COMLEROY.
This district looks splendid, and there is plenty of bloom for next season. All hands admit this is about the best spring ever experienced about the Kurrajong. Messrs Percy Norris, Guy Hungerford, Fred Norris, W. Turner, and W. London each have a nice bit of citrus fruit left yet. There are also some nice crops of peas which were started on this week. Mr Percy Norris. has about 2 acres as good as could be looked at, and Mr Anthony Quinn has a few acres that will be fit to pull about a week hence. They are worth looking at. Labor in the district is very scarce indeed. Men that handle the plough and hoe are apparently more independent than the owners of orchards. There is to be a meeting of the promoters of the Woodtraders' picnic, at Mrs Phipps' Exchange Hotel, North Richmond, on Wednesday next, to see about the annual sports, the date of which is approaching. They usually have a good day's sports - bicycle racing, woodchopping, running, jumping, etc. Until the committee meets on Wednesday next they do not know what they will do this time.
