SUPPLY OF SEE-D POTATOES.I
SUPPLY OF SEE-D POTATOES. I The attention of allotment holders and the public is directed to the arrange- ments made by the Corporation to supply immune varieties of seed potatoes for planting during the next season. The last day for making application is Monday, December 24th. A large area in South Wales has been scheduled as a dis- trict in which only immune varieties can be planted, and unless ear fcv application is made it may be impossible to meet the demand, j There seems to be a doubt in the minds of local growers of potatoes as to the planting of varieties of seed'pota- toes such as Up-to-date, King Edward, and Arran Chief. These varieties must not be planted. j Information with regard to the plant- 1 ing of other varieties may be obtained at the Borough Surveyor's Office. Town Hall. or from Mr. F. C. Hill, Pare Howard.

OBII ijARY. I MR. HAROLD HENSHAW. I The death occurred on Wednesday evening, after a long period of weakness, of Mr. Harold Henshaw, son of ex-P.C. Henshaw. A young man of only 24 years of age, his untimely demise is regretted by a large circle of friends. "Harold" was a particularly loveable character, and to know him was to love him for his kind- ness and good nature. His health had never been robnst, hut in spite of this, he was always cheery, with a smile for all with whom he came in contact. He was a trusted nwmber uf the staff at the cfficp of the Rural Council, but latterly he had joined the colours. The hardships of camp life, however, told severely upon him, and ultimately he was discharged from the Army. Much sympathy is. ex- pressed with Mr. and Mrs. Henshaw in their bereavement. The funeral will take place on Tuesday at 2.30 for Box Cem- etery. Men only.
