Agricultural Notes.
» At Pihftma (Chriatohurcb) Mr S. Campbell has had a phenomenal crop of oats on hit plaoe this season, it being from Bft to 10ft high. Ie was impossible to get a reaper and binder to touch it, so that he had to get it cut with an ordinary reaping machine. Some of the crops in the Stadown district are, says the Timaru Herald, giving very small returns. Oae en p threshed a3 low as 2$ bushels to the acre ; another 60 acres yielded 5 bushels ; a two hundred aore block it estimated to return 4 buihel?. and several other crops are nearly as bad. On the beach ride of the railway thert
are gome good crops, In one case a3 high as 80 bushels of oats to the acre ; in another 60 bushels of wheat. An immense amount of grain was shaken out by the nor'- westers; in some crops fully half was lost.
