A DRY SEASON.
I (Pen Press Association.) I Palmerston North, yesterday.I The present is the driest season experi I enced in the Manawatu for many years J past. Feed all over the country is parched I and burnt up, and in many instances far I rners are carting water for their stock. I Investigations made by the Standard’s re- | presentative show that the milk supply to. [ factories has fallen from 20 to 45 per cent. below the supply at this time last year. | The daily output of butter from the factory | here has fallen from 80001 b or 90001 b daily to between 60001 b and 70001 b, and there, is every indication that it will fall much lower. The milk yield is decreasing every day. Winter feed has not yet been trenched upon, but it will bo necessary before long unless a steady and continuous rain falls.
