Notes:

DEATH OF AN OLD COLONIST
The Representative announces the death of an old and esteemed colonist. Mr. Frederick HALSE died on his farm “Carnarvon” on the 15th inst, in his 65th year. The career of this lamented deceased is thus sketched: “His main object in life was to strive after the practical and the useful – to benefit those around him and at the same time to benefit himself. In early life he fully recognised the fact that the agricultural development of this country was in its merest infancy, and moreover that scientific agricultural development was an indispensable basis upon which to build the future greatness of a self-supporting African Empire. All who knew the farm “Groot Vlei” of fifteen years ago, the “Carnarvon Farm” of today, will recognise the magic transformation. The desert has become an oasis, encircled by over twenty miles of stone walls and wire fences. The mountain torrents of the Andries Berg he, as far as practicable, arrested and diverted into a reservoir capable of holding nearly a million gallons of water, being made available for the irrigation of some 750 acres of arable land; the result being that, whereas in former years 100 bags of wheat were considered an enormous crop, thousands are now annually reaped, threshed and ground, and this done by the latest and most approved machinery, in which line Mr. HALSE was undoubtedly one of the pioneers in this part of the Colony; amongst other things, we believe, the first private gentleman who invested in steam-threshing machinery, which example is now being followed everywhere. One swallow, it is said, cannot make a summer, nevertheless it is marvellous how the influence of one energetic and go-ahead nature can, and does, stimulate and arouse those associated with it. The conclusion is not a difficult one. The unquestionably active influence of half a dozen such men exercised in each district of the Colony would, in a very few years, demand an emphatic veto on all hazy, harassing and, above all, unwarrantable protective legislation. The ‘cheap loaf’ problem would then emerge from the nebulous haze of schemes and be reduced to the anvil of work-a-day facts.
