SUNNY WEATHER & THE CROPS
[BX TILEGBAPH — SPECIAL XO THE POST.] FEILDINU, This Day. The sunshine, with full midsummer heat, ha* been with Feilding since Friday last, and this led one of our farmers to remark .yesterday that every day of this sunshine means thousands of pounds to the Feilding district. The shearing will be hastened, and harvesting and hay r making are now being done literally while the eun shines. A visitor who came through the 1 Sandon. district counted forty-five reapers and binders at work in the grass seed paddocks in that district famed for seed and grain growing. The ryegraee crop* have suffered by the sever© weather, and will not yield as heavily ac they vnould have d»ne under better circumstances. Grass is now so plentiful, even superabundant, everywhere, that there will be- no shortage of feed next winter.
