Our Ohinemuri correspondent, in Tuesday’s issue, drew the attention of Waikato producers to the importance of creating a direct trade with the Ofiinemuri and adjacent districts, where there js q- considerable population and a corresponding consumption of farm and dairy produce. This is one of those matters that fanners and stock-breeders should not lose sight of. We now have railway communication to Te Aroha, from which point there is excellent river navigation as far as the Thames, touching at such localities as Ohinemuri, Hikutaia, Ac. In tl ( e course of time we may, very reasonably to see the completion ot the Thamcs-Tc Aroha railway; but, in the meanwhile, the water carriage on the Waihou river, in conjunction with the line to To Aroha., should afford facilities for developing a steady trade between the Ohinemuri and Thames mining communities and Waikato. Lot the consumers of the former districts send their cyders for produce to the growers here, and we have no doubt, in that way, the question would practically salve itself.
