Hamilton, Ashburton. “The greatest wheat crop this State has ever seen,” is Pitt Street’s forecast (savs the Sydney correspondent of the Melbourne “Argus”). It is believed that almost every district has received all the rain it needs for a harvest tl at has never been equalled. “In some places,” says a city man who watones these things with an eye to general prosperitv, “the farmers have ploughed and harrowed and fertilised and planted for three years, only to miss the rain and the crop. That, at fust blush, seems to be all to the bad. but it is not—it is all to the good. Think of the effects of the working, the fallowing, and the fertilising of three years. All those effects should be discernible in the crop of this year, therefore it ought to be a bumper with a capital B.” Husband Startled.—Mr B. gave his wife 10/6 to buy him a shirt.

That is the opinion of a merchant, who came to Dunedin from that district on Thursday.
