The potatoes grown in Douglas Park this season by the Wairarapa Primary Production Council are uooking well, and should be ready for digging in two or three weeks’ time. Five varieties were sown, and of the samples taken so far, Aaron’s Banner appears to have done the best. Sale of Eggs. The retail sale by a producer of more than one dozen eggs to any one purchaser or on account of any one purchaser on any one day, is prohibited by a notice gazetted last.evening. A producer who sells eggs retail is to keep a record of all such sales, showing the date of sale, name and address of purchaser, and the place of delivery. All such records are to be open for inspection by an officer of the Internal Marketing Division. Marines Robbed by Women. Large sums of money, amounting to as much as 300 dollars in some cases, have recently been reported lost 1 by American marines on furlough in Wellington. There is good reason for stating that some of this money has not found its way out of their pockets by accident. American marines are known frequently to have in their possession substantial amounts of pay, drawn after it has accumulated for several months. There is a certain class of women reported to be seeking the society of these, men in the city, persuading them to over-indul-gence in liquor, and then relieving them of their cash. In short, complaints have been lodged that they have been “rolled” for their money.
