call number allotted by tbe Government inspector is 4ZR, and the station will be on the air from 8 to 10 on Thursday nights and 10 to 12 on Sunday mornings. Later on it is anticipated that the station may widen the scope of its activities. |
THE WEATHER. | To-day the weather executed one of those lightning - changes for which the New Zealand climate is famous. The* morning was bright and sunny, but at mid-day changed to gloomy skies, and a penetrating drizzle of rain, with a rapidly , falling barometer. I FARMERS BUSY. .) Farmers throughout the district, helped by • the favourable weather, are busy threshing, chaffcutting, and in many cases ploughing. Others are cutting gorse and rabbiting where the pest exists in numbers. The depression has not apparently affected the seasonal work on farms, which, if anything, seems to be* more thorough, and consistent than usual.
