RAINING SOVEREIGNS
THE WEEK-END FALL
WELCOMED BY FARMERS "This means hundreds of pounds to me,'" said one smiling farmer when visiting the toAvn last Saturday as he sur-i ~veyed the steady penetrating • rainfall. "I reckon that the pastures will respond in a way that will mean a new fillup to the cream yield." The above views Avere probably echoed by all other district farmers other than those who were in the midst of their harvesting operations. The rain has certainly been of a beneficial nature, being warm and consistent and drenching the countryside in a manner which is •expected to bring a quick response.
Travellers to Rotoriia last night declare that a heavy mist enveloped the mountain road leading to the lakes while even the Ohope route .proved a little precarious to motornight. A heavy cloud covered the higher levels and it was necessary to progress carefully in order to negotiate the bends.
