WAREPA.
March 4.—The weather still continues dry. The little rain than fell last week has all dried up, and the country is again presenting a burnt-up appearance. The turnips and rape crops are badly in need of a good heavy fall of rain.
Harvest is getting general. A good deal of the crops are in the stook, but no heavy crops are to _be seen this year, neither autumn or winter sown. Some forward' sales of chaff have been already made at high figures. A New Mill.—Our enterprising millowners have purchased a new mill and a seven horse power traction engine. They are using their present engine for general carting, having built two large trucks, each to carry five or six tons. They have iust finished carting green flax to the Puerua.

Ayson's three daughters have all entered the teaching profession; one is teaching afc Balclutha and another at Eoraahapa.
