Whangaruru’s Bejoked Water Carrier
Yoked like the water-rcarriers of the East, but with the empty benzine tins of civilisation as the containers, a Whangaruru farmer is carrying water for domestic use from the nearest remaining source, three miles away. Entering the fourth week of dry weather, Northland is bearing an unaccustomed parched appearance. Overcast skies this afternoon give promise of rain next week. It is urgently needed.
