WAIKAKA.
(From our own Correspondent.)
The settlers interested in the welfare of the school here have offered to plough the school glebe in order to have the ground ready for seed, should the committee succeed in getting it fenced in time, which they will no doubt manage in some way. One team has already put in a day's ploughing ; it having been agreed that each should give a day when most convenient. Of course this is for the teacher's benefit.
I hear the parties prospecting on the road from Waikaka to Switzers, about ten miles from the former, have metjwith most encouraging results, and are preparing to give the ground a thorough, trial. Although some good prospects hare been obtained, it will take some time to ascertain the true nature of the ground. I hope to be able in my next to give you a more detailed account of the work going on.
Ploughing is pretty general about here now, but it is to be feared if this frost continue much longer work will be considerably interfered with. Waikaka, June 16th, 1884.
