below which age there is alarge decrease. In 1909 the number ormarriages of divorced persons who re-married in 1876-78 was equal to about19 per cent, of the number divorcedduring that period, whereas in 1009 thepro,porticm had risen •to about 50 percent. "It should be pointod »ut, how-ever," he report adds, "that ia somecases persons who have been divorcedabroad re-marry in this country, andalso that the figures refer only to per-sons described in the marriage ragisteras divorced, and possibly this descrip-tion is n#t given in all cases in w*iichit is applicable. It is .pointed out thatof the marriages of Kiiuors—'which onl!he whole show a continuous decrease—Wis highest proportions were recorded inthe mining and manufacturing counties.Almost four-fifths of the marriagea con-tracted in England and Wales during1909 were solemnised with religiousceremonial. This proportion had beensteadily, decreasing since 1851 in favorof the growing tendency to resort tosuperintendent registrars' offices forpurely civil marriage, and was smallerin 1909 than in any previous year.

"THE POWER BEHIND THETHRONE."

Carcnclita, hhe wife of the ex-Presidont Diaz, of Mexico, known, toevery woman in Mexico by thatname, lias been the ''power be-hind the throne".for many a day. Thename means "Little Carmen," and is ateim of affection and endearment. Sheis thedaughter of Senor Rubio, who washis one-time fierce opponent, but theyburied their differences when he becamethe other's prospective son-in-law. Theywere mawied in 1882, and went on ahoneymoon tour of the United States.His first wife left him several children,of whom two sons survive, and MadameDiaz was as fond of them as if theyhad been her own. She is a devout,ardent Catholic, is very charitable, andis an indefatigable worker. Her petcharity is an institution known as thiiWorking Women's Home, which was es-tablished by her, and is doing a greatwork towards bettering the condition

of the women of the lower classes. Nogreater contrast could be imagined than"Carmelitx" was to her famous husband.He was an image of stone; she is a pa-trician in every sense of the word. Sheis most highly accomplished, having beeneducated in the United States and Eur-ope, and speaks several languages fluent-ly. Her charming personality is said tocaptivate all who come in contact withher. She exercised a wonderful in-fluence over her husband. Those whowere acquainted with the domestic lifeof the ex-President said that in all hewas in suavity, polish, diplomacy, andetiquette he owed to the woman whopresidod over his home. She softenedhim, rounded his sharp corners, andtamed the lion who brooked no ques-tioning ofhis word. This is the tributethat is paid to her personalty by onewho knew her well: "Mm. Diaz has sether indelible impression upon her coun-try in the period of its greatest growth.Quiet by nature and of a retiring dis-position, she has not assumed a strid-ent part in the social arena of officiallife. Rather has she played, with quietpersistence, the role of helpmate to aman burdened with the destiny of anation."

WebsterBro§.' mart in Devon street are attract-ing much attention, as they certainlydeserve, and they cannot fail to arousethe admiration of all who see them.They are from the brush of Mr. J.Douglas Perrett, of Auckland, and tkcpeople of New Plymouth are indeed for-tunate in having placed before themthis opportunity of selecting pictureswhich are of such a high standard ofmerit. In the absence of any annual

, exhibition by an art 60»iety, these dis-plays by artists of ropute are distinctlyof educational value, introducing loversof art to new methods of treatment a/ndnow subjects. In the present collection,which includes many different classes ofmountain and lake scenery and sea-scapes, Mr. Perrctt's "Mount Cook fromLake Pukaki" is the finest picture otthe Alps that we have seen. Paintedin bold, free style, with a masterly gripof color effect, toe picture is ene whichmust command a great deal of attentionfrom art-lovers. The snow is admirably idepicted, and the contrast of this withthe sombre shades of the foreground k :extremely happy. The color effects, as Iis usual with Mr. Perrett, are par-ticularly mellow, unstrained, and theeffect of distance and genonfl grandteuraaid loveliness of tke; scenes arc wellbrought home. These remarks apply tothe comparison picture, "Evening, LmkcTe Anau," the beautiful sky, lofty,peaks, and shimmering water make upa scene charmingly and artistically de-picted by aa artist whose color ccmcop-tkms are of the highest order. "TheDrop Scene, Wanganui River," and "TheClinton Valley," are also very finepictures. Altogether, there is much,here to interest the folks of New Ply- 1mouth, and the cordial support of thepublic is asked, so that the visits ofartists of repute may continue, andevwn increase.

The Winter ShowA DISTINCT FORWARD MOVE.

' VERY ATTRACTIVE EXHIBITION.

The Taranaki Agricultural Society'ssecond annual winter show opened yes-terday in the Drill Hall and in theneighboring large temporary buildingcovering in Kawau-street. Unfortunate-ly for the Society,' this wag the day on■which the fine spell of weather electedto break, and torrential .rains fell duringthe morning. This must have greatlyaffected the attendance, but despite thisnearly four times as many people paidfor admission during the afternoon as•n the first afternoon of last year'sshow.

This show marks a distinct advanceupon its predecessor in nearly everyway. Entriesare larger—los 3as against758 last year, exclusive of the articlesplaced on exhibition only, which showedan increase of sixteen. But the fea-ture of the show is quality, whilst thecompetitorshave shown greater skill andcare than usual in the staging pf theirexhibits. Many of the classes werevery large, and in several of such casesthe quality was so evenly high that thejudgee had a heavy task before finallyallotting, the prize tickets. This, ofcourse, is as it should be, for the succeßsof the show depends very largely uponthe patronage of the general pubiic. andthe general public want to see things■which are above the ordinary. In thisrespect the show can certainly claimthe widest possible measure of support,for some of the exhibits are eye-openersin their excellence, either as the result lof skilful and careful cultivation of themi], or in clever manipulation of brush,'pen, pencil, chisel, or other implements.The hall is capitally arranged, and thelighting arrangements are splendid. Thecommittee and officials generally are■hard workers, as is plainly evident in thesmoothness with which all the arrange-ments seem to be proceeding. Show-time, just as in the week preceding it,is an anxious time for the officials, andparticularly for the president and secre-tary. In this case the president is Mr.Walter Ambury, who has thrown hiswhole energy into the work and kindledenthusiasm .in others, whilst the secre-tary is Mr. A. Cliff, quite new to thesecretarial work in a matter of suchmagnitude, but skilled for years pastin details of management of the springshow. His courtesy and affable man-ner, together with his previous expert-ence and a brimming-over energy, makehim an excellent secretary. There arenot quite as may trade displays as inthe first show, but still a considerablenumber of the local firms have engagedspace and have erected very attractivedisplays, many of general interest andothers peculiarly interesting to the manon the land. These trade displays givea fine indication of the class of workturnedout in some of the New Plvmouthfactories, and the excellence of these isbound to commend itself to the public.The "exhibition only" series has numer-ousrare and unique specimens, and here-in is contained quite a little exhibition.•Space, however, is not available for full

fention of these in this issue..The standard is very high in the fieldroots and garden produce. Mr. J. Gib-

son, who judged these, made "specialmention" of many exhibits, and foundhimself wishing that there was some-thing even better than a first prize.Speaking to a "News" representative hesuggested that the Society should issuecertificates of merit in ca'ses where theexhibit was of exceptional quality. Thestump-rooted carrots have perhapsnever be equalled on any show-standslocally, whilst the leeks would do creditto any gardener anywhere. As at lastyear's show, the onion-growers wereparticularly well represented, both firstand second prize-winners in the heavy-weight onions being, in the opinion ofthe judge, worthy of special mention.Folks who consider they can growperfect onions should see thesewithout fail. The collection ofonions shown by Mr. G. V. Tate waslittle short of wonderful, and in theropes of onions, all so perfectly shaped,sound, and even, the judges had greatdifficulty in deciding. Potatoes weregood, but few, but kumeras were whatthe judge called "grand." The collec-tion of gourds which took first prizewas a bit of an eye-opener to the judge,as it was, of course, to the generalpublic, and the melons, pumpkins, andmarrows shown were also of unusualexcellence. The heaviest pumpkin onexhibition weighed 651b.

DISTRICTS EXHIBITION.The district competition in farm pro-duce drew only two exhibits, but these

■were of real merit, representing thework of many hands on many farmsand in many homes. The two collec-tions shown came from Waitara Westand Bell Hock, and were placed in thatorder. The decision was not arrivedat quite as easily as that, though.There were five judges, Messrs. J. Cib-son and J. J. Elwin judging quality,Messrs. Jas. Burgess and Geo. Cliff onquantity, and Mr. H. Goodacre ongeneral appearance. The deciding on adefinite ,plan of judging, and the com-parison of the two exhibits, item byitem, was a big order. Bell Block ledon general appearance, the WaitaraWest exhibit suffering by the disqualifi-cation, so to speak, of the whole of theexhibits of the Sentry Hill flour mills,and several photographs by professionals,whilst only two saddles in the otherbay were disqualified. The Bell Block-exhibit started, too, at the ground,whereas the lower part of the WaitaraWest exhibit was composed of untidyboxes, and the upper part of "theBlock" was also superior, as being com-posed of farm products. The cerealportion of the Waitara West exhibit"knocked spots out of Bell Block," toquote a remark by the judge. Inquality, Waitara West won by 40 to32, and it won by 25 to 20 on quantity.A fulleT description of these two bays,which contain hundreds of separate ex-hibits, must be held till to-morrow, as,owing to a misunderstanding, some ofthe judges' points were not availableJast night. The conditions governingthis exhibit will probably be re-framedas the result of the recommendations ofthe judges.

COOKERY.The judges had a difficult task in

judging this section. The classes werein many cases large, and in almostevery instance the quality was good.The competition in home-made bread■was especially keen, the quality havingbeen probably unsurpassed in any localshow benches. All were good, theywere never better, and were very hardto pick out. The judges were con-cerned as to the definition of sweet9c00e9, holding the opinion that currantscones should be shown in a separateclass.

FARM EXHIBITS.There are several model .hay-rick

coverings, a model silo, and commenton these will be given in our next issue,as will the judge's remarks concerningthe twelve exhibits in Messrs. E. Grif-fiths and Oo.'s gold wateli competitionfor swedes. ..,

Working exhibits will be judged to-day, and the results in the farm ser-vants' long service class will be an-nounced to-night.

THE OPENING CEREMONY.There was a very fair attendanceiwhen the formal opening teok place,'the speakers being the Hon. D. Buddo,Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. W.

Ambury, president of the society, andMr. G. Tisch, Mayor of New Plymouth,who apologised for the absence of Mr.H. Okay, M.P., from the ceremony, hebeing at the moment engaged in anopening ceremony at Warea. The Hons.T. Kelly and 0. Samuel, M.sL.C, werepresent on the .platform.

Mr. W. Ambury, the president, beforecallin'g on the Mayor of New Plymouthfor his speech, said that last year thesociety had made an attempt to runthe first winter show, and from the ex-perience gained then they were nowable to make this a very much biggeraffair than' that. The progress waseasily evident to even the most casualobserver of the two shows. He want-ed to congratulate the exhibitors on theexcellence of the farm products shown.He declared that this display wouldcompare favorably with any in any partof New Zealand, and some of the ex-hibits were worthy of any show in thekingdom. "That's not blowing," addedMr. Ambury, "that's an absolute fact."The president concluded by thankingthe exhibitors, the committee, thestewards, the judges, and everyone whohad assisted in bringing about to-day'ssuccess.

Mr. G. Tisch, Mayor of New Ply-mouth, recalled the opening day of thefirst show, whereat Mr. Ambury had in-troduced his "baby," the first show.Tliat "baby" had grown well, and it*development showed very plainly thatthe climate and soil of this part of.Taranaki was very favorable to growthof infants of this kind. He congratu-lated Mr. Ambury heartily on the man-ner in which he had stuck to this busi-ness, at one time standing almostalone. This was a really excellent show,and brought more home to the people,in Taranaki the value of co-operation,which, as everyone knew, was the basis,of the success of the dairying industry.As a .proof of "what little Taranaki can|do," this show was something to beproud of. He hoped that the peoplewould so support this show as to makeit possible for the society to start afund for the erection of permanentagricultural hall for its winter shows,for the horticultural shows, and asj ahome for the society, with its secre-tary's office and members' club-Toom.This could be done by the people at-tending the show and bringing alongtheir friends. He hoped the farmerswould make a start right now to pre-pare for next year's show. His Wor-ship went on to refer to the very greatassistance given, to the farmers by theGovernment, and he thanked the Hon.Mr. Buddo for coming up here to per-form the opening ceremony. He thenintroduced the Minister, who wag

greeted with a round of applause.The Hon. Mr. Buddo expressed his

pleasure at being present to perform theopening ceremony of the second wintershow. His experience of winter shows,and the experience of most societieswhich had "touched" them, w s that)they were not profitable concc..;s, bullhe trusted that this exhibition .;« re-presenting the progress of a most pro-ductive district, would result in a re-turn commensurate with the greatefforts put forth, and would lead to theerection of permanent buildings. Thehon. gentleman referred to the influenceof these shows in adding some zest tothe lives of the farmers by bringingthem into healthy competition one -withthe other. They weTe apt, he said, toneglect matters of pleasure and comfortsuch as were given so much attentionby the people of the towns, but he be-lieved that these shows would tend to 1make the farming life more attractiveto the young people. He referred infacetious terms to the abundance of theTaranaki rainfall, of Which he had hadpersonal experience that morning whilstmotoring to the North Egmont Moun-tain House, and, speaking as one in-terested in agricultural pursuits in Can-terbury, said that ten hours of suchrain in the southern province duringNovember or December would have puta totally different complexion on the re-sults of the farming operations there.As a grazing district he knew of nopart of New Zealand to beat Taranaki,he said, but he wondered whether Tara-naki was doing her best. Many of thefarms which he had passed possessedexcellent pastures, the plough and thesower having done their part well. Bui.he could not help thinking of the changethat could be effected in some of thefern-covered lands by a burn, somegood seed, and a top-dressing of basicslag. There was more need than evernow for the farmers to keep in closetouch with the experimental work inbreeding, .pastures, and so on, and totake every advantage of the money pro-vided by the State for experimentalpurposes. Farmers were too prone toadhere to the methods which had beengood enough for their predecessors, butwere they good enough for ue? Asshowing the benefit of the scientificiknowledge placed by the State at thedisposal of the farmers, Mr. Buddo re-ferred to the very recent years whenthe ravages of blackleg had made italmost impossible to raise young cattlein this .province. Now, however, thedisease had been practically extermin-ated by the co-operation of the farmerswith the Government Veterinary De-partment. Referring to the extra-ordinary high values of land ill thisdistrict, he said that the Valuation De-partment had not endeavored to keeppace with the idea of values set by thepurchasers of land. He spoke of thevalue of the local shows, as tending to]improve the quality of exhibits to besent on to metropolitan shows in othercentres, and .recommended the youngfarmers to become proficient judges. Agood judge of stock was, he said, veryoften a good farmer, and a good buyerof stock could generally sell to ad-vantage.

Touching briefly on the primary pro-ducts of the Dominion, the Ministersaid that they had had a, record yearin the matter of exports of producefrom this country, and there was moreto follow. As yet, the surface of muchof the best land had only been scratch-ed. The farmer of the future wouldhive to go in for more intense farming,and the working of restricted areasshould give better results.

In passing, he congratulated the dis-trict on, the healthy prospects of the oilindustry, which had now passed the ex-perimental stage, and he felt sure thatwhen the new company got to work,and the oil wells were able to supplythe whole of the Dominion, there wouldbe nothing but congratulations fromevery portion of the Dominion. Speak-in? ort the delevopment of the countryled him to remark on the policy of theGovernment, and he said he had noticedthat Taranaki still required bridges and•railways. These could not he built■without borrowing, and he expressedthe o.pinion that this conntrv cnnld dostill with judicious lion-owing for publicworks.

The hon. gentleman congratulated thesociety on this excellent show, whichwas a great, credit to the workers andto tiie district, and should have theeffect of drawing greater attention tothe produce of the ■ district. He thendeclared the show open.

The following telegram was receivedduring tlie afteinoua from ike Hon,

Thos. Mackenzie, Minister of Agricul-ture: "I very much regret that I amunable to be "with you to-day. Youknow your show has my best wishesfor success. I hope one and all willhave reason to be thoroughly satisfied■with it. May the society have a mostsuccessful career."

There was a good attendance againduring the evening, and many were theexpressions of satisfaction ami plea-sure. The Garrison Band playedthrough the streets to the hall, andrendered a capital programme duringthe evening.

The show opens again at 10 o'clockthis morning, and will be open till 10p.m., with the exception of from 5 to7 p.m. The same time-table is fixedfor Friday and Saturday.

DAIRY FACTORY PRODUCE.(Judges, Messrs Wright and Grant, of

the Grading Department; Stewards,Stewards, Messrs 11. J. King, J. Eustaceand T. Smellie).

The entries in the butter sectionswere not very numerous, but there weresome of. excellent quality. It is un-fortunate that Tarnnaki, which has suchan excellent reputation as the dairyingprovince of New Zealand, should havemade such a wretched display of butteraud cheese. In the butter competitionfor the Shaw, Saville and Albion Co.'s£25 cup, which came to hand yester-

day, there were six entries, three fromTaranaki and three from outeide theprovince. The premier place was wohby the Taieri and Peninsula Milk SupplyCompany, of Otago, with the fine gradeof 96 points, out of a possible 100. Itis pleasing to note, however, that themaker, Mr. C. Capel,is an old Taranakiboy, who learnt his butter-making inthis province. Tho second place wastaken by Rangitikei, with 95 points, andBunnythorpe was third with 94 points.Tikorangi, with 93% points, took prideof place for Taranaki, Bell Block scoring93. The Moa Dairy Co. had entered inthis and the next two classes, but wasnot judged,at the request of the mana-ger, as the cream was not pastetirised.The judges considered that it shouldhave been judged. Taieri, with 98 points,also won the butter competition, Rangiti-kei coming second with 94>/2 points, andBell Block third with 94 points. Thenovice class was also won by an outsider,the Bunnythorpe Dairy Co., with 95points, Tikorangi being half a point be-hind. The Mangorei Dairy Co. (T. H.Robinson, manager) won the prize forbest 41b of factory butter, Marfell Bros,doing likewise for privately-made but-ter.

In cheese the competition for the NewZealand Shipping Go's challenge cupwas distinctly disappointing—in fact,there was none. The Kaponga DairyCo.' (C. Farley, manager) was the onlyexhibitor, and has the honor of havingits name inscribed on the cup. Thecheese scored rather low, viz., 91 points,so that it was not a particularly formid-able tally to beat. Oaonui had entered,but its cheese did not come to hand. Itis understood that it left the factoryon Tuesday. If Kaponga can win thecup next year it will be the property ofthat factory. It is hoped, however,that next year the competition will be

keener, and that no factory will have abloodless victory. Results.-Shaw, Savill and Albion Shipping Co.'s

But limitations of time, ofopportunity and of season, rendered anexhaustive and detailed examination im-possible when the extensive province otCanterbury was encountered. For in-stance, if one traversed all the roads inthis laud district he would have travel-led no fewer than 10,000 miles! If hetook all the available railway journeys(one way only) his ticket account wouldbe for over 500 miles; while the sea-board, which is skirted daily by inylportant ferry and intercolonial services,has a length of some 300 miles. Thereare numerous rivers which distributetheir life-giving waters over maiy val-leys and plains, the various lengths of!the streams being 100, 90, 85, 74, CO anda lesser number of miles. In the whole*district there are 9,004,045 acres, whichland is officially divided into 2,040,071acres of first-class land, 5,207,173 acresof second-class, and 2,350,801 acres otjthird-class land, the last-named being"barren land and land of small value."A trip across the Plains, either by roador by rail, provides a vivid impression'of extensiveness. Miles upon end may Ibe travelled over roads which are aslevel as a table. It is a big district—-big in accomplishment and big in pos-1sibility. There is no other ''flat" inNew Zealand which in points of size andagricultural productivity can compare'with that huge plain, two and a-haltmillions of acres in extent, which frontsthe ocean and occupies the area be-tween the Ashley and the Opihi rivers.It is upon this sweeping plain that thecity of Christchurch is situated. Of the9y 2 millions of acres of land in the dis-trict, only a little over 500,000 acresare 'in forest, but on the plains theplantations of imported trees lend them-selves attractively to the landscape.Back on the hiils, a»d high up, theploughs go and a clump of trees is themark of a homestead. One cannot butfeel that a real need of the district isa good hedge. For this purpose gorse islargely used, but gorse, unless verycarefully tended, invariably becomesscraggy and unsightly. In this regard itmay be said that nowhere in New Zea-land are there so many fine farm hedgesas in South Taranaki, where boxthorngrows in massy walls of sombre green,affording splendid protection for thestock. In Canterbury, on account of theheavy winds experienced, shelter hedgesare essential and the gorse is service-able, although it has the disadvantageof spreading rather badly. In the flow-ering seasog these hundreds of miles ofgorse lend a golden glory to the view,giving color to the belts of pines anUgums and other trees—plantations whichgive to Canterbury a most distinctiveappearance.

A GREAT GRAIN CENTRE.If one takes the map of Canterbury

it will be noticed that along the easternportion, from the Hurunui river to thesouth of Timaru, there is a line of rail-way which forms the main artery ofcommerce. At regular intervals branchlines strike into the interior of the pro-vince, draining the produce to the com-mercial centres. It is along the eastcoast that the great plains lay; inland,from mere hills the country develops in-to mountains, rough, rugged and grand.But from the point of view of utility itis tho hills which lend themselves so ad-mirably to sheep farming, and even tothe plough, which command most atten-tion. In one sense Canterbury must beregarded as fully oicupied. Practicallyno pioneering Temains to be d»»e, ai-thomgh the province has yet to experi-ence extensive changes in the way ofintenser cultivation and olossr sheop-farming and cattle-grazing settlement.It is upon the Canterbury plains them-selves that we have the great whwat-growing contro of the South Island.These plains altne would furnish a mul-titude ef examples of up-to-date agricul-tural husbandry for the whole of NewZealand. Much' of the cropping is donein a very big way, but that is not t«be wondered at when it is consideredthat the arable area has a length ofsome 150 miles and a breadth, from thesea coast inland, of about 40 miles. Itis a great thing to be able to say thaton a plain of 3,009,000 acres, by'whichthe greater part is admirably adaptedto the growth of grain, barley and oats,besides cultivated grasses and forageplants. In point of quality there is arange from soil which looks more like ariver-bed than ploughable land, to landof excellent quality. Probably the heav-iest land is to the north of Christchurch,near Rangiora. In this locality up to£OO per acre is paid for land for mixedfarming. The mention of price remindsone of the extraordinary differences invalue, even upon the plain itself. Insuch territories as Banks Peninsula, richcountry broken in the making intoridges and gullies, and round aboutTimaru, where it is rather hilly, one ex-pects variations in price, but on theeven surface over which one may tra-vel for, say, 100 miles in a straight linewithout meeting a rise of any land thevisitor is surprised at the richest andpoverty of soil in proximity. One hearsof sales at £BO and £9O, but thereis plenty of land available at £7 to £lOper acre. Extending from Cheviot teWaitaki there are some splendid tractsof plain and down lands, and the gran-ary of the south is in the rich alluvialsoil centres about Cheviot, Rangiora,Ellesmere, Tcrauka,.Waimate and otherplaces. Interspersed on the plain aremany light and stony patches, some stillin tussock (which looks odd when theage of settlement is remembered) andthese inferior lands are used for pas-toral purposes. The native grasseswhich abound have been found to bemost suitable for the aristocraticmerino. Not only the rich flats, but thedowns and the lower hills are cultivated.The splendid draught stock to be seen,'the fine sheep and cattle, and the usefuland highly ornamental plantations andshelter clumps give a convincing atmos-

iherc of prosperity to this moderniornucopia. Clover and grass-seed nour-ish their crops; rye, peas, beans, pota-toes, carrots, beet and mangolds thrive,but the chief crops are of wheat, oats,barley, turnips and rape. In wheat-grovfing Canterbury is easily the mostimportant district in New Zealand, tormore than two-thirds of the total wheatarea of the Dominion are embraced with-in its borders. In 1909-10 the area inCanterbury tinder crop for threshing was210,000 acres. Besides growing 70 bush-els out of every 100 bushels of wheatgrown in New Zealand, Canterbury pro-duces 45 per cent, of the oats, and 35per cenff. of the barley all theDominion produces. Thron rhout the dis-trict, by road or by railway, one is im-pressed by the up-to-date agriculturalmachinery and the commodious store-houses which tell eloquently of thegreatness pf this grain centre.

Writing of London's second series ofwool sales on March 14, the Live Stock'Journal says that of the quantity avail-able it was noticed that a full half wasfrom New Zealand, and "on that accountthe offering of crossbred wools wereheavy; but trade, especially in thiscountry, is so fully employed that nofear of over-supply need be entertained."

This is from an American paper: "TheEnglish Agricultural Show at Liverpoolcleared 27,000 dollars, a great live 9tockshow of all the pedigree breeds of livestock, agricultural products, and ma-'chlnery. No side-shows, horse-racing, orany entertainments are permitted on thegrounds to detract from the benefits ofthe show to the visitors who attend theshow. What a contrast to our Americanfairs, with their disgraceful side-shows,horse-racing, and scores of attractions.

Mr. B. W. Snow, the American agri-cultural statistician, gives an estimateof 46,334,000 as representing the numberof cattle, other than milch cows, in theI'nitcd States on January 1, 1911, a de-crease of 945,000 head from the Govern-ment figures of a year ago, while 3,045,-000 below the Government estimate oftwo years ago. The head of pigs, as esti-mated by the same statistician, is 49,-215,000, an increase of 1,433,000 overJanuary 1, 1910. The estimates go toprove (says the Drovers' Journal) thelong-time argument of beef shortage, andthough hog growth is showing some in-creases under stimulus of high prices inthe past year, it will be at least anotheryear until the trade shall have receivedfull benefit from the effort towards in-creased production. Meanwhile, declin-ing cattle production points to an alarm-ing scarcity as probable within anotheryear.

The public are becoming rno9t fas-tidious about dress and appearance.You must be "just so." If your cloth-ing doesn't fit you they talk. If it doesfit you nicely, they talk, and want toknew where you purchased it Toucan get perfectly fitted with any gar-ment you want to wear, best quality, atlowest cash prices, at Ambury's, Devonstaeet.

When you get Roslyn you get the bestin all-wool blankets, rugs, tweeds, Wor-steds, hosiery, unshrinkable flannal andunderwear, "Delta" finish; so when pur-chasing woollen goods always say, "Ros-lyn. please."—Advt.
