PALMERSTON NOTES
(From Our Own Correspondent.) PALMERSTON, March 5. Mr G. B. M'Leod, secretary of the Palmerston Lawn Tennis Club and an enthusiastic member 'of the Palmerston Rugby Football Club, left > for Dunedin to-day to continue his studies in agricultural science at the Otago University. FARMING CONDITIONS.
Harvesting operations are in full swing, crop-cutting being well advanced. In spite of very unfavourable weather, threshing in the stook has commenced, although most farmers are stacking their oat and wheat crops. The local mills are very busy in the district, and some good yields have been threshed. The broken, showery weather hag benefited root crops and pastures, and the latter especially are looking well in most parts of the district, particularly on the flats. A number of lambs are being crutched and dipped at present, and general dipping will soon be in full swing. Dairy cows are falling off in their milk yield, owing to the cold and changeable weather.
