[No. 53

The cold of the latter part of the month and the frosty nights during the first half had an adverse effect on pastures. Consequently, though stock remained, on the whole, in good condition, supplementary feeding had to be resorted to in some districts. The rain, too, came too late to cause any appreciable response in growth of vegetation, so that the outlook for winter feed is far from encouraging, more particularly in the eastern districts. On the other hand, it permitted the carrying-out of agricultural work which had been seriously retarded by the prolonged dryness of the soil.
