COCKSFOOT HARVEST
HEAVY-SHORTAGE REPORTED. ■ -The Peninsula crop of cocksfoot should be, harvested at-the ond of this week if tflio present good, conditions prevail. Everywhere reports come of shortage in crops. Growers declare (says tha Aka-roa "Mail' 1 ) that when cutting they anticipated as heavy a crop as last year, but the seed is falling far..short." In one paddock where '12 bags were, obtained last year only 15 were gathered this' year. In another case one large pj»ldook which was full of fog only yielded a third of last year's crop. The seed is very light in most cases, : the presence of fog accounting for its lightness. Some good heavy crops have been harvested, but they are few and far between.
