THE COCKSFOOT CROP.
The cocksfoot crop on the Peninsula will be very late thi,s season, says the Lyttelton Times, and it is expected to be quite the middle of January before any cutting is done. The crops in many places look splendid, and good yields are anticipated, but in some parts, owing to the hard grazing during the past autumn and winter, the crop is very thin and full of rubbish. In many paddocks the long spell of wet weather has caused a prolific growth of tares, which will greatly impede the reaping of the cocksfoot. However, given fine weather for ripening and harvesting the local experts predict a good average crop.
