DUST STORM
TARANAKI VISITED. (Per United Press Association.) Hawera, October 9. Yesterday the sky in South Taranaki was heavily overcast, necessitating the use of artificial light indoors. Sunlight which struggled through the clouds had the effect of casting a golden brown light, giving rise to the suggestion that the Australian dust storm had found its way here. This morning after the night’s rain there was a deposit of reddish brown dust on grass, houses and other objects. A local farmer states that the dust resembles that accompanying a recent importation of Australian potatoes.
