On Monday night a severe thunderstorm was experienced, accompanied by a heavy downpour. Some crops were weighed down for a time, but recovered in the sunshine that followed. The rain was warm, and did an immense amount ol good to root crops. Early-sown turnips and rape are doing well, and some tape crops are ready for feeding off. There is an abundant supply of feed at present; and good drafts of fat lambs are being got away.
