The weather which was fair up to the middle of June was wet & cold from that time till the end of the year.The corn crops which looked well in July ripened very slowly. Wheat & Barley were poor to medium. Oats very fair.Harvest started the last four days in August dragged on well into October.Much of the corn was led in only medium condition.Hay was a medium crop carried in poor condition.Root crops are on the whole good. We have some very good Swedes. Soft turnips fair. Potatoes bulky crop but a lot of bad owing to the cold & wet.Live stock fed very badly and a good number of lambs died in early Autumn.
