With tlio aid of two wire binders, Mr Guild has most of his oats in stack, and is pushing on rapidly with tlio wheat and with favorable/weather anticipates threshing in a fortnight, when some good returns may bo confidently looked forward to. The turnip crop 1 here (about 100 acres) is evidently suffering from grub or worm, and is not likely to, yield more than abeut two-thirds ol tlio expected returns, Mr Percy has about 150 acres undei crop, divided as follows: 90 wheat, 50 turnips, and 10 oats, The cereals arc in a very backward state, being in some places quite green, and havo not such a promising appearance as his last year's crops, This is somo of the land the weather has not suited, but even now, with a temporising season, the ripening may upset calculations and a very good crop result, The turnips as a whole.look fairly, well, although the inevitable bare patches aro to be seen in the paddocks. Mr Cave has not gone in so extensively for cropping this year, only having about 20 acres of wheat and 10 of 'oats. They have a very clean appearance, with the promise of a fail return. The natives of To Ore Ore liavt jkont 600 acres, principally wheat, "lis is about 100 acres moro than they farmed last year.. The crops are very patchy. In sonic places the docks have gained complete mastery over "them, ami the returns, when all expenses arc paid, will show n'balance on-the wrong side; In some cases they will have splendid crops, this is where there has been a little extra labor bestowed oil the land, but in others it would be dilfi cult to tell whether wheat, oats, oi dock.! was intended to be the crop, sc much are the three blended. Tlio natives appear to havo a vorj good idea of farming, but like every thing else they go in for, they ease of with the labor part of it just when ii is necessary, In the present cases t littlo more harrowing would have hat a very good effect on the maturity o the crops. Mr Buddcn turned up about fiftj acres, which was put down in mixei crops, comprising 25 wheat, 12 oats, i barley, 3 pens, and 1 linseed. Tin wheat will make a fair average return all but about throe acres being ver good. The oats have the appearand of turning out about 35 bushels to tin acre Owing to the havoc played b] the sparrows among the young baric; in the spring, this crop will not yiel* half the usual returns, Mr Budden no expecting to get more than 15 bushel to the acre The peas were a patch] crop—very heavy in some places am as light in others. The linseed has: first class appearance and judging fror tlio well-formed heads, should prove jiaying speculation, (To be continued.)
