"It's ridiculous to atate that the fartacr* nre being ruiucd by the drought,"' said; t Wairarapadrover of thirty to our correspondent tho. other day. .'"Thero is certainly an amount of. dryness about tho place, but up in the Bush Districts- from Kopuaranga -to Dannevirke, there ,i» ian abundance of green feed,- notwithstanding the areas which jiavo been swept by fire. Tho • big farmers all over tho Wairarapa are not boing pushod to any extent, and: very, little . loss has .been"' incurred by anybody in. tho sheep line. I can. remember:;irhen' farmers > were very well satisfied' to- rcceive 7s. per head for their- fat stock, and if; after the ; good seasons our farmers cannot stand a.tem- .. porary hardship, "i't must' Ishow. that' thej have, not,, been rui'iiiing. their ' business,, op , sound lines." •. .
