June 20, 1919 Four years ago while farming at Lockhart, in New South Wales, Mr H. R. COLYER, of the Gardens, Goroke, had the misfortune to get a wild oat in his ear. An attempt at the time to remove the oat was unsuccessful, and Mr COLYER has been carrying the oat ever since. Lately he has been subject to dizziness, but whether he associated the trouble with the oat or not, we are not in a position to state, but at any rate wild oats are not desirable in any one's head. So on Monday last Mr COLYER consulted a medical man, who removed the oat, and it can be easily imagined that Mr COLYER is very glad and relieved.
