DROUGHT IN NEW SOUTH WALES
OUTLOOK REGARDED AS GLOOMY. Sydney, August 1. " • The "Sydney Morning Herald" that owing, to the .failure of a large measure of the usual winter rains, pastoralists and wheatgrowers regard tho icomuig season's outlook as gloomy; In many places pastures are bare,, and heavy frosts and cold are causing severe suffering and loss among the half-starved stock. The possibilities of a satisfactory wheat crop depend upon the rainfall in tho next few weeks. In many districts there is a distinct browning off due to the drought, but the spring rains may bring the crops forward. The only hopeful feature is a marked diminution in the rabbit pest, tie result of the' drought and the extensive operations of trappors, who are taking advantage of tlie high price for skins and the demand for carcasses in view of the dearness of meat.—Press Assn.
