JANUARY WEATHER
HARVESTING DELAYED In January, as in the three preceding months, there were no really settled spells, says the official report issued by the Meteorological Office, although occasional pleasant days were experienced. Cool, changeable conditions predominated, the weather being frequently cloudy and at times humid. Well-distributed rain has given benefit to crops, which have shown good growth. Hay has been spoilt by the wet, and harvesting has suffered many delays, although a considerable quantity of grain has now been stacked. Feed is plentiful, although rather soft in places. Stock are in good condition, and lambs are reported to have fattened well.
