/ ' AdEioULTTJEAIi PEOSPECTB IN GEBAT BeitAiit.^— ln an article m the Fortnightal Review 'it-is stated that by general consent the egriculcural interest m G-ea-tB-itain is admitted to beat the present time m a condition of- depiessioii. La'nchx'ds feel it through the difficulty which they expedience is geiting thei: rents ; bankers know it by the incontestible evidence of overdrawn accounts; and tradesmen suffer from it 'ri the diminution of sales and m the postnonement of settlements. Nor is the. crists at all of the "nat.'.re of a surprise. On the contrary, the article-pbints out that it has been slowly approaching for the last tea years,' and rapidly for the last four. At least ..his has been case m corn-growing districts of England. Jn pastorardistricts the degression is of recent date, and even now is Vmrif'-' lessserious than where the land- is chiefly arable. Thus Scotland, which depends less on corn-growing than England/has suffered •■ less, while Wales and Iveland have, .unt'l quite recently, scarcely suffered at all. Sear sons which are unsuitable to "cereal cops are generally propitious for -the 'growth of grass and ro^ts.; and although thefrequent failures of the potato crop have caused ruin tp manT; Scotch farmers', f^nd the preva'ence of cattle /disease, up to a compa^tively recent date, has been a serious matter to stock farmers, the heaviest losses have fallen upon those who look to their corn crop as their chief source of profit.
