says: From all parts of West Clare
there are woeful reports of the dis
astrous condition of all the crops and
the misery that will result therefrom
this winter and in the spring months
both to the smaller class of farmers
and the laborers. This grave matter
was the subject of much consideration
at the last meeting of the Kilrush
board of guardians. In several dis
tracts the potatoes are, for the most
part, black and rotten in the ground,
and it is deplorable to see tie condi-
ton of the hay crop. The recent
storms completed the destruction; the
mangolds are a failure, while the oats
are shelled and 'laid'' and rendered
useless by the continued storms and
rains.
