Canterbury. —The Honorata correspondent of the Canterbury Prtw writes :— ' ' The proportion of each kind of grain is about the same as last season, though, if anything, there seems to be more barley than last yean On several farms the wheat gives a promise of far exceeding the average, and, in many, of giving an extraordinary fine yield. On one farm, belonging to Mr Thomas Ward, tbtre is a field of wheat (Stansell white;, sown on 28th May last, about 15 acre*, which,- in the opinion of experienced judges of such matters, will yield sixty nusnel< to the- acre, if the weather, till harvest, should prove favorable. It is beautifully even, and it is rare indeed to see suc'a a field of wheat hereabouts, or indeed anywhere. Last year this particular field was one mass of sorrel. But the indefatigalle ploughing, Ac., which was expended on it, promises indeed to fully repay Mr Ward."
