PUKETARATA.
The pastures are beautiful and refreshed after the last rain and the whole district is looking remarkably '’•'•l' in all kinds of crops. T '*'• cows have never looked so vi,i and the supply to
the local creamery is nearly touching 1800 gallons daily, not including the home separators who supply the same Company.
Maize and other green crops for autumn feeding are in, and farmers are busy working up their turnip land. The hay crops will be heavy and the labour problem will have to be faced. The workers’ homes in the country on the ten-acre system has been considered by the local branch of the Farmers’ Union and every endeavour will be made to induce the Government to introduce the system to this locality. On Thursday, while Mr Budge was driving one of his young bulls from the herd back into another paddock it turned and savagely attacked the horse and rider, in the face of the stock whip. After being injured, the horse reared and threw his rider who is suffering from shock and a fractured rib.
