Following a Cabinet meeting in Melbourne, the Hon. W. M. Hughes announced that the after very careful consideration of the present outlook, had decided to raise an additional 50,000 for active service, to h>. available within the next few months. They will form new units, independent of the quota of [}.">()() monthly necessary for reinforcements, H« added that tlip principle of voluntary enlistment will be adhered to. He promised an early opportunity to d;tscloso tin* reasons for taking.this important stop in assisting the Allies to bring the war to a. successful conclusion. " "I am doing nine hours a day, an i 1 cannot do more." stated a promin 'lit Gisßorne shecvpfarinor, when discussing the problem of the snort-age of farm labour owing to so many young men from the country going to the war. He pointed out that if tne ''silver uni let" was going to win the war, ii w; , .- necessary to keep up the production ol the countryj aud this coulcli not bo done ii they lose their men. Jli> was ol opinion that the .Minister for Defence should be approached on the subject. Another well-known sneopiarmer interposed that the remedy would be in employing married men and providing them with cottages.

The latest recruits who Jiavo signed 0,1 to proceed to the front have been receiving some useful tips i'rom okl campaigners during the past few uays These have a wide range, which stretch from chiropody down to the must eilectivo way of .spitting a Turk. It remained lor it Mauri however to wip the lot. Addressing one of the latest recruits the old native (said:—"You oil to te front, hey? Well, py Wry, ,voii no pe to -tain food when you iii to trenches. You no rise up with you rifle to look where te Turk is. ll you do te Turk will shoot you in te head; and you drop down—dead. K.ipai you stan' on your head in te trench, put your potae on you loot, and hole you foot up above te trench. To Turk lie see te potae. liang! He shoot you in te foot, and you come back to Nui Zeelan' a wounded hero, and get te pension. Kapai!" And lu- fairly beamed on the man who Jiad just taken the King's shilling.—Gisborne Times. The outlines of a romance of the war may be traced in the lollowing marriage announcement which appears in iho London Times: —On the 27th Jim.? on the high seas, off Salonika, by the chaplain to the bridegroom's unit (the llov. A. J. "Waldron, vicar of Brixton), Percy Wallace, M.R.0.5., L.R.C.P.. o[ King's College, Cambridge (First iSritisJi Field Hospital to Sorbin), elder son ol Mr and Mrs James CI. W.

Tiiei'e was a considerable number oi farmers in town on Saturday (states tiie .Southland Times), and from an ojwti ters flowing accounts were received of the condition oi the province at the present time from an- agricultural and pastoral point of view. it is now beyond doubt that the area turner e.'reals us greater in Southland than i has been lor many years. Oat crops are looking splendid, and for this time o tile ye;ir are well forward.. In in part oi .Southland is it reported then-i-K.a single bad crop. Dairy farmerare experiencing a right royal time, for not only are prices high, but the season i.s a perfect one lor grasts. M''\

The vagaries of the weather during the past It'w weeks have been such that t • the average person lo lorccast tlia climatic conditions a lew hours ahead it has been a matter oi diifliculty. 'After the rain oi the pawl lew days and the sudden rise in the temperature a tew day* ;ig°, very f< , w |iersous were prepared lor the severe frost that followed -with the result tlTat the voting plants in the family vegetable garden suffered severely in cases where the pereim responsible tailed to take precautions. Though the evening iva.-. chilly very few people expected to see such a heavy frost as covered the ground in the morning when the early risers aAvoke andi prepared to go one to tend their plants. Nearly eleven degrees ol frost were recorded by the Observatory, which, considering we are now well advaneed into summer, is severe, and caused a good deal of damage, not only -in the city but also in the country. There was a severe frost over a good part of the Plains which did damago to potatoes and to v>heat in oar. On Saturday a heavy hail istorui did a certain amount of damage, but not to be compared with the frost. The dry winds which have followed mostoC the rains wr- lmvo had have prevented tho country benefiting - so much a.s it otherwise would 11nv• • do:n>; nevortheloss before the frost it was looking very bnnnie.- -Oinist-cbin-cb Nrws. <XX)K TO VOUH S.'OMACH.

Constable Bagrie returned from the South island yesterday. He states that the Southland district is looking extremely well, and old residents there report that the present season is one of the best they have ever had. The county is making steady progress, and; parts that a few years ago were in tussock's, are now sown down in English grasses and cereals. The weather has been favourable and Southland missed the heavy frost tTiat is reported to have , clone so much damage in Canterbury last week. Many 6t fcho potato ciops on the plains this side of Titnaru suffered severely.
