Exited Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH. January 7. The ram which fell throughout Canterbury during the last couple of day* has greatly improved the agricultural outlook of the grain crops. Pastures were beginning to show the effects of continued dry weather, and in some cases the crops promised poor returns, especially those sown late in the season, while turnips, rape, and similar crops were making little progress. 1 he rain has entirely changed the outlook, and will result in incalculable benefit to farmers and agriculturists.
