(FKOM AN OCCASIONAL COKUESI'ONDKXT.) RiVKlt Flats.— The fl.it.-s aloner the banks of tin- Waipa. are justly hold in high favour by the settlers hero, for'tlioir groat futility, this mi doubt Wins due to the rich deposits brou"ht d'.)wn by tin; river when in Hood. As an example «.F tii-.s excellent crops obtained on these land--, I in '.v mention the ease of a settler v/ho last s■nisoii planted two l':i«s of HuUi! potatoes, and obtained a .eturn of -JO basr* of saleable tubers. Such splendid results justify the continual and increasing practice of croppuu? those fl its. This season la. areas m, the river low lands will bv. pl.mtod than before. Mil Rkyxoi.ks. -The c> pital suggestion contained in your leader of the lSth lust, should be generally (,-iven eflect to by he dairy farmers of Waikato. Mr li'>yiiolds i« undoubtedly a limn of liist-nitu business capacity, and possessing j;reat energy and go. Uα has vory suucossfully carried on the butter factory biisines-s, •nv.l .in domso has established inaiiv flouri-slmil,' uruu-n-eries in WaiUato, which have alforded a steady mid increasinj income to lmnibers of fanners in the district. His «reat snecuss in orniinisiiiß agencies in Kiigland and in obtaining a la«e and continuous silo for Waikatu butter deserve recognitinn at the !,an<ls of the farmers. A market which is practically limitless has, Mr Reynold's elVorts, been obtained for dairy produce. I. feel sure the settlers hero will hot be backward in doiinj their lmel best m furthering the siitrue^tion. Mil OhAHI.KS UIIOo.MKIKLD.— AprnpiH <)1 creameries and Mr Reynolds, the. transition is easy from these matters to Mr Charles Hronmfiold, the manager of Messrs keynolds and Co.'s Whatawhata creamery, who, I understand, is about to leave hisi-o to m> to TairmUi. Mr Broomiiold is a hißlilyesteeined member of Messrs Reynolds and Co.'.s excellent stalf. He is deservedly popular hero, and his departure will bo sincerely regret led. ' ACCIIIENT TO MR CIIAIH.KS AI.KXANDKII. — V aoiuowhat serious accident occurred to Mr Charles Alexander, of Matnripiko, near Mr Uou'er llarsmit's farm, Kiraiuu, 'in Wednesday, Kith inst. Mr Alexander was returninc from Raphin, and the slippery • tate of the road caused lih horse t<, slip and fall, piniiiuK him to the ground. Inlβ iu this position Mr Alexander cooe-ed, bufit was swine time ere help came. Jho worthy teacher »f the Karanm school (Mr Marsdon) at length, hearinß the cries,, went to Mr Alexander's assistance and extricated him Mr Alexander was much bruised and'shaken, and ho mif,ht have sustained very serious injuries by the horse s pressure upon him had not Mr Marsdon, or some other person, gone to bis. aid. I am sure his many fiiends will rejoice with mo that lie escipnd so well.
