Shorter Days Although probably not noticed tt> any great extent by townspeople, it is obvious lately to farmers that the days are shorter and that thej' rise before the sun once more. In December early milkers found themselves running a xlead-heat with OltS Sol, but now are using much more power in lighting the sheds. Onthe Plains the sun is noticed on the horizon at about 5.30 a.m. Misuse of Petrol It happened in a locality a little over twenty miles away to- the norths werd of Te Awamutu. A Government official, not unconnected with a job generally known as "impressment," had to visit a farm and, in carrying out his inspection, camc across a tractor the condition of which, it is alleged, proved that it had not moved "for donkeys." Being somewhat curious, the "official is alleged to have ascertained that a license for a considerable quantity of petrol .had been issued, and drawn upon, for the derelict machine. The denouement will, it is un "* derstood, be enacted in the Police Court at . Hamilton.
