THE London Times, the 10th. COM
menting on the crops of England, says:
The conclusion on the whole case is
that the present year will be disas-

will be no adequate set-off in any other
crop. The outlook for the winter is
gloomy for all classes, and il becomes a
grave question how many farmers will
be able to struggle through it.
