Inquiries made from the potato growers in Rosobank Road, Avondalc, a district largely devoted to tho .production of this tuber," shows, says the Auckland "Herald" 'of Friday, "that tho frost experienced on Sunday last will havo a. very serious effect on their crops. In a number of cases tho crops are totally destroyed, and in all the farms on the left side of the road more than half the potatoes will bo sacrificed; A curious circumstance is that in the farms on the right-hand side of the road the potatoes practically escaped injury. Dairy farmers must bavo strong, serviceable, and easily-cleaned cans. Victor is tho name of tho can that suits every requirement, and it pays handsomely to uso these cans and no others. Every lid will fit every can. Send for a catalogue to Albert J. Parton, Carterton. * A correspondent of the "Farmers' Advocate." who ha.s just been oyer nearly the whole of tho southern end of. the Wellington province, fays' ho has never seen the country looking better than it ia at nreccat.
