DARFIELD.

Our Darfield correspondent wrote yesterday evening:—After the brief interval of two days' fine weather, we are experiencing a further spell of wet, this time from tlie north-east, with a warm and close atmosphere, the weather most dreaded by farmers at this particular season of tho year. Only .14 inch fell up to 4 p.m. yesterday, but the weather is still cloudy and threatening. This month has been exceptionally wet, the total rainfall recorded up to to-day being 5.59 inches, a striking contrast to what was experienced twelve months ago. Root crops still continue to make wonderful progress .there heing no lack of moisture. Although the season has beon so wot, a good deal of threshing from the stook _* being aooomiplished, but -most of tho crops will go into stack, as farmers appear to bo unwilling to take undue risks. Somo very good yields ure expected, but returns are slow on coming to hand. Mr "VV. F. Clinton has just Enisiied threshing 23 acres of Algerian oats, averaging GO bushels, although a considerable quantity of grain was shaken out by recent heavy gales. Mr Donald Gillandars has threshed a 20-acro paddock of Algerians, averaging 68 bushels, tlie straw being nearly six feet high.
