CROPS ROUND NELSON.
Crops in the country districts are now. coming_ along splendidly (states the Nelson "Colonist").' Those who ventured the. experiment, . of/sowing their barley in the ■ autumn are so far highly pleased. The crops were favoured by tho mild winter, and are now well advanced, and judging from appearances, will\ be ready for harvesting-af the'end of the year. However, the most noticeable feature in the farming _ districts is the great care and attention being devoted to tho orchards. In a number of cases old fruit trees have been bodily rooted out by means of the traction engine, and it' may_ be safely asserted thai there is hot a locality but shows new plantations. While a few years ago a great many planted stone fruits, the tendency this season at any rate is to plant largely standard varieties of apples and pears. ' ' * 1
