GLEANINGS
It is reported that many of the early crops of Algerian oats in North Canterbury have suffered severely from the heavy* nor’-west gales that have prevailed lately. Some fields that promised heavy yields have been almost stripped of graiu, and will barely pay for threshing. A visitor from the South states that cocksfoot harvesting operations are being vigorously pushed on with on the Peninsula. There is every prospect of a good crop of seed this year, but a dearth of labour will probably prevent a great deal of the seed from being saved. Ono and ninepenco per hour is being offered for cutters, but the supply of men is far short of requirements.
