The Leeds Mercury has published long list
of reports on the prospects Of the hay and corn

Barley and oats are also well spoken of. Wheat
IN many districts is said to be thin in others
to be good crop, Almost every report men
tons the need of more sunshine to perfect the
corn, and there is no doubt as to the urgent ne
cessity for warm, sunny weather If this cold,
wet period should be continued another fort
night, the prospects of a fair harvest will be
to very serious extent blighted. The fact is
that over large portion of the country the
prospects of farmers have been getting worse
and worse as the season has advanced At the
present time the chance of an average yield Of
crops generally seems TO be very small. In
many parts of the country no doubt there will
