JOTTINGS FOR FARMERS.
There is a great dearth of shearers in South Canterbury this season; in fact there is a shortage of both machine and blade hands from Dunedin to Christchureh (says the Timaru "Post"). This is mainly attributable to so few Australian shearers having como over to Now Zealand on account of the strike, but is also contributed to in a larero measure by the wet weather which has prevailed all over the South Island lately. In or-rlinary circumstances North Canterbury cuts out before shearing in the south is over, and tbo men come south to help, but this has not been the case this season.
