THE TOMATO CROP.

■ ■ A "FAILURE" THAT FAILED. After tlio predictions made early in the season to the effect that tho tomato crop at tho Lower Hutt was going to bo practically a, failure this year,'it i.s rather surprising to seo the remarkable quantity of-tomatoes still arriving at the local markets. ,A few days before Easter, about 3500 cases were coming to hand daily fiom tho Hutt, and even now it is reported that sqmo,lsoo to 2000 eases aro coming >in cach day/ On tho actual consignments it would appear that the first reports were, at. least i incorrect, and that the damage done by the blight was exaggerated. ■■ This-- year values have run as lowas,9d. per half:case of 211b.,.which is exceptionally cheap, but growers have been compensated by the heavy crop produced. •'A good thing Is soon snatched up." 'TH's an old'proverb, but true, and it is because, the':''Anderson" Oil Engines aro good that so many farmers grasp the opportuiuty of . securing one. Tho smooth, 'easy running of the "Anderses" makes this"en'gino' the ideal power to drive Milking' Machines. • Tho engine 'requires so little", attention while running, that a tremendous "amount of labour is saved. Thus the '"Anderson" is not only a wagecarne"r;,"but a'Avage-saver also. Order an "Anderson"-Oil Engino to-dny and ioin tlio ranks of more prosperous farmer. Every "Anderson" Engine is made in New Zealand'. Ltd., Christchurch.— Advt."
