THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST. —The brilliant
weather of the first tew days of last week was universally
welcome, and under its influence rapid progress was
made in harvest work, and • very lam breadth of wheat
and oats cut. The soaking rains of Thursday pot a check
to affairs, and although Friday was dry there was little
son. Still progress in reaping vu made, and by Bator-
der night the week's work must have made a considerable
" hobs" into harvest. Sunday was again unfortunately
wet, but the weather yesterday wee all that
could be wished, beinf sunny, with a high tem-
perature and light drying breezes. Some few NM.
pies of new wheat have found their way to market,
but only in moderate condition. On the whole, the
accounts to hand do not speak so favourably of the pro-
bable 'aid as the estimate formed • few weeks back
seemed to warrant. The turnips and mangolds have
greatly benefited by the late rains—and the same may be
said of the pastures and second crops of clover—which are
looking remarkably luxuriant. From the hop districts the
reports come infinitely better. What with the warm
weather and the recent rains the gardens have apparently
taken out " a new lease," so great is the start that has
been made. Quality is an sesentisl point as well as quan-
tity, acd to this end warm weather to produce fruit and a
fine picking, must prevail. According to all appearances
the Sussex hop growers seem to be more favoured at pre-
sent than their neighbours in Kent.—Sussex Advertise..
