Severe frost damage has resulted in the Manawatu during the past few weeks. Market gardeners in and around Foxton have been heavy losers as a result. Acres of peas which would have been ready for the Wellington market within a few days are now rotting on the ground. Carriers have also been affected by loss of loads. Whitebait is being caught in considerable quantities in the Manawatu River at present. The season has been a particularly bad one up until now, very little 7)811 being caught. The season is now almost over. Subscriptions are invited from inhabitants of Arabia for State purposes, 2Jd. being the lowest sum. Gifts of £1 will earn the title of “Patriot”; of £l/10/-. “Active Patriot”: of £2, “Great Patriot’; and £4, “Super-Patriot.”
