The long continued dry spell is having a bad effect on the dairying here. The supply at the factory is greatly reduced. A number of the 'tanks are dry and many people have had to cart water, and it is hoped we shall soon have rain. Building is still brisk, new houses for Messrs A. Fmlayson and WorthiDgton are well under way, and a shop and dwelling is nearly completed loir Mr Taylor. Mr Ingram is shortly to commence building on his section on the Bickerstaff c. The additions to the hall will shortly be put in hand and should prove a boon to the district.
