A storm of several days’ duration in Central Otago coused considerable damage. It was felt over a wide area, and has blighted the bright hopes held by orchardisfs who were looking forward to an early and more than ordinary prosperous fruit season. The gales were accompanied by showers of rain and hail, and up in the southern portion of Central Otago, the orchards that were brought quickly under bloom, by a fine winter and an exceptionally mild springtime, have been devastated. The violent hailstorms and the sharp cold wind have stripped the trees of their blossom and, in many cases, of their leaves also.
