AUROA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) FARM NOTES. The sudden transition to wintry conditions is having its effect upon the milk yield and consequent production of the dairy factories. From now on it is only to be expected that the cry will be “Two cheeses less to-day,” and so forth. The “dry spell” of the late summer has considerably affected the mangold crop, but with any sort of luck the farmers expect their feed to hold out through the w’inter months. THE SOCCER CLUB. This club is very active at present and its members intend putting in two teams for the Alanaia tournament if sufficient players are available. To keep their finances in a healthy condition they intend holding a series of euchre parties, beginning from Tliurs--day. BOWLING. During the week-end two strong rinks from the West. End Club, New Plymouth, visited the Auroa green to play a friendly match with the local bowlers. The results of the games wore as follows: Kilpatrick (Auroa) If* v. Honeyfield (West End) HI; Barlow (Auroa) 20 v. Billing 27; Johnstone (Auroa) U> v. Petty IS; Barlow 15 v. Billing 20. All the games excepting one were well contested and the visitors were highly pleased with t.hoir reception and the playing of the green. One local rink skipped by Air. D. Barlow' intends competing at the Hawera. tournament. CHURCH AFFAIRS. The Auroa congregation of the Alethodist Church eclipsed all records at the harvest festival for their sale of produce. Mr. Bennett made a great success of auctioneering the produce, netting about £35 towards the church funds.
