EXPORTING GRAIN.
(to THE EDITOR OB THE NEW ZEALAND MAIL.) gi Ej —l have just received a letter from my brother, who occupies a farm in Warwickshire, from which the following is an extract : “ We have had a very short rainfall during the past fifteen months, and the last was the driest summer I ever remember to have seen. There was no grass or hay, and the grain crops have been very deficient on light land, and the consequence is that prices rule high for dairy and farm produce. Wheat is now telling at 62s the quarter, and as you export grain from New Zealand to London, you may reap a benefit from our misfortunes. —Yours, &c, M. W.
[We are obliged to our correspondent for sending us the above extract, but ,we do not think it will pay to grow wheat in New Zealand for exportation to England. In this province we do not at present grow sufficient for home consumption. The reason why is well worth discussing by our correspondents.— Ed. N.Z. Mail.]
