FARMERS STARVED OUT.
Ajjelaide, February Bth. The exodus from Tout Adelaide during the weok ending last Saturday exceeded; theinflux by eigjibyreigjit. What ia even, worse than tho exotlUs by sea is tha continuous depletion, of farming districts which is now. taking place. High rents and worn-oat land- are driving agriculture ists from settled districts in the south,, and rabbits, drought, and the proven.impossibility of growing wheat are sending away settler? from the new hundreds in the dry north-east. The principal goal oftthese immigrants is the north-western country, of Victoria. On Mondhy quite a small oarar van of fanners,, with their families, Waggons, and. stock,, left Willingra district overland for the \Tsmmera. Pitiable-tales-come from, tho no.i-.th, coast, where aeleotors have been starving, along for six or sevoni years past, toiling against hope in the faceof a pitiless olimate, which refuses tojbringf. the parched wheat plant to maturity. There is also considerable exodus of agriculturists from Yorke's Peninsula.
