Pohangina Notes
Messrs Adsett and Son have some splendid riniu about twenty chains from the newly erected mill on the Wanganui Harbour Board land, and a little beyond that there is plenty of totara. Our river has encroached a good bit this year in places, notably at Mr William Emmett's. He has done a lot of protection work lately, one corner on which he put up a wire fence with strong piles, has caught sufficient drift-wood and sand to fill up the large hole ouged out. A waggon load of willows is being laid among the debris and also sloped on the banks. JKiver bed land is valuable enough to go to all this trouble to save. The willows planted by the Kailway authorities on the groins put up on the bank of the Pohangina have struck root well, and aYe being protected from cattle by a wire fence. A further inroad of the river -is feared near the railway bridge. The pile driver is at work again to lay down some more groins. Mrs Grammar is intending to cultivate her hopgarden this year— the only one in the Valley.
