The, judge of tho sheets (Mr. Tom Brown) has reported as follows concerning them to the secretary of vho Levin Farmers' Union (Mr. H. J.

Broadbelt, 2 (£3), 87 marks. "J. Macdonald, 3 (£2), fu mirks. "The work of V. Richards is deserving of special commendation. Tho work of S. Broadbelt is good, aud fully deserves the second place. J.
