"I think you will find now that the sheep tax is removed, that the number of our flocks will tremendously increase during this year." This statement was made by a Canterbury delegate at the Agricultural Conference at Wellington, but why did the delegates laugh when the statement was made? No explanation was given, and the unsophisticated citizen hesitated to think that there had been any "dodging of the tax" by the simple pastoralist. A delegate from the South expressed the opinion that the conference should send its thanks to the Government for the remission of the tax, and this was agreed to. "Is it safe to do so?" asked a cautious Southerner. The chairman (Mi J. G. Wilson) thought, now the tax was out uf the way, the department might make up its returns of sheep at a different time. The present date, April 31st, was not the best time for getting the fullest returns. A number of motions were put and lost, the conference finally agreeing that the present arrangements should be continued.—Post. An Auckland Press Association telegram states that several additional sections and blocks of Crown land m the Auckland district will shortly be available for selection. Applications for sections in the Wainana Settlement will be received on August Bth, and a week later three more blocks lying to the south of Opotiki will be opened. Judging by the number of selectors already entered for these lands competition at the ballots will be keen. On August 28th a small reserve in Rawene will be opened for lease under the Public Reserves Act, and ten small sections in the township of Wahaioa will be offered for sale on the same date. A section of 430 acres in the Okania Settlement, near Matamata, and one of 32S acres in the Puni district near Otorohanga will be available on September 18th. A section in the "Returned Troopers Block," Otanake Survey District, will be offered on the optional system up till August 7th. Tenders will be received for the purchase of kauri and other milling timber standing on parts of block XV. and XVI., Maungataninhas Survey District, Omahutu State Forest.
