There is an impression abroad that there, will not be as^much wheat sown as usual; certainly not as much as last season (writes "AgricolA," South Island correspondent of the Fanners' Union Advocate). Well, there is a good deal of preparation and sowing going on, and in the wheat growing districts a considerable area will be drilled if the weather continues good. I think^ however, that big growers will not "sow their I customary^ areas. They are, I fancy, drawing in their horns very considerably. The reason is not far to seek. Labour is scarce now, and if the war continues it will become harder to get.: Teamsters seem the most difficult to procure. The country districts in my part of the world are recruiting extremely well, and the effect of it _is sure to be felt 'severely in the labour market later on. ... I think that small I farmers will put in very nearly their • usual quantity of wheat. They can I manage to deal with a certain area without a great deal of outside help, and. when some help is required, something in the- way of co-operation will be effected. This alludes more particularly to harvest time, especially the stacking. There are many farmers and farmers' sons who are putting in from twelve to fourteen hours day, and they would do more if there were more daylight to be had. There is no need to bring in a Daylight-saving Bill, or a Timedefinitio:i Bill, as far as the farming portion of the community is concerned." Poaching has been rife during'the past j summer (rt">orts the Eketahuna commit-, tee of the .'-■ *: mfitisation Society).

Court. One poaching case is now being enquired into by the police. . The war has not affected the up-to-date selection of soft and hard felt hats obtainable at Geo. Fowlds, Ltd., Mannersstreet.
