NOTES AND COMMENTS.

It is often said, perhaps so**qewhftfcjbitterly, that the town .takes, more thairi its share from the country. The,-eettlertt toil on under hard and discouraging circumstances in order-that their brothers of thetoirti may, reap the advantage., .'Their- produce is sold often at unremunerative rates, life is a struggle, whilst.all, the '< time Aucldand is . growing in every,; direction. ... iTo^nch ' croakers- one feels inclined:'to quoi_e'':the - : familiar old fable of the Belly and tlje Mem ber, but" having done that we may ifind it difficult to.aispute the fact that-thfe. town ■'_■■■■ does live rather too much, on, the cpUniiy. To "take one case out of many.' At -the • present time all country jioOple are: up to . their eyes in work. Harvcitipg-is. in pro gress, and the farmer's anxiety is naturally centred on successfully carrying out what means to him almost life or death." At such a time it.is naturally of the:graveßt importance that his presence should be felt in his paddock; It is good for himself, ' fiood for the coup try,.good for us all, that' he should be there. Why, then, in tho name of common sense, take farmers away at such a time and expect thelri to do their duty by their country in the-ranks of the jury ? There has been going on in Auckland for the last few days a case of considerable importance, the hearing of which-must •entail on the jury a great sacrifice-of time. Thoforeman of that jiiry wpsa farmer,li,vihg on the Tamaki, canning ;on agricuftural ; operations of some Magnitude.. .-.Yet he is compelled to leave his fields at a timewhen: h« presence is .most important,- in' order that he may serve as a juryman on pthe. no torious Barrier trial. Are, there not many in Auckland who' mighfrbe-better-spared at such a time than this self-sicrifi'cihg far mer? :" " -
