“Farmer George” started the show ball rolling


IC-EXT year will see the Hodder Valley Show out of its teen- age days, but this attractive Bowland exhibition is a mere youngster compared with other shows in the country.


Towards the end of the 18th century, when George III, “Farmer George” , was In power, a new and spectacu­


lar interest was taken in farming. The King himself was a keen countryman, and o f t e n contributed t o Young’s monthly publica­


tion “Annals of Agriculture” started in 1784.


Many politicians of the day were landowners, and al] shared in the zeal and were excited by farming topics and farming experiments.


One of the results was the founding of the Board of


Agriculture by Pitt in 1793. The Board was preceded by the birth of a number of local associations in differ­ ent parts of the country.


Among the earliest and most important were the Bath and West England Society, founded in 1777, the High­ land Society in 1784 and the Smithfield Club in 1798. Before the end of the cent­


ury many of the counties had formed organisations of one sort or another for the promotion of the art and craft of agriculture.


The chief activity of the larger societies was the


holding of an annual agri­ cultural show. The Board of Agriculture held the first national show in 1821, but shortly after that time the country was economically depressed and the Board passed out of existence.


For a long time no progress was made on the agricul­ tural scene, but then, in 1838 the Royal Agricultural Soci­ ety was formed. It received its charter two years later.


From this year the rise of modern scientific farming dates, and it is to the society that many agricul­ tural shows owe their popu­ larity.


FIRST ROYAL


The first show under its aus­ pices was held at Oxford, when there were six classes for cattle, three for sheep, one for horses and one for pigs. The section for im­ plements was considerable, and prizes were given for essays on agricultural sub­ jects, for skill in ploughing and for the best farm in Oxfordshire.


Since that day the scope of this show has increased en­


ormously, and it is a con­ stant source of wonderment to overseas visitors that this country, so predominantly


industrial, should have agri­ cultural shows superior to any in the world.


The great additions to the scope of the agricultural shows were made not only


Local wheelers at the docks


AT first the outlook appeared ■ most unpromising on Sunday,


and we hadn't even reached Edls- ford Bridge before having to cape up. However, the rain cleared just as we entered the Trough of Bow­ land, where the heather was at its best, mottling the moors with purple and adding a hrave touch of colour to what would have been a rather dull scene on such a day.


The roads were still wet as wo


swept down Blaze Moss, so due caution was paid to the many bends before the road levelled out and led us through Abbeystcad to Dolphinholme, where we branched off towards Garstang for lunch. We had intended heading still further north during the after­ noon. but as our departure was delayed by a puncture and a faulty gear cable we decided to visit nearby Glasson Dock instead.


Half-an-hour's easy pedalling,


and we were there, and for the next hour we explored the tiny port, and watched numerous fishermen who had taken, up nil the strategic points round the dock walls and were giving an excellent display of the limitless patience with which these gentlemen seem to be gifted.


Rather more actively engaged


were the boat owners, all of whom seemed to be busy with chisels, saws and hammers, getting their vessels ready for the winter or perhaps repairing the ravages of


our summer weather. There Is an endless fascination


In such a place, and there is always the feeling that something special will happen as soon ns one’s back is turned, but with 20 miles between us and our next halt we decided not to extend our stay, and returning to Garstang managed to get across the main road and headed into the country lanes leading to Blcasdale.

However, the remains of our


day’s sandwiches and huge mugs of steaming tea worked the usual wonders, and we hnd no difficulty in making the homeward run through Chipping and so back to Clitheroe.

with the idea of promoting agricultural science, but also to increase the spectacular attractions, and so provide funds for the proper objects of the society.


The modern Royal show caters for every aspect of the farming scene, with pro­


gress and quality as the key­ notes, and lectures and de­ monstrations are given at intervals.


Many local shows are compar­ able with the “Royal,” par­ ticularly the Lancashire and the Yorkshire. These vast exhibitions play their part in promoting British agri­ culture, for to them come large numbers of overseas agriculturists and buyers.


On a smaller and much more local scale, this is repeated at such shows as Clitheroe and the Hodder Valley.


THE SPECTACLE


Strangers, who otherwise would probably not have come into the district, are attracted by the spectacle of a show and, as the district’s finest stock is always on view, they leave with a good impression of the area.


The history of the shows was a history of progress until the years of depression in agriculture, following the great prosperity of 1918 and 1919, and a movement for the amalgamation of local


and county shows began as a result of the unsatisfact­ ory agricultural conditions and a shrinking of many farmers and landowners from the expense of exhibit­ ing.


In this district, recent years have seen the death of sev­ eral fine shows, notably Gis- burn, Bolton-by-Bowland, Bashall Eaves and Brows­ holme, and Whalley.


PENDULUM SWINGS


Recent years, however, have seen another swing of the pendulum. More and more townspeople are attracted to country life, there is a great influx of holiday-makers at weekends, and more people are building homes in the rural areas.


It naturally follows that folks who live in the countryside, or at any rate spend a great deal of their time there, will take an interest in agricul­ ture and farm stock.


The attendance at any local show now contains a large number of townspeople not interested in stock so much as in the event as a whole. They like the sleepy rural atmosphere, and it is due largely to the influx of the townspeople that agricul­ tural shows can speak of better bank balances and larger attendances.


To draw the crowds, shows have adapted themselves to changing times and chang­ ing tastes. Some have de­


generated into vast, un­ wieldy, spectacles, little bet­ ter than a fun fair, while others have incorporated


more modest changes.


At Clitheroe and Slaidburn we are fortunate to have true countrymen’s shows, shows with no gimmicks, and this is particularly true of the Hodder Valley show, where no concession has been made to popular demands.


It reflects great credit on the organisation behind both


these fine exhibitions that they can draw the crowds without recourse to side­ shows and sensationalism.


They cannot fail to improve relations between the far­ mer and his town-dwelling counterpart, and they can­ not fail to be good for agri­ culture as a whole.
