Lambing is now well advanced on the plains, and generally the percentage appears to be little lower than the average. One observer in the Ashburton district, however, told “Straggler” yesterday that there was an astonishing variation. On some farms which he knew doubles were a rarity, and on others in almost similar climatic and apparently feed conditions there appears to be a heavy percentage of twins. The general impression amongst farmers, is that last season's figures will scarcely be maintained on the low country, although the percentage is turning out better than predicted. It is expected that the high-countty crop will be smaller on account of the heavy snows in the late , winter.
