PIO PIO.
o Own Correspondent. The bad weather we are getting is making it very bad for shearing, one day fine the next raining, so it is almost impossible to get the sheep fit for the blades. One settler told me he had been two weeks trying to shear 300 sheep and has not finished yet. This time last year tha shearing was all finished and the wool in the market. The weather is also having the effect of keeping our roads in a very bad state.
I am pleased to report that our dairy factory is still forging ahead. It is turning out a first-class article, 93 being the lowest grade. The directors have been doing good business, .having sold most of their output at a good figure and are paying the supplier lOd per pound for butter fat. The directors did a wise thing not to sell straight out at the beginning of the season. I wish the company ail success, and it is needless to say that the suppliers are shaking hands with themselves.
Our school is breaking up for the summer holidays on the 20th inft., and the children are having a picnic on that date. The committee have got some very nice presents for the.". Still, I think, the best present they could get for them would be a decent school to start the new year in.
