FAIRFAX (SOUTHLAND).
February 24.— We are on the verge of harvest, and not until now did we see tho damage done by the floods to the crops. The oats are almost useless, and a second growth is springing up among them. The wheat which was taken in the bloom is whiting but not ripening. Not a very cheerful prospect, considering the low price of grain and the high price of bags, which have to be given away by the unfortunate producer. The majority of farmers are thus dreadfully handicapped, and many of them, not being free agents, dare not complain, and have consequently to bear their troubles a3 best they may.
