AGRICULTURAL AND PASTORAL.
The returns of agricultural produce for the present season has been the most prolific since the foundation of the Province. From all sourcSs the same gratifiying intelligence reaches us, of the abundant harvest, and the large yield . of crops of all descriptions. The weather, too, has been all that could have been desired. The pastoral interest also has given abundant proofs of the prolific nature of the soil of Southland for growing wool. The lambing has been higher this season than for many years past. We believe we are under the mark when we mention 75 per cent as the average all over the Province; when it is taken into consideration that in the neighboring colonies of Victoria, New South Wales, &c, that the average lambing scarcely exceeds, 50 per cent, it will be seen how admirably this province is adapted for the growth of our staple produce — wool. There is an increase this year of upwards of 1,500 bales upon last years clip. The total number of bales expected to be shipped this year will be about 5,500. »
