EAST COAST DROUGHT.
THE LOSS TO FARMERS. By Telegraph.—Pies® Associition. Napier, Last Night. The effects of the drought in Hawke’s Bay are being keenly felt. The country has a parched appearance and farmers have had to dispose of stock at low i prices. In the southern portion of the district and towards the ranges conditions are more satisfactory. The out- | look for the winter is apparently not so gloomy as might appear, for according to some authorities grass will grow in Hawke’s Bay any time after two or three inches of rain, even if frosts have been experienced. If a fair quantity of rain falls in May it is considered there will be no serious shortage of grass.
