THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST.

We have at last splendid summer weather. Al-
ready the benefit of the change has been expesiseeed. A
large breadth of hay has been got up in capital condition.
The grain crops are fast beginning to change colour, and
very few days more of bright sunshine will bring the wheat
rapidly forward, and lead to the harvest being commenced
much earlier than was anticipated ■ week ago. The reports
as to the crops are various and conflicting. It is
pretty generally asserted that the wheat has suffered.
and that, owing to the blooming time being very unfa-
vourable, the ears are badly filled, whilst the cold and
ungenial weather has partially blighted them. The
crop, however (some say owing to the thin plant),
stands welltup, and has not suffered so much as usual in
ordinary years from storms, very little laid corn being to be
seen. Barley and oats promise well, the latter particularly,
and we saw this week a few plants of this grain standing
6 feet 8 inches from root to ear, the straw being as thick as
a reed. Of course this is a mere exceptional cue, but as a
rule the oats are looking uncommonly wall. The potato
disease has partially made its appearance, but to no great
extent, and the present dry and hot weather will, it is to
belhoped, prevent the spread of the eviL
From the hop districts the accounts are somewhat varied.
From Hertfordshire and Worcestershire the reports are
unfavourable, but our Kent and Sussex correspondents
write hopefully. As we have frequently remarked this
season, the pleat has been this year singularly exempt from
attacks of vermin or disease, and we hops we may there-
fore augur that it is in vegetable as in animal life, viz., that
a healthy infancy and youth will probably result in a robust
maturity.—Sugars Advertiser.
