Speaking to a Levin Chronicle representative, Mr W. G. Adkin mentioned a fact in connection with local weather which, if reliable, is worthy of notice by farmers. He stated that during his 20 years’ experience of fanning in the Hoi'owhenua district, and indeed before that time, when he lived in Wellington, he has noticed that heavy rain always fell about the first of December, within three or four days either side at most. The time was so regular that in the old days tin’s rain was known amongst some of the older settlers as the “rata Hood,” from the tact that the ratas were in blossom at the time. If, as Mr Adkin says, heavy rain may be relied on at this time, the tact should be of importance to farmers putting in turnips and other crops for which a good rain shortly after sowing is essential.
