THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

The preparations for autumn sowing have made fair
progress during the past week, the weather having been
very favourable for out-door labours. The whole of the
corn crops have now been secured, and the season having
been brilliant throughout, they have been gathered in
unusually fine condition. Potato lifting has made progress,
and the results of the yield are better than was at one
time anticipated. It is thought that the return may
yet prove an average one, though complaints are
occasionally prevalent of the presence of disease.
Still potatoes, in common with most other root
crops, have not suffered to the extent that
might have been reasonably expected: from the long-
continued drought. Turnips, except in some districts,
where they have suffered much from the fly, have im-
proved, while mangolds and swedes promise a favourable
return. Farmers have thrashed out most kinds of grain
liberally throughout the week, and the deliveries—more
particularly of barley—have been on the increase.—Bell's
Messenger.

The Magnet says harvest work has now been about
brought.to a conclusion, and despite the gloomy fore-
bodings entertained at the commencement of the
season of a failure of the crops from the severe
draught, the result on the whole has not been
unfavourable. Certainly the spring corn crops
have fallen short of the average to the extent in
some instances of about 30 per cent., but the general
good quality of the produce, and the excellent condition
in which it has been secured, will in some measure
counterbalance the shortcomings of a deficient yield.
On all sides the yield of wheat is allowed to be good,
both as regards quality and quantity, the return being
about an average for the acreage under this grain. Re-
freshing showers have fallen in most parts of the country
during the week, and have imparted a fresh stimulus to
vegetation, but the pastures and meadow lands, although
shewing signs of improvement, are still in a very unsatis-
factery condition, and afford but a very poor feed to
cattle. The root crops are progressing, and an average
return is anticipated.
The brilliant weather which we have had for a fort-
night has unfortunately lasted but too long. The late
rains being inadequate and followed by cold frosty
nights, the grass in many meadows has gone back, and
the ponds have become empty, orlowandmuddy. The tur-
nips have made but little progress, and it is the same with
established root-crops, the soil having got so harsh and
dry, that we have approached the confines of a second
drought. There is, indeed, plenty of time for wheat-
sowing, and a few warm showers would do great things,
but they are slow in coming. As regards wheat prices,
the week has been a period of rest, the inactivity of
London, in spite of a foreign inquiry, checking the greater
elasticity of the country.—Mark, Lane Express.
