1939 Annual Show
18th Annual Show a Great Success.
Bounteous Season Reflected in Exhibits.
Great Southern Herald
18 October 1939 – P3
The undoubted success of the 18th annual show of the Nyabing Agricultural Show, which took place at the society’s grounds on Saturday, augurs well for subsequent shows to be held in the district this year. Being first on the list Nyabing show is always regarded to some extent as a criterion of what may be expected from the other district shows, and it is pleasing to record such a conspicuously successful opening for the series.
Nyabing has experienced good seasonal conditions this year, and this was very evident in the quality and number of exhibits. The president of the society, and his committee, have worked hard and played their part to provide better facilities both for the public and the exhibitors. The combination of a good season and an administrative body which will not allow grass to grow under its feet has resulted probably, in Nyabing’s best show.
Without exception every section representative of the district’s primary industrial activity showed an improvement both in numbers and quality. For once on record every available sheep pen was occupied, and the stock displayed were in real show condition. Mr. A. R. Hobart’s strong wool ram, which won both champion and grand championship ribbon, a big bodied strong-wool sire, with an even covering of bright breedy wool, was an outstanding sheep, and an indication of the strides which have been made at Nyabing in the production of good merinos.
The same might be said of his strong-wool ewe, a beautifully built and well covered matron with the fleece packed on every inch of her body.
Of the Agricultural produce section, the Judge, Mr. A. S. Wild, B.Sc., District Agricultural Adviser, declared it was the best display he had seen at Nyabing. The wool, which took up a big section of the exhibition hall, was a true mirror of the season, long of staple, beautifully conditioned and of the real bale-filling kind.
A bumper entry was received in the poultry section and even with the generous supply of pens secured in recent years by the Society, more had to be provided to accommodate the birds. The draught horses were well up on last year, and the judge, Mr. G. A. Thompson, described them as a very good lot. Cattle, a section which has always failed as an index of districts achievement, this year showed signs of a revival, but still holds room for further improvement.
The only weak link at the show was the fat lamb class. The society has made provision for this important industry in the sheep section, and it is known that at least a dozen farmers could have staged good entries. Why did they neglect to do so?
THE EXHIBITION HALL.
There was a wonderful array of cookery in the exhibition hall, and a really creditable exhibition of needle work and woollens. The fact that all space was occupied and there were up to a dozen entries in many classes testifies to the enthusiasm and industry of the Nyabing ladies. The educational work was a revelation, not only in numbers, but also in quality and variety. Real artistry and craftsmanship were seen in the fretwork, manual and miscellaneous classes. Skillful hands indeed were required to manufacture some of the matchbox furniture, soap dishes, fretwork models and raffia work which was displayed on the show benches.
The inter-school challenge shield was won easily by Chinocup which actually won on points without making allowance for its handicap by virtue of smaller numbers.
THE SOCIAL SIDE.
The President, Mr. E. F. Goodchild, was conspicuously busy in his presidential duties and making the visitors feel at home, while the secretary, Mr. J. Firth and assistant secretary, Mr. F. M. Coate, had all records in excellent order. The ladies attended to the refreshment needs of the show with their usual thoughtful skill. Their task was made much easier by a new cutting safe, and more moving space in the refreshment room.
Besides the wet canteen, which in spite of the dull weather, netted quite a little nest-egg for the society and, which with its new appointments and water-proof counter, was the scene of convivial fellowships and happy reunions, There were numerous side shows, performing monkeys, power driven merry-go-round, cheap-jacks galore, wild west and beauty shows. A continuous programme of ring events kept the patrons on their toes, including trots, well organised bicycle races and some interesting equine events.
It is a tribute to the society and its committee that instead of finishing with an overdraft, the show has been such a success as to enable all commitments to be met out of revenue. When it is borne in mind that £34 had been expended beforehand on improvements, and the prize-money bill was heavier than usual, the significance of this achievement can be realised. The society will start the new year with a clean sheet, further improvement to the grounds, and in the knowledge that its confidence in the district has been fully justified.
THE OFFICIAL OPENING.
The official opening took place out side the exhibition hall. at 2 p.m. Introducing the visitors, including the Hon. A. A. M. Coverley, M.L.A., Minister for the North West and Native Affairs, who was present with Mrs. Coverley, Messrs. H. V. Piesse and C. H. Wittenoom M’s.L.C. and the Member for the District, Mr. A. F. Watts M.L.A., the President of the Nyabing Agricultural Society, Mr. E. F. Goodchild, thanked his committee and co-members for their loyal support. He said the show was in every way a success. Entries were more numerous than previous years, competition was keener and the exhibits, almost without exception, were of better quality. His society had done its part towards the show, by providing facilities and further improvements to the ground, and the people of the district had given their loyal support.

The Hon. A. A. M. Coverley referred to the general high standard of exhibits. He had always been told that one could judge a district by the stock it produced, and after examining the sheep, horses and cattle in the Nyabing Show he concluded that the district was a wealthy one. A visit to the exhibition hall tended to confirm this, for he had noticed a fine display of wool and some excellent samples of new season’s hay, both wheat and oats.
He had been particularly struck by the work of the schoolchildren and the display of cookery and needlework in the home-craft sections. He had already learnt from experience that the women of Nyabing were well versed in the art of cooking, for he had visited the refreshment booth a short time before.
The show compared favourably with any others he had seen in the Great Southern Districts and was a credit to the President and his Committee. In declaring the 1939 show open, the Minister wished the society continued success and prosperity, and thanked the President for giving him an opportunity to visit the district.
Moving a hearty vote of thanks to the Minister, Mr. A. F. Watts, M.L.A., said that if the term “wealthy,” as used by Mr. Coverley in his earlier remarks, meant ability to produce, then the farmers of the Nyabing district were wealthy. If, however, he meant monetary reward for their labours and production, some doubt might be raised, for up to date, in spite of representations to various departments, nothing definite could be found out as to what price they would receive for what they produced.
Representations were still being made, and would continue to be made, added Mr. Watts. A matter of universal interest to farmers on the Great Southern was that of holding wool appraisements at Albany instead of Fremantle, in order to save railway freight. In spite of continued representations to the departments concerned, 16 telegrams to the Central Wool Committee and solid support from the Premier, Mr. Willcock, he had received advice that Fremantle was the only place in this State where appraisements would be held. In spite of this, with his colleagues in Parliament, he would still continue to press for Albany appraisements.
He joined with Mr. Coverley in congratulating the society on its show and expressing thanks for the excellent hospitality extended. Seconding the vote of thanks, Mr. C. H. Wittenoom M.L.C., expressed disappointment at the lack of entries in the fat Iamb section. Urging farmers to produce export lambs without fear of quotas, he said that the numbers received at the “freezers” this season had been disappointing. He hoped any farmers with young, sappy surplus lambs would send them along without delay.
Speaking in support the Hon. H. V. Piesse M.L.C. observed that prices paid had caused a shortage of lambs at the freezers, but no doubt the position would improve. The British Government had taken over every available carcass and there was no fear of any surplus on the market. A boat was due in at Fremantle with accommodation for 40.000 lambs, and only 20,000 were on hand to fill it. He hoped any farmers with fat lambs available would send them on without delay.
Congratulating the society on its display, Mr. Piesse said the district shop window looked very bright. The show, he considered, was one of the best on record.
