The spring Drought.
COMPLAINTS AMONGST THE FARMERs-THE CROPS
SUFFERING FOB RAIN.

COMPLAINTS AMONGST THE FARMERs-rHE CROPS
SUFFERING Fob RAIN.
In conversation with number Of farmers in
attendance at the market, this morning, there
was general unxnimity OF opinion in regard to
the great need Of good soaking rain. The pas
lures and crops are suffering for want Of it, and
unless it comes soon there will be general
shortness Of early crops. Many springs which
are usually overlooking at this season OF the
year, are now entirely dry. aud many Of the
mill streams are 90 low that the mills cannot be
run to their full capacities.
This rather unusual state Of affairs is owing
not 30 much to the lack of rain falling during
the winter ~ to the fact that the ground waz
frozen SO hard that the water could not pene-
| trate the earth.
The general desire il for rain. Some want !
flood, others hurricane others gentle showers
but all want to soc rain in some shape or othe
| and plenty Of it.
