(FROM OUS OWN COBRESP NDBNT.) Since my la* I notes I am pleased to Bay we have hud a mdd< n change from winter to summer. G•< d old sunshine has made many : railing faces, and it was just about time. If be bad kept hiding himself much longer we would have forgotten what he was like. It most certainly was getting very monotonous those two months of rain. The grass, crojs, gardens, elc., are looking well, although very late. Thia month is previous years many of us were digging er.rly potatoes, and bad penty of spring vegetables, but it will be gelling well on for Christmas before much is rtady for uso thia season. The potato blight is on tho war path again, and in one case has wiped a patch of early po'atoes right out. It is to be hop d that it is not going to continue as it means a lug loss to the farmers, esp( cially in bush disiriote, where they have to pack i heir potatoes in. The roads are drying up fast and another week or two sun cf wi’l see them with their summer coats on. Several lines of cattle are leaving the district for Waikato and from what i I can hear satisfactory prices have ben realised. Most of the bnshfalliug is finished, although much more would have- been felled if men could be got to do the work. We are now waiting for a month or two fine weather to burn. If the Conned or Government have any money for roading, it is to he hoped they will got to work and spend it. Now it , the time, not in the beginning of winter.
