AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

The week again opened with fine weather, and.
Monday proved a favourable day for haymaking ; with the
thermometer up to 70 degrees, it was also suitable for the
wheat plant. Tuesday also opened fair and promising, but
there were slight showers at 1 p.m., and heavy rain at S
p.m. ; wind S.S.W. Our advice' on that day from Lincoln.
shire say, " The weather has been variable during the past
week, but the last thies days have been warm and sunshiny;
wind &W." From Suffolk the same day, "The weather
was sultry and fine." Wednesday morning was fair, but
cloudy at intervals, and broineter falling; wind S.S.W.
A heavy thunderstorm was experienced at 4 p.m..
which lasted about an hour, and for a short
time luge Undone* fell. These would remind many
farmers that they were not insured against such storms,
although the Goat is trifling. Our advice. from Nottieg-
bamshire oo that may :—" We bays had several sunny days
during the pest week, and the wheat plant has been bene-
fited. It is now in full ear, and should the weather eon-
tinue floe, harvest prospects would greatly improve. Barley
varies, and in some places the plant is indifferently spoken
of. A great deal of hay has been carried label last weak, is
fair condition. Turnips are doing pretty well. Nueva.'
wurzel is not in a satisfactory state. Otte and beans are
fairly reported of." From the east coast of Scotland on
the same day it wee observed :—" Farmers say if they
were only to bays six weeks of nosy weather, they would
raw • fair crop. They don't seem to think/ much
damage done yet, but we cannot fancy after such •
summer the crop can be uninjured. The weather
continues showery, but the temperature is milder'
bright Bumbler for some weeks is much to be desired."
Thursday lasted fair warty all day ; but at sp.m. there was
rain, and the night proved wet; win soetheouth.weet. Our
advice. on that day were very interesting. From the coed
of Suffolk it was observed :—" We have alternate days at
wet and sunshine, and our crops make very slow progrees
to maturity. The wheat crop especially is oomplained of,
and will be very defective on some leads." From Innen-
shire, on the same day, it waa stated :—"For one flee day
we have three days of broken weather, and the wheat
mikes slow programs, end is looking worse than it did."
From the interior of Suffolk it was remarked :—" Since
Saturday the weather boa been fine, enabling the farmers
to secure a 000siderable breadth of hay in good order.
The Talavera and early white wheat' are affected
by various disease., which will seriously diminish the
yield. The wheat erne generally present • mere promising
appearance, and we think sunshine would woe silence com-
plaints, and posidtily give us a fair average crop." This is
rather hopeful, after stall the complaints about Tay
s:a
and early white wheats as rot alluded to. Friday was •
favourable day ; wind N. ~ helping the farmers to cart
hay, where not finished, and doing good to the grain crops.
From the West Riding of Yorkshire:—" Up to this time
(6 o'clock p.m.) no rain today, which is something rather
remarkable." Saturday proved a favourable day, very slight
rain ; wind S.&W. again. On the whole the weather has
been more favourable in this than during last week ; and
although our edvicesepeak of little progress to. maturity in
the crops Kennelly, yet our nest rosy give some favourshle
effects in appearance. The higher temperature must do
much good, and give more cheering hopes for the future.
Amounts of the first cutting of Talavera wheat will be
esteemed ea • favour, and that period we Awry is close at
haod.—Maredene Express.
