Hastings has been “put on the map” by al least one periodical abroad. The journal is the London publication, the "Children's Newspaper” (says the “Hawke's Bay Daily Mail"), and in it appears a map of the world. New Zealand is included in the bottom righ-hand corner, and, apart from the name "New Zealand," there are only two names included —"Hawke’s Bay” and "Hastings.” No other name has been marked on the map of New Zealand. The prominence given to Hastings is explained by the interest being taken in the rice-growing experiments being undertaken here. Other countries where rice is being grown are also marked. Persons chiefly interested in the experiments are Mr J. Wattie. who introduced the seeds from Australia, the Mayor (Mr G. A. Maddison), and the superintendent of reserves (Mr J. G. C. MacKenzie).
