Weather and Dairying. .■ Till the recent rains there had hecn •}Ule growth since the last hard frost, zjmd things were beginning to look serious for the farmers. It is hoped that now the milk supply will show increase, though the cold winds sre doing much to minimise the beneficial effect of the raiu.

Road Work. Mr R. Turpin, foreman of the roads, has taken full advantage of the weeks of dry weather, and has had a full gang at work, both in the quarry and on the roads. The long-looked for tar-sealing from Platt’s • corner to Tauwhare is in full swing, and when finished will prove a great boon to all travellers. The Schoof. School basket-ball has given place to tennis, and it is hoped to arrange outside matches later in the season. The epidemic of mumps was followed by one of measles with the result that school attendance is again considerably lowered. Accident. The many friends of Margaret Ramsay, Ihe twelve-year-old daughter of Mr and Mrs A. Ramsay, will bo glad to hear that her arm, which she broke, through falling from a tree while bird-nesting, is out of splints.
