THE WEATHER IN THE NORTH. MALTON,
Wednesday, May B.—The weather here is indicative of a
second winter rather than the approach of summer. For
several weeks we have had biting, cold north-east winds,
which have seriously retarded the growth of the crops,
more especially in the pastures. The last week has been
one of extraordinary cold, the nights befng also frosty.
To-day (and for some days past, at intervals) we have had
some snowfalls, the moors and wolds this morning being
white as in mid-winter, and even in the town snow lay for
some hours before sunrise. The reports from the country
speak of the almost total destruction of the apple blossom,
other descriptions of fruit trees being less injured. Early
though suffering from the cold and drought,
potatoes are all cut down, almost without exception. The
arecer kelaolocriong ps'well on the average, and would with rain and
warmth assume an appearance of great promise. The
breadth of wheat sown is, however, below an average, and
trodden and baked that the plough is
in some districts the fallows which have been folded with
sheep
useless,
must in some degree lessen the acreage of
the spring corn crops.
Clovers are Very healthy, but the
want of grass causes farmers to oyerstock them, Lambs
ar e
and
so
this hard
ra
are 4 fair average QM'
