This petition will be read for the Council's approval to-day. The Government writes to s»y that the whole matter of charitable aid is under its consideration It haa been pointed out to me tha X io would be a boon to farmers and o'hers if the duty of 10s per tonon agricultural salt was either remitted or refunded.

The supplies from head works have had to be lessened from time to time to meet the flooded condition of races, owing to the prevalence of surface water ou the plains generally. In some cases it was necessary i o take special steps to prevent such volumes of flood water entering the races. At present the races are chiefly supplied by storm water. The Rangitata Road Board has now taken up the mainten ance of fords as arranged. The races recently sanctioned within the district are cow on the point of completion, ■ . . Ashbur on Rakaia Plains Water Supply. — There is an ample supp'y m all the race?, and these are being regulated to suit the varying condition of rivers, and more or less flooded state of the ground, consequent en long continued wet weather- The repairs of scoured portion of D race near Cairnbrae will be completed this week.

County Plantations. — The planting of reserves near Doric and Rosedale has been completed, and that at north Mayfield, ! Anama, and - Mount Somera Tramway Reserve iB about to be commenced. All the fencing and ploughing, etc., on the various reserves are on the point of completion. You will observe from accompanying letter that Mr Goodwin has given instructions to replant the burnt portion of plantation on Reserve 2589. Poisoned Grain. — The poisoning of wheat, rye corn, and shelled oats is being carried out as per your instructions. Some delay m drying took place on account of the long continuance of wet weather, but considerable quantities have already been distributed amongst the various Road Boards, and from this office.

SOUTHLAND V SOUTH CANTERBURY

I Timabu. August 6 There was beautiful weather for the Southland v South Canterbury football match, played on the Caledonian ground this afternoon, and a large attendance. The game was rather slippery, but a capital game resulted. The play was unusually free from arum work, and an excellent display of passing, running and kicking was seen. Soon after the start the visitors rushed the ball to the home twenty-five, and short runs, stopped by good collaring, followed. The visitors had a couple of shots from free kicks, but both failed. Curtis (Ashburton) made a splendid run from one twenty-five to the other, passing all on his way, bub was j collared by Rain a few yards from the line. The visitors reasserted themselves, and carried play to the home quarters, where Anderson passed to Jenkins, and the latter scored easily. Purdue failed with the kick. Soon after resuming Koyds was grasst d by Upton, the home captain, and retired hurt, unfortunately dislocating one of his ankles. A substitute was allowed. The second spell opened slowly until the home team roused up, and should have Bcored, bub Curtis failed to take a pass. The visitors then made a vigorous attack, but the home team collared too well. At last Hirst got posses sion and crossed the line, but the kick was badly missed. Soon after the game ended, Southland winning by six points (two triesj to nil. The visitors played well all round, but the backs of the home team were weak m combination. Mr W. J. Cotteiill was referee.
