DROUGHT THREATENED.
RAIN BADLY NEEDED. By Telegraph.—Preen Association. PALMERSTON NORTH, April 4. Mr J. W. Deem, Director of the Fields Division of the Department of Agriculture, who has just returned from an extensive tour of the North Auckland, Waikato and Taranaki districts, states that rain is badly needed throughout the whole country. March was the driest for many years, in some districts for over 50 years. DUST STORM NOT FEARED. By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, April 4. Dr Kidson does not anticipate that the dust storm reported from Central Australia, will reach New Zealand, as the winds are not so strong as they were in October, 1928, and November, 1929.
