THE BRITISH CROPS Ps-WORsE AND WORSE.
John Joseph Mechi, noted scientific

lows: Another week of flooding storms
and low mperature has put the finishing
stroke TO agricultural disaster. Il is now
too late for the crops to recover. They are
considerably injured even on well farmed
and drained lands, while on ill-iarmed and
undraiued lands the matter is simply
ruinous. Wheat will suffer less than the
spring crop wedding is hopeless and unless
we get promised hot dry weather many
grass and clover crops and even peas will
rot ungathered."
