1,911       Crop Report

 

The crops of this year were on the whole very good. Cutting was commenced early in August and with the exception of one wet week end the harvest was gathered in very fine weather. The summer was hot and fine thus favouring wheat and barley which were in many cases very good while oats were fair. Prices for corn were much better than for some years. Root crops were also good. Hay crops were light but of first class quality and in the spring of 1912 the price was very high. Pastures were good, stock doing remarkably well.
