Speaking to ft Timaru Post reporter, a South Canterbury farmer said that the 1*928-29 season bad been 0110 of the best experienced by dairy fanners for many years. There had been an abundant supply of fetiQ, and tho cattle were in wonderful condition. Good prices had been obtained for wool, and there was every promise of an excellent harvest. If this materialised, the Dominion should be well round the corner of economic depression. The back of the haymaking is broken and only a few odd lots remain to be gathered in (writes a Matamala correspondent.) Crops have been luxurious and farmers will face tho coming winter with no anxiety as to shortage of food. .Farmers' remarks make pleasant hearing. One says, "We are absolutely sick of stacking hay": another, "I offered 30 acres of .rva/.in"- for nothing and nobody wanted it; "yet another, "With 28 years' colonial, besides English experience, I hud never seen anything like the growth in evidence this season in Matamata." s)
