ROTO-O-RANGI.
(Own Correspondent.)
This district suffered very severely from the frost on March ioth. All the maize, pumpkins, and late potatoes were cut to the ground. The cows are still keeping up a good supply of milk, and the continued showery weather has the effect of keeping the grass fresh. The turnip crops are as yet free from blight, and one crop of 25 acres—that of Mr A. Cameron — is one of the best alWound crops of swedes I have ever seen. Many other crops are also looking splendid. The Pukekura Road Board has not yet commenced work on the creamery road. If this work is not soon done, and the weather continues to be wet, this portion of the road will be impassable. Mrs W. H. Mackereth and child left by Monday's Sydney boat on a visit to her people in the Old Country.
