Oparau.

(FROM OUR OWN COmESPONDSNV.) The late rains were wanted, and hid the effect of freshening up the grass. Those who go in for ploughing here are busy getting turnip land ready and putting in oats. A sample copy of the New Zealand Farmers’ Weekly and Land Agents Rea ord cima to head from toe editor of the Settler last week. It is a use. ful paper for farmers. The copy Men contained several good letters on Land Tenure, the extra taxes farmers are made to pay as compared to townspeople being very clearly shown. The paper is really worth the three pence per week, and once a farmer sees h he will become a subscribar.

A meeting to discuss the proposed loan for the Okupaca road was held in Jonathan’s store on Saturday last, when a unanimous vote in favour ot borrowing was carried. This ir vary satisfactory, as the roads here are in need of gravel, which is plentiful. Mr John Gage has been laid up for some time past with an injured leg. A good season is predicted by the natives, and I hope that the pr iphwy is correct. An old Arab proverb—He who knows net. and knows not that he knows not, is a fool, shun him. He who knows, and knows not that he knows is asleep, wake him. We know, and we want the farmers of Kawhia to know that *• Alfa-Laval" Cream Separator is absolutely without rival. First in 1800, it is still further ahead of ite competitors in 1906. No frrmer should be content with s jeond place when he may easily have the first.
