APPLE FARM COMPANY.

The annual meeting of the Apple Farm Company was held late on Friday after noon, in Mr T. L. White's office, ScherfPa Buildings, Mr Cairns presiding. The directors submitted a report and balance sheet, together with a statement of farm operations, furnished by the manager, Mr Perry, which contained the fullest informa tion respecting the .work already done and in progress. That being bo, they only added their own personal convictions to those of the manager, that the Company had a bright future before it. The profit and loss account was as follows: —Dr.—Wages, £467 10s od ; interest on mortgage, £413 ss; salaries, £324 ss; timber, £36 lis 8d; ironmongery, £4 13 ---3 d; general expenses, £98 12s 7d; station ery, £12 2s 6d ; depreciation, £9 7s 6d: total, .£1,366 75.10 d. Balance, £1,256 7. lOd. Cr.—Rent of paddocks, £110. Balance, £1,256 7s lOd. An encouraging report wa.« also presented from the manager. It con gratulated the shareholders on the success lul rosult of the year's operations, notwith standing unfavourable weather, and stat- d that thero was every prospect of the enter prise becoming highly remunerative, " With reference to the codlin moth, hi considered that" owing to the special character of the soil of the Apple Farm, there was but a small risk of any substantial injury resulting to the orchard from this pest, as their soil was ol a loamy, somewhat moist description, rest ing upon a loamy clay subsoil, which pre sented conditions not nearly so favourable to the development of the codlin motb as did other and drier soils. He therefore believed that with due care and watchful ness all real danger from this source might be avoided.'' The general condition of the orchard was satisfactory. 47,000 trees were planted last year, all looked strong and healthy; and the 1,500 planted this season were well established. The report and balance-sheet were adopted. The retiring directors, Messrs Billihgton, Peacock, and Connell, were re-elected, and Mr E. B. Parsons was appointed auditor. It was decided in future to hold the general meetings of the Company on the last Friday in June.

The following cases were disposed of at the R.M. Court on Friday in addition to those already reported :—Mackie v. Simp son : Claim, £3 7s Gd, for work and labour done; M r Theo. Cooper for plaintiff. Judg raent for amount claimed, and 26s 6d costs William Holmes v. C. W, Langstone : Claim, L 35, for breach of agreement: Mi Theo. Cooper for plaintiff, Mr Cotter for de fendant. It seems that defendant is ownei of the brigantineNightingale, andtbea-ree ment alleged to have been broken was°that p'aintiff should be employed as captain The defendant repudiated any agreement and pointed out that while it had been in tended to run the Nightingale in the New Guinea trade, the plaintiff did not possess a master's certificate for trading outside New Zealand waters. After evidence had been hearJ, the claim was reduced to L 23, and His Worship reserved judgment. The following cases were adjourned :—Quick v Young, claim L 95; Jakins v. Karoo CtlUery Company, i claim LlOlOsj Official Assignee v. Barrel!, claim L 4 {is 8d".
