E. C. Pettett, 1st in Division 7. — Tliis competitor ovms a small farm 

 of 40 acres at Warra Warra, about 8 miles from Glenorcliy. He is an 

 apiarist, and lias planted trees for the competition that produce pollen 

 and honey for his bees. Hitherto he has been compelled to move his 

 bee-hives as pollen or honey became scarce, but says that now he can 

 depend on a supply of both from his plantings. The plantation acts as 

 a breakwind and shelter, and is decidedly ornamental also. Gums of 

 various species, E. Calophylla, ficifolia. cornuta, corynocalyx, &c., have 

 all made very fine growth, as indeed have all the trees on the place. 

 Acacias of several kinds are thriving equally with the eucalypts, viz., 

 A. decurrens, A. norynalis, A. Baileyana, A. cultriformis, and others 

 doing well, but the severe frost experienced at times is too much for 

 Acacia elata, which has been cut back repeatedly. Tagosaste, broom,, 

 and other bee-feeding plants have also grown well. 



I have to say, in conclusion, that the arrangement of the competitors 

 in the various divisions was made with a thorough knowledge of the 

 conditions of the various parts of the State. After fully considering 

 the matter on the ground, I know of no single instance where a 

 competitor should have been placed in a different division to that 

 allotted to him or her."
