Owing to the continuous wet weather several belated hay crops still remain unharvested, though most of it is now stored in the various barns or in the stack. Several fine clover crops, all in the pink of condition, remain uncut. ROADS,. The roads in the district are ip a bad way, the worst, and it is really shocking, being the Thames road. How long will it be before something is done to remedy the existing state of things ? This road will soon have as evil a reputation as the one over the Rangiri/i hills, of which -so much is written in dispraise.
