Abkil 27.— The committee of the Vincent County Horticultural Society has appointed Mr B. S. Gilkison as the society's dclae&te to tho Fruitgrr.worß' Conf -reuoe' to be held' at Wellington on May 4. The Horticultural Soci«fcy could not have selected another gentlf-m .n having such a practical knowledge of the requirements ofthia district as Mr Gilkison has>, and the- very fhet of the local fruitgrowers and those in+erested in the industry being, hiphly pleased at' Mr Gilkißon's appoiniineut as delegate goes to-Bhow that' the committee of The Horticultu.al Society acted wisely in their- s- lection of a repre-.enta«ive at the Fruit grower*' Conference. Mr' ilkison'spoßitiola in the district as proprietor and editor of the Dunfltan Times affords him eyeiy opportunity of' studying the requirements of an extensiv* fruitgrowing district such- as- this is, and' I am confident his presence at the conference will be appreciated by the other delegates from Central Otago: mining. 1 Mr Gordon, our late inspector of mines, but now gen*>wl manager" to the Anglo-Oon-tinental Gold-mining Syndicate,, was in Clyde daring Sunday, and stayed here duriiuc Sunday, night: tt is thought tliat Mr Gordon's' vi-it to Central Otago is for the purpose of inspecting, some reefing properties in the Macetown dicttict.
