BENEFICIAL RAIN.
PASTURES RESPONDING* Reports from Opotiki indicate that the decrease in butterfat production which has been evident from the end of November, when the peak was reached, has been definitely arrested by the splendid rains which fell on Monday and Wednesday nights, when over 2in of rain was registered, making over Sin this month. The grass and crops are responding Wonderfully, particularly lucerne and maize. Heavy rain fell at Wliakatane on Wednesday night. The country is looking extremely well after the good soaking of last week-end, and tne outlook for the autumn in this district is more promising.
