GREYTOWN

THE DAIRY SEASON. (“Times-Age” Special.) Preparations are well in hand for the new dairy season, and it ’is expected that a larger number of cows will be milked than was the case last season. The value of herd testing is now being generally recognised among dairy farmers, and at recent sales tested .cows have been in good demand; in fact keen farmers now demand that returns be supplied before they purchase cows for their herds. The Grey town factory will commence the new season on Monday next. PERSONAL. Mr and Mrs L. R. Huntley, who have been on a trip to England, have returned to Matarawa. - ENJOYABLE SOCIAL. A very enjoyable time was spent in the Fire Brigade Hall when Mr and Mrs Norman Woodley were entertained at a social by their friends to mark the occasion of their recent marriage. After several toasts had been honoured a large number of presents were opened.

Dancing was indulged in during the evening and a number of musical items given. TROTTING CLUB.
