RAIN BADLY NEEDED.
CANTERBURY GRAIN CROPS. [bit telegraph.—press ASSOCIATION.} ASHBUKTON. Friday. Anxiety is felt for the grain crops owing to the recent dry, hot spell, and unless the weather breaks soon the oats will be ready to harvest before Christmas, with a light crop, while wheat, of which much is spring sown and backward, promises to ripen off with only sixty per cent, of the average yield. Pastures are also affected. One live stock man stated that a day's soaking rain would benefit him to the extent of £100.
