LOCAL & GENERAL

A traveller for a big Wellington I'm took, this week, an order for bout £70 worth of seed potatoes

'oni Chinamen at Otaki. So could

have sold much more, hut ho was afraid that ho could not supply the quantity of the special kind wanted. The Cinnamon are going in heavily for growing potatoes, which they generally have on the market a clear month before the white men's crops come to profit. 'Most people nre satisfied to have about eighteen cwt. of potatoes sown to tho acre, but the "celestials" plant at least a ton and a half to the acre, and they thereby run less risk of having misses in their crop. The Revised. District Valuation ttoll for Wirokino Riding or Horowhyiiua County is now deposited in the County Couucil Offices, Levin. Canterbury orchards will contribute 9000 cases of apples to the South American market this season. The Atlienic will this week take 300 C cases, and the Paparoa will lift another 3000 at Lyttelton next week. The other 3000 will go by the next direct steamer. Extra care is be-

ing taken, under Government supervision, in the grading and packing op the fruit. Tt is hoped that next season spread-over shipments, amounting to 50.000 oases, will go forward to South America between March and June.
