KUROW NOTES.
KUROW, March 1. 5 The Kurow district has just experienced another wet spell of weather. It has come in good time to bring away a good autumn growth, and already the hills are wearing quite a green aspect. The wet spell has stopped harvesting in the meantime, but farmers do not mind that, as North Otago rarely gets too much rain. The thrashing mills are working in the Otekaiko and Otiake districts, but the mill in Hakataramea Valley has been, prevented from starting on account of inability to obtain the necessary supplies of coal, but the owners hope to be able to start soon. A large number of people from the towns and. elsewhere have come ,to this district lately in search of rabbits. An .ncroawing number of tourists have been going to Mount Cook and Queenstown through Kurow. Many seem to prefer this route to the Fair lie. one.
During the last few weeks a very large amount of stone fruit has been railed from Otiake; the apricot trees nave been especially prolific. From what one hears, there is l bkely to be a much larger area sown in wheat in the Hakataramea and Otiake districts this year.
