INCREASE IN WHEAT YIELD
BENEFICIAL RAINS. That the rains prevailing throughout the wheat belt should _ considerably increase the yield of New South Wales was the consensus of opinion in the wheat trade in Sydney lasi week. One leading exporter stated that the yield should benefit to the extent of 6,000,000 bushels, in which case, according’ to his calculations, tlio total crop should be in tho vicinity of 37,000,000 to 38,000,000 bushels. In certain districts whoer the crops are already being harvested or nearly ripe—principally in the north-west and parts of the west —some damage might be done. Delay In harvesting will be Inevitable and the grain in cases will probably be bleached. The Riverina and southern districts In particular will gain, as harvesting is later in the south than elsewhere, and the crops are just at the stage when rain will make a vast difference Ip. the yield.
