JOTTINGS FOR FARMERS.
Some indication of tho nature of the drought which has been experienced this season in South Otago and portions of Southland has been furnished to the ochool Commissioners in a number of applications which havo been received from tenants of education reserves in those districts asking for assistance by remission of rent. The commis-iouers (says the "Otago Daily Times") have resolved to personally visit the Wendonside district in connection with those applications.
The Minister of Agriculture is considering a proposal to meet the difficulties which the makers of private dairy butter are experiencing in preventing their butter containing an excess of moisture. It has been suggested by the Director of the Dairy Produce Division that a depot should bo established at one or more of the shipping ports, through which makers of dairy butter would have the privilege of sending their produce. At such a depot it would be testod beforo shipment, and in some cases where any excess of moisture in the butter was detected, it could be re-marked and repacked before being shipped for a small charge estimated at sixpence per box.
