A disease among the wheat crops in the Blacltbridgc district of the Asliburton County is reported to be assuming alarming proportions. Mr. C. Bramgnn, Fields Instructor stationed at Ashburlon, will visit Ashburton at an early dato to make investigations. The pest, it is staled, cats the. straw through between tho first and second knot, about two to three inches from the ground. The wheat most affected is the solid straw Tuscan. There is considerable stir amongst the farmers in the Wnitahuna district, Otago,regarding the Rabbit Nuisanco Act passed recently, and much comment onent (he power given lo the rabbit inspector. It is contended that such power will tend only to stir up trouble unless great skill and discretion are exercised by tho inspectors. The fact that rabbits aro more numerous this summer than for ninny years piist makes the coming of tho "now power" more objectionable to the farmer. Despite the high price paid for skins , during the past winter sinu liii> prices still offering it is almost impossible to procure labour to destroy tMi pest, ar.d farmers arp forced to wuteli the. destruction of their sprlng sowing while they arc making provision for winter feed.-. The position is difiicuH. and (hero' is jiobody more anxious I han thn farmer to find « remedy for his troubles. Noxious wends, rabbits, mid farm labour aro subjects that make the farmer wrathful, anil prood prices for his products do not. in his opinion, compensate him for the worries which ho is enduring. Growth of nil kinds is very backward, and although grass is plentiful on tho low levels tho position is unsatisfactory on tho higher country. '
