Drought conditions in Australia, with their effect on vegetable crops not easily irrigable, have prompted a few Auckland growers to make experimental shipments, chiefly of cabbages, across the TasirXm From present information it appears that only those crops not easily watered, such as cabbages, onions and other root vegetables. have suffered to any extent from the drought, and the market for these is being tested. With heavy supplies of vegetables offering on the local market, an outlet in Australia would be of advantage to growers, as prices generally are low. Cabbage exports are not likely to be heavy, as the vegetable is not popular as a summer dish, and the experiment should not materially affect local prices.
