The almost unparalleled rains of the last four days following the period of unprecedented drought should react favourably on the suffering root crops and pasture land, in the opinion of Dr. J. A. Clark, Superintendent of the Ex- pcrinieiiiui Farm. Although the tops of the root. crops have shown visibly the effects of the dry weather the moisture came in time to save the situation. “The rain will be a vary great help to triangles, turnips, corn and pas- tures in my opinion," states Dr. Clark, “and it improves the pros- pects for the potato crop. If grow- ers have sprayed consistently, their ficids should not suffer from blight. Green Mountains should receive much benefit from the moisture, but many fields of Cob- blers arc dying Or are dead.
