GENERAL HEWS.
lii passing, through the district (writes our Mauawatu representative), 1 notice that, in the hoarier country, farmers are going in more extensively for growing hean crops. In Pohangina and Fcilding districts sonio very forward crops are in and give promise of a heavy yield. Questioned as to tho suitability of Foilding soil for this particular crop, a fanner who for many years followed agricultural pursuits in ilangiora, Canterbury, states that tho prospects of growing beans or peas are even in advanco of Canterbury. At tho present time, tho weather, which lias been punctuated by warm spring showers, is everything that could be desired by tho farmors. All over tho district they aro hard at work getting in root crops and the main crop of potatoes. Dairymen aro in possession of abundance of feed, and tho milk supply is continually on tho increase In the district around Sandon tho sowing of grain crops is well in band, and oats have k come away rapidly.
