South Canterbury Farms
CROPS NOW TURNING BROWN
(By Telegrapb-
^ CHEISTOHUECH, Last Night. Eeports coming to hand from t!he outlying districts of South Canterbury state that shearing has commenced on many of the up-country stations. The dry weather is now hecoming serious. The dry north-westerly winds are making matters worse for the farmers. Those who have recently been in the Mackenzie Country on brief visits report that there has been a much greater mortality this year among ewes.during lambing, which is probably. due to the sudden changes of weather. Spring-sown corps are showing signs of turning brown, and, according to one grazier of wide experience, probably never before in the history of. South Canterbury was irrigation needed more than it is now. TJnless a change comes soon, the sheep on the light lands will lose condition, and it is quite probable that some bocks will have to he sent. away to other localities.
