MASTERTON NOTES
So stuntel is the growth of some of the oat orope on the Taratahi Plain, in consequence of the drought, that farmers are eating them down with sheep. Tho frost of Tuesday.. morning did enormous damage to potato crops. One market gardener estimates his loss at «50. On the occasion of the departure of the Maori contingent from Mastorton o.'i Tuesday, Mr. Pahara te Tau carried a flag that had been won by the Wairarapa Natives on tho occasion of the visit of tho Duke of Edinburgh to New. Zealand over forty years ago. Very little interest is being manifested in the County Council elections, which take place next month. It is expected, however, that one or two of the seats on the. Masterton County Council' will be contested. The local brokers have decided to reopen tho sales of sheepskins and hides uext month.
