The nmds are starting to cat an, but fayoured with a little of the present weather sh?"’d soon dry again. Mr Th cun as Anderson has grown a good crop of turnips without the aid >»f manure. M ‘ssrs Symons and Co.'- mill has ceased operation \ About 40 attended divine service •h » mill on Sunday, v hen aervios - ere conducted by a Maori missionary. The singing < f the hymns in th® n*. ive language wir both cnyel at.d pleasit’g to the P ke’as present. We are wni ing anxiou-ly to hear tl-e result «-f the gutrainee for milk* in? for a factory. lam that ra her let the scheme fall through several farmers will guarantee m re cows to make up the 450. Great credit L du • to those pushing farmer® who are trying to etart the industry, and those who jib at the start and Ist the willing commuuce it through saying, “ When I do take it on I will m kfl things hum. but this year it doesn’t suit,” have not much sympathy for tbe enterprise, ft would be much better if all pulled If the enterprise fails msny will start with sheep, aud once started will not revert to dairying, so that if we don’t start this season wo will bare difficulty to start next, as the eectione ar* becoming suitable fur sheep.
