tains a good condition and has made

the crop has been laid by. and some
fields are in tassel.
Oats are mostly harvested in the
central and southern districts with an
average good yield. In the northern
district the crop is fast turning ripe
and harvest will be general during
the ensuing week with n promising
outlook. Rye is in shock Barley is
being harvested with a promising
yield. The harvesting and threshing of
wheat has been seriously hindered by
wet weather. and n considerable
quantity has been damaged in shock.
Haying has progressed as weather

Meager reports indicate q promising

been improved by rains. Grapes are
highly promising. The general outlook
for apples is poor. Gardens have been
revived and are yielding well. Pota-
