A gentleman, who is keenly Interested in grain-growing. hits made :a' tour of a i large part of South Canterbury (says the Oamaru “Mail”), He says that a larger area is under. wheat than last year, and that the appearance of tho crops is exceptionally good. The growth of the autumn and winter wheat is strong without being rank, Yim crops are well packed, and wear a healthv green colour that creates a hope of rich • yields. The spring wheat has conio ' away well, and is brairded very nicely. , and also presents a most encouraging appearance. The same remarks cannot be applied to the crops of oats, which i have evidently had too much moisture, and cold weather following rain, ami show a lot of yellowness. The warm sunshine now being experienced will arrest I this tendency, and improve the outlook for yields. Summing up. this gentleman states that, ho has never seen grain I crops, and wheat, looking hotter than at present. Feed is gener- : allv abundant, and the season all round , gives promise of proving an unusually i good one for farmers. ,
