Both Ends Lucky.
Two country women were discussing the awards at the Auckland Show. “Do you know,” said one, “that at one country show I entered a jam roll, and it was too long for the show case. The steward in charge cut the roll in half, and, would you believe it, one half was awarded first prize and the other end was highly commended.” Rock Oyster Season. There are good prospects for the rock oyster season which is expected to start this year about June 1, states the Auckland Herald. It is anticipated that about the same quantity will be marketed by the Fisheries Department as was sold last year, when the total was 5782 sacks. From the appearance of the oyster beds there seems little likelihood of any falling off in the annual figures over the next six years.
