THE OUTLOOK IN WAIKATO.
Threshing operations are now in full swing (writes our Waikato correspondent), tho various machines having started on their rounds,and so far as I have heard,yields are very good. Professor Thomas lias delivered three lectures on scientific farming,and they were all well attended and very much ap preciated, more particularly the one on “fertilisers,” and I have little doubt that the farmers will now crave for more knowledge on this point. Judging from his instructions, lime should enter far more extensively into our farming operations than it has hitherto done, and I shall not be at all surprised to see the limeburning industry in the King Country go ahead very soon. The Railway Commissioners have (marvellous to relate) made very small freights on lime from Te Kuiti, where very large deposits of limestone exist, to Waikato, to try and encourage a trade, and as soon as the nativo titles are settled in that part of the world we may expect to see some extensive quarries opened up. “ Auckland Star.” March 11.
