Oparau.

(fbom oub own correspoxuext We have had slight rain bat we want it more constant. The fences are assuming their normal condition, thanks to the push and hard graft of the settlers. Molars Troughton Bros have their burned area gown with rape. Turnips sown are coming up bat want more moisture, or the fly will get them.

Armstrong and Co are hard at work repairing damages, and will be started next week. Good luck ! The White Star Sawmill cso be heard blowing its merry whistle. It has steam up bat I am too busy to sae farther.

Wright and Son have a new planer and m mlder in their mill at Oparaug and will soon be at work.

The G ivernment should find money to re-erect fencing, and where new areas are ba'ned, the ?eed, as tbe poor pettlere want all spare cash to pay for stock bought dear and burned, and which is tba worst loss we have had. Seed al >ne means only a slight help. We must have stock and fences ar what use is tbe grass *? In four weeks from date all seed to be a success must be in. He that looketh to the clouds will never sow, and he that looketh to the raio will never reap, so get ii sown when it comes and sow soma rape and green lop yellow Aberdeen turnips with it.
