Pohangina Items.

Messrs Rimmer and Craven are largely increasing- their store at Aehurst. It now fronts the Pohan-g-ina road as well as the Feilding road. I hear that it is to become a sort of colonial Whiteleys*. A good number of paddocks are being stumped. We shall become quite an army of producers soon, and will require another market ! The local one beinff already well stocked. German ploughs seem to be pretty much in favor here, they turn the [ lurrow topsy-turvey , quite necessary I in a district where weeds grow so i luxuriously. ' The Pohanpina County Council is f likely to spend some thousands ot ' pounds of loan money. Ibis will be f g-ood news for the unemployed, and will probably attract them Pohangina , wards. J Bushfelling- is about to commence * on the Whariti Block— some big '' clearing-s will be made. Caliiornian quail are spreading* all l over the district. Hundreds of sparrows are at work 1 on the potato fields. Plenty of peo- • pie write of their bad qualities, let me tell ot a g-ood one. Potatoes this year seem to be the butt of *' all the '. evils potato flesh is heir to." Caterj pillars have now made an attack on them, and the sparrow, or flutterer, as our Anglo Saxon forefathers named our chirping friend, is clearing them off. — Times' correspondent.
