RURAL BAKINGS: A remit from Ekctalmna which came before the Wairarapa provincial y c±ccutivc of the Farmers’ Union this week asked for an alteration in winter school holidays to nil it the convenience of dairy fanners who wished to take tlioir holiday with their children. It was agreed Hint the first term holidays for country schools should be allowed in the middle of June as being more convenient.
Rycl-and breeders "continue to meet with an exceptional inquiry from Australia for surplus ewes from their flocks, but. few are available, says an exchange. Last year nearly 200 flock rams of this breed were exported to New South Wales, and a similar number have already been booked for export to the same State this coining season. This will result in a scarcity for Iccal supply, a position which occurred last year. Ewes of this breed are stated to be tinprocurable from Australian flocks, hence the demand for ewes from New Zealand.
