MOKORETA NOTES
t Prom Our Own Correspondent). The (list riit at present is looking at its best. with plenty of feed everywhere, and with an abundant promise of good winter feed in the turnip crop- Any traveller coming through fiom 'be ern District cannot help but be struck with Hu- fresh grass seen every where. Tli" crops ft re limited to oat-, as wheat is not a payable crop in this part. taking tbe oats over the whole district T do not think they can be compared to last year, being mostly on the light side. .Mr McKwan, of ‘.’aide, has a nice crop of black oats, and .Mr Murray, at tiie head of the Valley, will also have a splendid crop of Dun oats. The residents are expecting the Mon. Mr l-'rascr. Minister of Public Works, and members of Parliament to visit them at an early dale, with a view of inquiring into tit* - proposed railway through the Valley. There is no doubt that the district needs hotter communication. as the iraflic on tin* roads is heavier than on any road in Southland. It takes over f.'OU'a year o( rates to keep the road in repair without doing anv new work. .Messrs Mcßae Pros, have some of their autumn oats in stook. and I learn Hint it is much lighter than last year.
