From Our Own Correspondent. Mr. Fred. Viles presided over a wellattended meeting of the Apiti Young Farmers’ Club on Monday evening. Two members were nominated from the club and their names will go forward to the Manawatu committee for consideration when the stock judging team is being selected to attend the Royal Show at Invercargill next month. Mr. Chamberlain, of the Department of Agriculture, Palmerston North, was the speaker for the evening with an interesting lecture on disease and pests in crops. Mr. Chamberlain was accorded a vote of thanks. The committee served supper. Messrs. W. McKay (chairman), J. ROsborne, and Mesdames S. H. White and G. M. Stanley met on Tuesday evening to arrange a schedule for the District High School dinner on December 8. A tentative programme was drawn up and this will be presented to a combined meeting of the rural science and home science committees next week. It is hoped also that definite arrangements will by then liavc been made for a speaker for the occasion. At the conclusion of the business Mrs. Stanley entertained the subcommittee to supper. Personal Private Robert Prince while on weekend leave from Trentham camp visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Prince. Private S. Plumley, who is on -sick leave, convalescing after influenza, visited Mr. and Mrs. L. Paterson, of Apiti, before returning to Trentham camp. Mrs. W. H. Watson’s many friends are happy to know that she is making such a good recovery from her recent illness.
