On the Longbeach estate oata have already bean sown for feeding off purposes in spring and to answer for early crops. Practically no threshing has been done on the estate, Mr Grigg wisely contending that with the condition in which the greater part of the crops were put in the stack, threshing for ut least another month or even more would not be prudent. A social was held last evening in the Orange Hall, a few friends taking the opportunity of saying good-bye to Mr A. Watson, who is leaving on a trip to America. Mr Cambridge, on behalf of the ladies of Bright Hour Entertainers, presented Mr Watson with a dressing case. Speeches were made by Mr Schwartz arid Mr Stock, junr., after which Mr Watson responded.
