The annual treat given to the scholars » attending the Aehburton School came off yesterday in the paddock belonging to Mr 1. M. Jones, jaefc behind the County Pientaion, aome distance north of the New Cemetery. The plantation was made use of to Bupply Bhade for the children when at midday an abundant feast of good things was laid for them by the Committee and teachers. _ The, aay was very warm with no wind, and in the morning at about half-past nine the soholarß assembled at the school, and went thenae to the scene of the day's pio-nio. A number of oarriera kindly came with their vebioles and conveyed the younger children to the ground, where the teachers a« once began to organise ■ports for the young folks. The day was spent right jollily by both boyseand girls, and the Committee desires us to note their high appreciation of the spirit in which they were met by the several storekeepeaa who kindly contributed tins of b.souits and sweets, by the butohera who between them gave the weight of a bullock in meat, to the friends who contributed fruit, and to the carriers for conveying the little ones. The day closed With the usual demonstrations that boys and ' girls make when they are asked to thank a popular Committee or teaching staff.

DRIED FRUIT FOR EXPORT.

.Bkoknt advices from London on the subject of the market for apples ex ported in what iB technically termed the " green" state show conclusively that there is room for New Zealand growers in this direction to achieve very satis factory results. Bat the export fruit trade which this Colony can, if it choose, command is not by aay means restricted to green fruit—a great deal can also be done in the direction of preparing dried fruit for the English market. Upon this subject a very large amount ot in teresting and valuable, information has been forniehed in leottires' delivered at various places 4n the Colony by Mr , (Spawn, an expert in fruit-preserving who is on a visit to New Zealand with a Tiew to setting afoot industries of this kind. Addressing an audience at the Industrial Association';! rooms, Auck land, the other day be dwelt on the im portanoe of the fruit-growing industry in America, especially on the Pacific 1 Coast, "Looking back, ha could hardly believe the change since twenty years ago. Then, tha land was all held by great wheat farmers, with their four and five thousand acres. They were going to do great things, but they tried too much. The" highwages attractedf thousands from tho East; the price 0 land went up too high; a panic came ; and the large farms were broken up. These big farmers had really been in the hands of the banks. Borne of them had tense enough to start fruit growing, and these were now among the wealthiest in California. After the people turned ? their attention to fruit-growing, from 1880 to 1887, population in California doubled, all owing to fruit. Now the whole place, one might say, was a big orchard. There had been a cry that they were going in too much for fruit growing and that there would be a glut, and yet in spite of the immense quantity produced he believed there waß less waste of fruit in California than here." Mr Spawn referred to the fruit-growing colonies in California, and gave some Statistics showing their amazing pros perity. From his description they were teritable paradises, 'f The {.Riverside' irrigation colony—a purely fruit-growing colony. of 10,000 acres—formerly a barren plain, was now worth four million dollars, and had a population of 6000 people. The taxable value of the State had increased at the rate of 20,000,000 dollars a year, owing to fruit-growing." He went on to say that in America on every farm of 100 acres, in addition to the well-cultivated fields, there were from ieight to ten acres of orchard, the pro duce of which was stored in fine fruit cellars, so that the farmers hardly ever went to town without having something to sell. In New Zealand the conditions were even more favorable as it was free from the cyclones, heavy storms and tornadoes with which the American fruit-grower has to contend. "Speak ing of the various fruits he said lemons would pay handsomely. In one instance a man had netted £2 16s per tree from lemons. In California there had been a great change in ideas about oranges, formerly a man proposing to grow oranges in California would have been regarded as a lunatic, But they tiad found hardy varieties which had done very well, and he had no doubt these varieties would do well in New Zealand also. Prune plums were one of the most profitable of crops they could grow. Supposing they averaged 2cwt per tree (they reckoned 300lbs per tree an California), this would give at |d *lb £89 per acre. The average price for peaches and apricots '!in California was Id per lb, and at that price it paid handsomely. Mr Spawn then exhibited samples of fruit dried by his climax evaporator. For a pound of dried apricots they would pay retail Is 6d. But this, seemingly dear, was really -equal to 51bs of raw fruit. When tinned 1 thej would pay Is 3d for lib of fruit, !This showed the great advantage of dried fruit, especially as the flavour was preserved!. Taking dried apples he sold them at Is per lb, and they were retailed at Is 3d per lb. This lib was equal to B -81bg of raw apples, for which they would have had to pay 2s. He also showed specimens of dried figs, raisins, prune plums, pears, sultana grapes, quinces, and onions. The prune plums could be pold retail at 6d per lb, giving a fair profit to all. Onions were hard to keep, tot, evaporated, a bag of onions would j.o into a small packet. Samples of d/ 5 d potatoes were &lso shown, which he uaranteed could nod be told from ord ary potatoes when cooked.- Dried pan kin and sweet maize were also reconuaended as profitable crops. If fortunate enough to start this industry here he would get every farmer to grow an acre or two of sweet maize—one of the finest vegetables, and one of the best for drying." He stated that £110 would be enough to set up a complete fruit-drying plant capable of drying 40 bushels of apples a day, and' showed that California sold her fruit at a good profit in London, although it had to be carried S3OO miles by rail for shipment at New York. Say they had 100 tons here to send to London, they could send it cheaper than it could be taken by rail from California to New York. He ridiculed the idea of running to the Government for a bonus upon the export, and asserted that tha fruit and vegetable industries could be made worth millions to the colony. "The trouble here was that men owned toe much land. The large number of land greedy farmers who would only grovi wheat would have to learn the value 0! small iruit-growing holdings like those in America. As to the cry,of ' over production, there "could be' no over production of large, fine fruit. 'I he onlj yer-produQtioa' vfag oi rubbigbf Xfc

land greedy farmer of 1000 .acies thought it beneath him to cotne dovmto I a 10-acre fruit fsrnu,.. :>d yet in Oaliiornia there were no more profitable farms than \ the bmall ones of 10 to 20 acres. They could command success, whereas the large farmers generally met with . disaster." I,* We notice that in Hawke's Bay 1 the result of Mr Spawn's mission I has been that the matter of fruit-drying I for export has been taken up and a . plant acquired, and we hope that this will prove to be but the first of many 1 centres of what promises to be a large ' and profitable industry.

CORN EXCHANGE REPORT.

The following is the Corn Exchange report for the week ending Friday, March 7th: —The markets generally have seen no alteration dur ing the week worth recording a general apathy prevails, buyeis being disinclined to operate at prices asked. Douutless one reason of the few transaction-, that are taking place is the absence of o-tside orders, this year being in. marked contrast to year in that respect. The weather, though uvorable to threshing operations, has been too continuously dry for the country generally. Complaints as to the shortness of feed reach us irom all quarters, and root crops are badly in want of moisture. Wheat is in firm demand. Sales at quotations have been m-ide, but there is a general disinclination on part of buyers to make large purchases at the values put on by growers, which are above those current. Oats.—The remarks as to wheat apply equally to th.s grain. Barley.—{Samples have been offering ireely, but of medium quality only, no really prime malting having come under notice. Good maltsters' lines of extra quality could be favorably p:aced. Peas (Prussian Blues) hand threshed, meet with a fair enquiry for export. Other *.orts are neglected. JBeans are'being harvested, and it is yet too early to speak of the prospects of this pulse though the only outlet viible is the United King dom. Grass Seed.—Ryegrass is in good demand and prices are maintained. Cocks foot—The season's growth is disappoint ing as samples are light and generally not bright in color. The prop does not appear to be a heavy one, and growers are apparently going to hold for a high hgure, which the season's standard seems hardly to justify. Dairy produce.—iingish advices should en courage factories being established for butter making, an x doubtless we shall see an addi tional impetus being given to the production oi butter here. cheess remains unaltered.

A STARTLING EVENT ITS VILLAGE

j To the Editor of " Saturday Night." Bir mingham, I recently came intc possession of certain facts of so remarkable a nature, that I am sure you will be glsd to assist in making them public. The following letters were shown to me, and I at once begged permission to copy them for the Press, 'lhey come from a highly responsible source, and may be re ceived without question. MBSSAGE from George James Gost* } ling, L.D.S., R.C.5.1., Ph.C.I., Licentiate 1 in Pharmacy and Dental Surgeon. Stowmarket, July 18, 1889, To Mr White, The enclosed remarkable cure should, I i think, be printed and circulated in Suffolk. The statement was entirely voluntary, and is genuine in fact and detail. G. J. G. { "To the Proprietors of Mother Seigel's Syrup. " Gentlemen, —The following remarkabl cure was related to me by the husband. Mary Ann Spink, of Finbjrough, Suffolk, was for over twenty years afflicted with rheumatism and neuralgia, and although comparatively a young woman at the time she was attacked (she is now fifty), she was compelled, in con sequence, to walk with two sticks, and ev«n then with difficulty and pain, /.bout a year and a half ago she was advised to try Mother beigel's Syrup, and after taking three bottles ' and two boxes of Seigel's operating Pills, tfie use of her limbs was restored, and she is now able to walk three miles to Stowmarket with ease, frequently doing the distance in three quarters of an hour; Any sufferer who doubts this story can fully ascertain its truthfulness by paying a visit to the village and enquiring of the villagers, who will certify to the facts. "Appended is the husband's signature to he statement "(R. Spink.) " G. S. GOSTLING, '- " Ipswich Street, ; " Stowmarket." This is certainly a a very pitiable case, and the happy cure wrought by this simple but powerful remedy, must move the sympathy of all hearts in a common pleasure. This poor woman had been a cr.pple for twenfy ot her be3t years j years in which she should have 1 had such comfort and enjoyment as lite has to give. But, on the contrary, she was a miser, able burden to herself and a source of care to her friends. Now, at an age when the rest of us are growing feeble, she, in a manner, renews her youth and almost begins a new existence. What a blessing and what a wonder t is ! No one who knows her, or who reads her story, but will be thankful that the good Lord has enabled men to discover a remedy capable of bringing about a cure that reminds us—we speak .it reverently—of the age of miracles. It should be explained that the most remark able cure is due to the fact that rheumatism is a disease ot the blood* Indigestion, constipa tion, and dyspepsia cause the poison from the partially digested focd to enter the circulation, and the Wood deposits it in the joints and muscles. This is rheumatism, Seigel's Syrup corrects the digestion, and so stops the further formation and deposit of the poison. It then emoves frou the system the poison already there. It "is not a cure-all. It does its wonderful work ectirely by its mysterious action upon the digestive organs. But when were member that nine-tenths of- our ailments arise in those organs, we can understand why Seigel's Syrup cures so many diseases that ( appear to be so different in their nature.
