Awahou

From Our Own Correspondent. ill-, and Mrs. F. Short and family, residents of Awahou South for a number of years, have left the district and are now residing- at Fitzherbert East. Mrs. White, of Porangahau, and her small daughter Rae, are the guests of Mrs. White's mother, Mrs. T. Harper, of No. 2 line, Awahau North. Miss Beth Harper, of Palmerston North, who has been visiting her grandmother, Airs. T. Harper, of No. 2 line, has now returned home. Miss Lilian Alontgomery has returned to Napier after a short visit to her home at Raumai. Most farmers are still busily engaged with haymaking operations and although dark clouds loom on the horizon every evening the rain that usually fancies making its presence felt at haymaking time, is still holding off. The boisterous winds that we are being treated to, however, are making conditions anything but pleasant. It is distressing to note tlio severe ravages made on the young pheasants this year by stoats, weasels’ and other rodents. These beautiful birds, which are protected in the Awahou district, have until lately been increasing rapidly and many of them are quite tame.
