GOOD HARVEST PROSPECTS. ESTIMATE, 50,000,000 BUSHELS. A. and N.Z. SYDNEY, Dec. 9. After an extended tour of the wheal area of the State, the agricultural editor of the Sydney Daily Telegraph says that should nothing. untoward in the way of weather, intervene during the next three or four weeks, an excellent harvest is assured.

The previous record was 17.8 bushels per acre. The writer forecasts an 18bushel harvest, and'predicts that the total yield will be well over 50,000,000 bushels.
