Youthful Farmer.

Garbed in the orthodox blue denim overalls, brand new, and a pair of gumboots, also immaculately clean, a six-year-old girl whose flaxen hair hardly reached to the shoulders of the animal she was leading, proudly played her part yesterday when nine young heifer calves paraded before the judge at the Jersey show at New Plymouth. The manner in which the calf followed the child, responding to her lightest touch, showed that there was a good understanding between them that had not been gained in a day but was evidently the result of close and friendly association. The young animal, too, held its head up as though proud of its young mistress and certainly lost no points through failure to show itself at its best. It was a proud young lady who saw her charge singled out by the judge for a v.h.c. position. Furnishing a return of land is an annual duty imposed by law upon all landowners who at noon on March 31 hold land of an unimproved value according to the Government valuation in excess of £5OO. The unimproved, value is the value of the land exclusive of buildings, fencing and other improvements. The form of return has been made as simple as it is possible to make it. „ Forms are obtainable at all post offices,
