WAIRARAPA CROPS AND PASTURES.
Going through the each Taratahi district a few 'days ago (says our travelling correspondent) I .was particularly pleased to'see the remarkable growth of everything. Talk about grass. It was wonderful; and what was more wonderful still, a farmer told mo he had so much grass now that ho was going to "try" to get cows in t-o graze, .as feed was actually going to waste; and this within a fow miles of"Carterton, where some farmors were at their, wits' end to know where to send their cows. Thero are also somo very good breadths of turnips in each Tdratahi, wliich liavo hiade excellent bulbs. These will come in Vfry handy later on, as I have not yet seen many sheetf on turnips. Thero has been such a .wealth of other feed that these are not likely to be drawn upon for some time yet. It is also remarkable how little water is running in the creeks. There has been no rain yet to set the springs going, showing how very dry the ground had become; paddocks 'are stilj dry underfoot.
