LOWER NORTHIEIiN CRoPs,-The Cry fcr rain has beeo raised throughout the North of SA. generally. A few weeks ago the prospects of the wheatgrowers were most promising, but unless the weather conditions change in the course of a week or so the outlook will be gloomy, especially in the dry parts, and where the crops are well advanced they will be given a serious check. An inch or two of rain is bld:y needed through out the whole of the wheat-growing areas in order to renew the feeling of con fidence which recently prevailed. Sep. tember showers have been conspicuous by their absence, and every week of dry weather will seriously diminish the har vest.-Advertiser, Mr, George Dotzauer, a well-known bicycle rider, met with a serious acci dent while riding a motor cycle between Terang and Noorat. A horse ran across the road as he was passing, and the machine collided with it, the result being that Mr Dotzauer had his collar hone broken, the Bulll and Mouth hotel, Mo ston, was totally destroyed by fire on Saturday night, and the proprietor, Mr. Charles Anderson and two of his children per. ished in the flames. Mr Anderson was an old resident, having lived at the place for 40 years. The shocking event has cr^ ted a widespread feeling of sorrow. onnington's Irish Moss . Un'Krsna Rwsl for The Kli'.,gon correspondent to the Border WI'atch writes:-The Anglican chlrch seems to have entered upon a de. cided change for the better s rC: the ..ppointmnent of the Rev Mr Clark (late of Heywood), to the district. Let us hope that the peace of the citcuit may not be disturbed by the advent of any disturbing competition in our small com munity. Yet there is a tear that such may be the case by the re-establishment of a Presbyterian church. Dairymen in the Stony Rises have ex perienced one of the worst winters known for many years past. The grass is very backward for this 'time of year, and a week or two of warm weather would be welcome to give the grass a start. Most of the dairymen were compelled to hand feed their cattle, but in spite of this nearly all of therim have lost a few cows, one dairyman near Pomboroeit losing as many as 15. The bad season is put down by many to the unusual quantity of rain which fell during the summer months, causing the seeds to germinate, which disa off again during the dry spell in the autumn.
