POTATO CROPS FAIL.
AUSTRALIAN CONDITIONS.
CONTINUED DRY WEATHER.
IMPORT FROM DOMINION LIKELY
(Per Press Association —Copyright.) (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Owing to the continued dry condition through much of the potato-producing districts in the State, the prospects of a high /average yield, which seemed possible in the early part of the year, have been completely altered. Reports from Tasmania and Victoria also indicate greatly reduced yields. The Department of Agriculture is of opinion that it is quite possible potatoes may have to be imported from New Zealand.
