Where only disc ploughs are used it is almost impossible to turn the weeds down. Early sown crops are looking well, where the weeds were coped with, but in some instances the plough will be again brought into operation, and the ground re- seeded. Before a large gathering of farmers Mr. J. Leith Gillespic delivered a lecture on wheat- growing. He touched on the economic problem associated therewith, and emphasised that in order to retain the position secured for Australian wheat on the world's markets the most modern methods of cultivation must be employed, and only the best graded seed selected.

Mr. and Mrs. David Campbell were entertained by members of the Presbyterian Church before DIMBOOLA. leaving the district, and received a brass jar- diniere. A parish hall in brick is being erected by authorities of St. Peter's Church of England. Members of the choir of the Methodist Church entertained Miss Jessie Branford and presented her with a pyrex vessel in a silver stand. Mrs. A.C. Bennett, secretary of the Women's Missionary Union of the Presbyterian Church, was presented with an eight- day clock by members of the union. Owing to the higher freights being imposed on road metal a good falling off has taken place in the demand. At the municipal quarries at Dookie it is proposed to considerably reduce the staff, while at Cosgrove, Messrs. Deane and Runge in- tend closing their quarries, which will throw out of employment at least 20 men. The closing of quarries will mean the loss of £12,000 in revenue per annum to the Railways department from this district alone . As the result of the increase in cost of metal, one district contractor has forfeited his deposit rather than lose £200 on his contract for roadmaking. The rainfall for May was 179 points. Mr. H. S. Taylor has assumed charge of the State school. The secretary of the progress association has been advised that a member of the Country Roads Board will shortly meet property owners along the Wandin Creek regarding the road that has been promised them. Very favourable weather for ploughing and pruning continues. Some apples and passion fruit are still being sent to market, and a few straw- berries are still to be had. The borough council has decided to prepare estimates for the construction of swimming baths, to be completed in readiness for the coming summer. The installation of a second engine at the electric power- house for the purpose of giving a continuous power and lighting service is pro- ceeding rapidly. The Inglewood branch, A.N A , has presented seat to the residents of Bridgewater for the benefit of visitors to that town, and is also giving a cot ambulance to the Inglewood Hos- pital. Owing to an outbreak of diphtheria and mumps it has been decided to close the state school for a fortnight. Out of nine cases of diphtheria two have proved fatal. Mr. J. House, jun. , has joined the staff of the Commercîal Bank. The Minister for Public Works has promised to place droppers in the weir of the Wimmera River near Jeparit for the purpose of conserving water on condition that the council keeps them in repair. In parts the river is dry, and the droppers should assure the river remaining at a fair level. Farmers have practically finished seeding, and in some places crops are already up. A fall of an inch of rain would be very beneficial and brighten the prospects of the future. While kicking a football Mr. E. Carroll fell and broke a bone in his ankle. Showery weather prevailed most of last week. It was of great benefit to the crops and grass after the very heavy frosts experienced the previous week. Most of the farmers have nearly completed seed- ing operations.

McDonald, P.M., dismissed the information and observed that defendant was entitled to the benefit of the doubt. On the second charge evi- dence was given that when defendant stepped from his car he staggered, and that his breath smelt of drink. Defendant admitted having had two whiskies at Rochester nearly two hours before the collision, and said that the cause of his stagger- ing was due to shock caused by a collision with the other car. The police magistrate dismissed the information, saying that he had no hesitation in arriving at the conclusion that defendant was not under the influence of liquor.
