WAVE BLEY.
BRANCH OFFICE OF THE MAIL, Wednesday Evening. Picnic. —There was another picnic on Monday to the beach, but not so well attended as the one held on New Year’s Day. This closed our out-door festivities for the season. Farmers have been much put about by the extra work entailed in securing their hay crop, but the weather seems to have taken up again, and it is to be hoped we may have good harvest weather. Mr JaraesMilne Dickie has commenced cutting round his fine field of oats, next main-road. This is one of the best looking crops in the district, and if safely secured ought to yield a good return with a margin for profit, cheap as oats are at present and likely to continue. To a store farmer, however, the straw will be of considerable value, and dealers in purchasing fat cattle in spring are well known to prefer those that have had straw carted out to them, however good the winter feed may have Kftpn.
