(By Telegrapfi.) (Special to the "Evening Post")
DUNEDINV This Day.
An exceptionally dry spell—the longest in living memory—is being experienced in the farming district between Milburn and Pukerau. Although rain has fallen in Canterbury, North Otago, and Southland; and to some extent has relieved the dry ness in those districts, there have-been no 6howers; in the above area. .. \
Throughout the South Otago districf, including- Greenfield, .Clyde vale, Tuapeka; West Balclutha,;; and 'Milton, both swede and^rape crops, are badly affected, arid roots are . not - showing any growth.' Farmers: are now looking for outside gra?irig for their sheep, which is most unusual, as these districts have always been'able to carry stock. ~' ■. ■- ■ -■'■■■'- .'-'■-■■ -■■
