FARMING NEWS.
RURAL RAKINS. Approximately 30,296 bales ■mil be offered at the first Wanganui wool sale of the 1937-38 season to-morrow. Farmers in some districts of Canterbury are likely to experience a fair amount of trouble when they are cutting wheat and barley. The heavy rains early last week flattened .the grain in some paddocks, with the result that the stalks became tangled. Early potato orops in Taranaki have been particularly good this season, the yield having been better than for some years past. Early crops escaped the blight, but later plantings have been affected in some instances so badly that it is thought the crops will hardly be worth digging.
