iNotsvithstanding that heavy showv ers Jiave fallen tiK-oughout the district during t'he past lew day.s, thewater has only penetrated the to- a depth of about two incheg -rn the hills. Farmers, who are fortunate enough ,to have ' country, have derived., more benefit from the rain.s than their-, neighbours on the higher altitudes. 'Masterton County roadmen ire at present effecting -much-needed repairs to that-part of Benton's line between Mauriceville County boundary and the Flat Bu-sh road. I understand that Messrs Itufchorfr>vd Bros*, have disposed of tfieir Wn.irere property to Mr C. Oliver. Many farmers have been kept busy this season cutting and killing foxglove, which- has spread to an limosfc alarming extent 011 several farm.? throughout the district. It seems regrettable that nothing is being done to re-establish the dairying. industry in this district. I notice that Crown land' ranger has paid several visits' to' the local small grazing-rims, .recently subdivided. In answer to inquiries made to the Commissioner o,f ;Ciwn hinds re opening of the above, I am informed that, seven, subdivisions will lie offered for public application, probably a boutApril next. 1
