"SANDON" OR "SANSON."

The above quotation has been recalled by a recent occurrence of interest to many residents in Sandon district.

For some years Messrs Barraud and Abraham have been supplying large quantities of seeds to a client who has a large property a long way from here. They were never able, however, to persuade him to use Sandon rye grass seed, and feeling sure that if he once saw the Sandon country and realised how perfectly suitable that land is for rye grass nis objections to using the seed woqld be overcome, they persuaded him to come to Palmers ton, and took nim out to see some of the farms whenee they regularly get a supply.' Time did not permit taking him to all the many growers whose seed they handle, but the few visited were quite enough—their friend was delighted with the country—they booked his order, and he said: "In the future I shall always sow Sandon grown rye. This trip has been an eye-opener to me; I had an idea the Sandon rye grass came oft' sandy country. ' It would seem therefore that there is a good deal in a name, ami that "Sanson" from some point of view is better than "Sandon."
