During the past few days there has been (the Roxburgh correspondent of the "Otago Daily Times" writes) a spell of exceptional beat, which lias had the effect 'of bringing fruit on very fast. Immense loads have been goinn; forward daily, upwards of 60 tons leaving Beaumont on Monday, and though the lorries have been running double trips, much has had to be left, small growers being unable to got their little lots away. Orchardists have been busy from daylight to dark, endeavouring to cope with the rusli, and though fully staffed for a busy season, they have been quite unable to harvest everything. Fortunately there I was a welcome change in the weather on Wednesday afternoon, heavy rain setting in and continuing till next morning.
