CANTERBURY’S HARVEST
EFFECT OF DRY SPELL A LESSENED YIELD (By Telegraph—Special to “The Mail") CHRISTCHURCH, 9th January. Useful to the farmers of Canterbury so far in bringing on their grain crops for harvest, the prolonged dry spell is now beginning to exert another and an inevitable effect, and a good rain would be very much welcome throughout the province. Signs of pinching in the grain are already evident, and unless rain comes there cannot but be a considerable lessening in the general yield which up to the present time had promised to be very good. In some cases even if rain does come there can scarcely be an escape from loss.
