Tax On Amusements Proposed The principle of levying a tax of Id in every shilling on all amusements run as commercial undertakings, the tax to be applied to the general patriotic fund, was favoured unanimously by the Ashburton Patriotic Committee last evening, when the proposal was brought forward by Mr S. W. Gower. It was decided to make representations to the Government, and to ask for support from all patriotic councils and committees. Growing Pumpkins for Seed A question was placed before the executive of the Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture by*Mr C. W. Corner, Napier, as to variation when varieties of pumpkins are grown together. A reply from the director of the horticulture division to the executive states that when pumpkin gourds are grown for seed purposes, half a mile or more should intervene between varieties.
