KONGOKOKAKO NOTES.
(From Our Own Correspondent). Monday. The weather still continues broken, and settlers are getting anxious about saving their hay. Unless we get a fine spell shortly the question of winter feed will become serious. The school garden is looking very well this year, and credit is due to the headmaster (Mr Bradstock) for the trouble he has taken to keep the children interested in the work. A feature is eighteen experimental plots of grasses which contain some new varieties to the district, and which should prove very valuable to farmers as well as scholars. The vegetable and flower garden are also manured in a systematic manner. The plot was found to be too small, and a further plot has been laid out behind the school for potatoes, four varieties having been planted with various kinds of manures. Word has been received that the schoolmaster (Mr Bradstock) has obtained a pass in freehand drawing in the. science and art examination held in June last by the Board of Education, South Kensington.
