Marlborough and Nelson.—The prospects for grain crops are good, but root crops are suffering from dry weather. Potatoes promise to be very fair.
Canterbury.—Wheat is doing better than oats, and cocksfoot is expected to be well over the average. Potatoes, which for some time were looking only moderately well, are improving.
Otago.—On the whole corn crops are light; potatoes and turnips only medium.
Southland.—Yields of wheat, oats, and rye-grass will be considerably less than last year, while potatoes, turnips, and mangolds will probably be much better.
Estimated Total Yields.—According to the returns furnished the total estimated yield of the principal crops will be approximately as given below. It should be remembered that the estimate is based on a collection of returns by post.
