CROMWELL NOTES.
(From Oue Own Correspondent.) CROMWELL, February 15. The wfaiher is htill exceptionally hot aYi» drj, and the oiulook for winter feed foi siock is now becoming a serious quei tion. Never belore have the creeks boon s$ shorl of water, and in many places a nun* be r of creeks ha\e dried up for the &rs( time known. The wheat crop at Hawea is a remark* ably fine one all round, and there will L# a large quantity tor sale there. In som« ca-es the yield will be very high. It is a great pity that the exceptionally, large \ ields of apricots and plums in this? district cannot be utilised. Tons anc 1 ton* are going to wa-=te. several parties allowing the fruit to fall off the trees and they thew bury it. They contend that it will not paw them to forward the fruit to Dunedin, anil there is no demand for it locally.
