LOCAL AND GENERAL.

The committees of the Horticultural Society are reminded that an adjour ned committee meeting will be held in the News Office on Monday evening next at 7.30. The foundation stone of the new churci at Morrinsville will be laid by Mr Hdrrell Senr., on Thursday afternoon next, * o’clock. The Venerable Archdeacon Wiins and the Eev F. G. Evans will take part m the service, and it is hoped that a larg® number of people from different parts of the district will be present. Suitable hymns and psalms will be sung by the choir.

We aye pleased to learn that the reported death of Mrs W. S. Allen’s moth er is false ; the mistake arose through misinterpretation of a telegram. That lady stul enjoys good health. The Morrinsville scnool treat (which had been postponed in consequence of the report) will be held at Annandale on Friday, the Ist of March. At the World’s Fair, Chicago, last year, in the Horticultural Building, was exhibited a“ Jumbo Pumpkin that weighed 481 lbs. At the California exhibit* in the Agricultural Building, was exhibited another Jumbo Pumpkin that weighed 41 71b5. Gardeners and intending exhibitors at our coming Horticultural Show, will, no doubt, be pleaded to hear that they will very likely have an opportunity of seeing one of this class of pumpkin, a townsman interested in horticultural matters having imported the seed direct from California, and has now several growing in his garden. Sacaline is the name of a forage plant extensively grown in America. If w r hat the Yanks say about it is true, it is about the best that it is possible for farmer and dairyman to cultivate. It grows 14ft high, and gives three or four cuttings a year, stems and leaves, green or dry, are greatly relished by cattle, horses or sheep, and are more nutritious than clover, lucerne corn, or any other forage plant it will grow in any temperate climate.

. We have frequently drawn attention to the suitability of soil and climate of the Upper Thames Valley and Te Aroha in particular for fruit culture. This has been demonstrated by Mr H. J. Hawkins, who b .-ought us a sample of Pond’s Seedling Plum, 7 of which weighed lib Bpz, and the largest plum turned the scale at 4oz. We understand that the trees from which the samples was taken are loaded with fruit, which speaks vo nines for the kind and also for the skill of he grower. The samples can be seen at our office till midday, after which we will not be responsible for them.
