WAIKATO FARMING
HAY HARVEST OVER RAIN FOR CROPS (From Our Own Correspondent) CAMBRIDGE, To-day. Fine hot weather continues. Harvesting operations in the district are now nearly completed, and farmers are looking anxiously for rain, which is badly needed. Pastures have dried up Vapidly, and milk supplies are rapidly decreasing. Crops of turnips, etc., will fare badly if rain does not come soon. The last rain of any consequence in the district fell just about a month ago. The Cambridge water supply, inaugurated last year, is proving eminently satisfactory, and citizens are congratulating themtaclves, as the old supply would not have been adequate.
Leamington, where there is no town supply, is faring badly, residents having to cart water long distances.
