At the conclusion of the service the Last Post was sounded. Messrs P. Best, Higgins, and. Major Franklyii, were present, • representing the Waiirea County Council and Hospital Board respectively. Mr and Mrsv E. S. Hoult,. and family have the sincere sympathy of'a wide circle of. friends in their, sad ".and dis T tressing bereavement. • WEATHER AND .CROP's! The dry. hot 'weather "of the; last month has left its mark on the country, while most • desirable' for - harvesting operations, pastoralists, orchardist's and hop-growers would. have..been glad of a good downpour of rain. ; The springs are getting low, and the stock are. not doing as well as could b.e desired. Turnip and rape crops are-also suffering. Hoppicking is now in. full swing, but pickers are not' too plentiful. - It is rather too early to estimate the, quantity, but, <>iven favourable conditions for harvesting, the quality should be excellent.
