STANTHORPE AGRICULTURAL, PASTORAL, AND MINING 
SOCIETY. 
Tire show of the Stanthorpe Agricultural, Horticultural, and Mining Society 
was held on the 17th and 18th February, and was visited by a large number of 
persons. Stanthorpe has long been celebrated for its fruitgrowing capabilities, 
and, as might have been expected, the show of fruit was large, and the exhibits 
of apples, peaches, quinces, grapes, blackberries, almonds, olives, &c., were of 
splendid quality, and elicited the remark from the late Minister for Agriculture, 
Mr. Thynne, that he had seen no such excellent exhibit of fruit in Queensland, 
except that staged at the last Intercolonial Fruitgrowers’ Conference in 
Brisbane. The fruit fly, fortunately, has not been greatly in evidence in the 
district. Farm produce, including cheese, butter, hams, bacon, &c., were well 
represented, as was also garden produce, of which there was a fine display. 
There were five entries for the Agricultural Department’s prize for the best 
milking cow, but we have not had any detailed account of the competition as yet.
