Special Cable to The Tribune
DUBLIN, July 30.-A grave crisis In
deed faces Ireland! Oppression Is for
gotten temporarily, landlordism for the
nonce Is but ON unpleasant memoryI The
truth Is that, all along the western sea-
board from Belmullct TO Killerics and as
far inland as Crossmolina and Castlebar
blighting weather has ruined the potato
crop. Unless climatic conditions change
quickly the outlook for the seasons crop
OF potatoes Is extremely grave. The
heavy and continued rains, accompanied
by high winds, have beaten the vines to
the earth, where they have rotted and
died. In some of the low lying districts
potato fields are completely submerged.
The greatest anxiety also prevails for
the hay and oats crops, Fruit has also
suffered excessively.
