Heavy Wheat Crops.
The rainfall just before Christmas laid low several crops of oats on farms in the Temuka district, and, as the heads are heavy, it is doubtful if the reaping machines will be able to oper ate easily in these areas. Speaking nt the crop prospects in the Temuk surrounding district, one farmer wide experience said that in Titriet, which embraces the area, be tween the Rangitata River and Cig '' I boye, he estimates the wheat crops to ; return between 35 and 40 bushels an i acre. Not for many seasons past has ■ he seen such a prolific growth of grass ; as at present. Haymaking is now in ‘ full swing, and in some areas near | Temuka the grass will have to be mown j a second .time. There will be a abundance of feed for the farmers to store for winter use.
