Any new export in a district is satisfactory. We are therefore pleased to state that the growth of vegetables on on Mr Joe Tos's farm will go in large quanties to Wellington. During the past week over fifteen thousand cabbage plants have been planted. We also hear that ill a few days time some ripe tomatoes will be in the shop from this garden. It is evident these gardeners understand how to hurry things along. Tenders, the advertisement for which only arrived in time to be inserted without comment in our last issue, are invited by Mr O'Connor of the Oroua Bridge for cutting green flax, paddooking, abd scutching Tenders close on Wednesday next. Acceptances, wo again remind our readers, close to-night for the^oxton Racing Club's meeting on the 23rd inst. Mrs Johnston, a widow residing in Balniain, N.S.

A large area is under the plough on the Carnarvon Estate, and we also noticed a paddock of rape well ahead. We understand what is now being ploughed, some 400 acres, will be put in turnips.) The oats sown by Mr Robinson in the paddock previously in turnips are very fine and are a very heavy crop* The ttam was well patronised by pasaehg&rs yesterday, which proves the opportunity of making a return trip to Sanson in a day is appreciated. We are. glad to notiiie from the report of the proceedings of the Manawatu County Council that the working of the tramway has resulted in a profit of £80, though every expense, such as repairs to engine and an extra man on the road has been chnrged against it. This is certainly a great feather in the cap of Mr Cox, the able clerk to the Council, to whom the management had been entrusted, and we are glad to see his efforts have been acknowledged by a bonus. The County has also wisely determinnd to keep control for a further six months. The guard, Mr Wrigley, is also deserving of some credit for the able and courteous manner he conducts his duties. Since Mr J. G. Wilson's offer of £5 towards the oo3t of sending flax to the Chicago Exhibition, Messrs McMillan, Rhodes & Co., Mr B. Austin, and the Messrs Dudson's have also promised £5 each, and other firms are to be approached upon the subject. In conversation with Mr J. (i. j Wilson he informed us that he would write | to the Hawke's Bay woolgrowers and ascertain how their exhibit was going, and he would also put himself in communication with other influential parties* The representative of the Awahou Bidingj Mr T. Wilson, is deserving of the best thanks of the ratepayers for his continuous action, which was crowned with success yesterday, in getting the large sum of £175 net, transferred from the General County Fund to the Biding Account. For years ' this credit has been shown on the balance sheets but until Mr Wilson moved in the matter the Biding had not this sum placed at its disposal for new works. It is to be used for further metalling on the Motoa road. The approach to the Shannon f»rry has been lowered and graded at a cost of £6. The whole of the roads in the County ate in very fair order, according to the Overseer's report. All the pile driving is done in connection with the Campbelltovn-Longburn bridge. Mr Gifford has some fine crops. A paddock of 'wheat incoming on splendidly, and his crop of "Dun" oats, thin-skinned sample, is as good as could be desired. We learn that Mr Tennant intends in about a month's time to shift his hempmill to Carnarvon. Mr Lumsden is reaping one paddock of oats, which, at the lower end are said to be fully six feet high. A lad is wanted who can milk and make himself generally useful.
