LAWRENCE NOTES. (Thou Oor Owx Correspondent,) LAWRENCE, January 19. THE WEATHER. Real holiday weather has been experienced here since the New Year, and warm and sunny conditions have prevailed daily. This distract, however, soon shows the effect of hot weather, and a good rain would be welcomed. To date only ,46in of rain has fallen for the present month. The rainfall foe 1925 was 28.095 in, and for 1924 21.04 in. THE TOURIST TRAFFIC. The tourist traffic to this district, during the holiday season was quite equal to that of former years. The publicity; activities of the Progressive League in the direction of advertising helped in the encouragement of people to visit Lawrence. It has Veen quite, a surprise, considering the great attraction of the Exhibition, that so many visitors have been here. Visitors are lavish in their praise of the district as a holiday resort, and an excursion from Dunedin to Lawrence in the immediate future is likely to take place. THE FARMING OUTLOOK. The dairy sheep farmers up to the present have had a good season, although it was late in starting. Splendid feed, in fact the best for years, was grown, and it is doubtful if this district for this time of the year ever looked better. The shearing season is practically over, but in the weight, texture, and quality the wool is not so good as in former years, this being attributed to the six weeks’ wet weather in the beginning of the season.
