RAIN BADLY NEEDED.
CATTLE FEED * SHORT,
"WORST FOR EIGHT YEARS."
(I3y Telegraph.—Prcs Association.)
PALMERSTON N., this day
Stating that at present farmers arc just struggling along with what feed is available for their stock, the Director of the Fields Division, Mr. Deem, to-day described the present spell of dry weather as the worst experienced at this time in the season for eight or ten years.
"Rain is wanted very badly," he said, "but other parts are much' drier than the Manawatu, particularly in the South Island. The backward conditions throughout the Dominion are attributable to the cold spring and the easterly winds carrying no moisture. Unless there is rain soon feed for dairy cattle will bo very short. The present weather is quite favourable for sheep farming.
