METHVEN
I Snow is still lying on the ground at \ ■ Methven in depths varying from two :to inches, and very sharp frosts i are being experienced at night. Farmers' teams still remain idle as far as , ; ploughing and the cultivation of tho ! soil is concerned. The general farm hands are mostly engaged gorae cutting and carting straw and hay out to the stock in the paddocks. Farmere |
say that this delay in getting on with the work will mean a very busy time and long hours for bott men and horses when the snow disappears. Stock of all kinds are showing signs the recent severe weather. Farmers will bo pleased indeed when the fina spring days como and when the paddocks assume their spring garb.
