At the mouth of TTalfmoon Bay, Stewart Tsland. tlioro is a group of bushy islands, including one known as Pukcokaoka Island. Here Mr. .T. Bragg recently cleared a patch about' (50ft x 24 ft and sowed it- down in potatoes (mostly Up-to-Dates). He did not visit the place, foi hilling-up or anything else until a. few weeks ago (says the .Southland Newi) when he went over to see if. the crop had come to anything. On digging up a sbaw or two he. found potatoes weighing about 21b in weight—huge tubers every one of tliem. This small patch returned a crop of half a ton. This will proba'bly lead to some further exploitation of these little-visited islands. KARBOL, the best disinfectant known; used by the British Government..—S.ykes, Chemist,
