FEILDING MATTERS.
[Br Telegbafh. — Special to The Post.] FEILDING, This Day. In tho Kimbolton district the vegetable gardens were seriously affected by the recent frost. The potato and tomato plants are quite black in most of the gardens, and other vegetables are also withered or nipped off. Orchards have suffered from tho wind and the usually heavy crop of splendid fruit in the district will be wanting this year. Fortu- i nately the grain and root crops have done very well. Bush fire 3 are still smouldering in the Pakihikura and Waituna districts, but though the danger of spreading is not co great as it was, still the farmers and settlers need to exercise care for the .protection of their fences, etc. Farmers in the Bunnythorpe district are beginning to wonder what their cows will live on next winter if we get no rain. As for grass there will be none, and although there is a good deal of hay saved, still it would not last long without the grass.
