ALONG THE MANAWATU LINE

Shared note	ALONG THE MANAWATU LINE Evening Post, Volume LXI, Issue 8, 10 January 1901, Page 2 BY TELEGRAPH — OWN CORRESPONDENT. LEVIN, 9th January. Mr. R. Prouse, President of the Horowhenua Boating Club, has presented the club with an excellent pleasure boat. The club has not held any regatta this season owing to some of the boats being in need of repairs. They are now in fit condition, and it is probable that next month the Horowhenua Lake will be the scene of several local contests. It does not appear to be generally known that this splendid sheet of water, two and a quarter miles long and a mile and a quarter broad, is just a mile from the town of Levin, and well suited for championship rowing matches. The Horowhenua Boating Club did intend to send in a claim for these events to be rowed off here last year, but the expense was considered rather too great. This year, however, may see an application sent in. The Farmer of to-day publishes some interesting particulars of an oat crop on 14 acres belonging to Mr. R. Prouse. Year after year for eight years past the land has yielded heavy oat crops. Last year the quantity was 33 tons, and this year the yield bids fair to be heavier. This shows how land repays the owner when proper care is bestowed upon it. Mr. Prouse uses root manure from Longburn, and the ashes of sawdust after they have been through the furnace at the sawmill.
