TOKOROA,
The heavy rains of late have called a halt in haymaking- operations and several farmers have turned their attention to ensilagemaking. Some very nice pits and stacks are to be seen, particularly one on the Matanuku Downs estate, where Mr. Williams is converting 80 acres into ensilage. A remarkably .fine stand of oats, wheat and lyecorn is also to be seen on this estate. Quite a number of stackers and sweeps are in use in this district this season and have proved a huge success in saving time and labour as well as! by doing all the heavy lifting. The Progress League held their monthly meeting last week and decided to hold the annual meetingearly in March. The sitting members of the board all retire and this will give settlers a chance to introduce new blood. Despite the inclement weather the milk supply to. the local factory has not decreased much. Feed is still plentiful and with a little warm sunshine the pastures and soft turnip crops will respond abundantly foliate autumn and winter feed. Ragwort is very much in evidence this season and settlers should give this yellow bloom pest no footing as it quickly takes possession.
