Mr A. Seifert stated, in the course of the interview with the Minister of Agriculture in Palmerston North on Wednesday, that 8000 acres of flax in the Manawatu district had been wholly or partially destroyed by the disease known as “yellow leaf.” No fewer than 14 unpublished novels of the late Nat Gould have yet to appear. His publishers explain that for 15 years they had a contract with him to buy up all that he wrote. The 14 novels represent the extent to which his pen worked faster than they could publish, the surplus being, at the rate of almost a novel a year. It is more than likely that F. Tilley will take two or three horses to Trentham, including Tame Fox and Kinsem. ,
