FARM AND GARDEN.
Fruit-growing in Otago this season is expected to reach a record standard as regards quantity I and quality and commercial value. ) The trade has .been very brisk since the opening of the season, and as far as stone fruits are concerned representative dealers state that the orchards of Alexandra and Clyde hold the markets easily in everything that makes fruit acceptable and profitable. It is thought that the growers there must be doing remarkably well. Men who know something of of the actual conditions prevailing in the dairying industry are of the opinion that many of the dairymen of the Dominion are jeopardising their own prosperity by neglecting to maintain a high standard of cleanliness. It is stated authoritatively (says the Dunedin Star) that much improvement is required in the South Island, and the opinion is expressed that more attention should be given by the State to the need of compelling dairymen to avoid even a suspicion of using dirty utensils and plant.
