Good plant of wheat which promised well, but ungenial 

 weather in June and July caused a very bad yield. Began 

 mowing clover June i ; finished haymaking July 28. 

 Great quantity of hay put together in a bad state ; very 

 little made well. Worst lot of hay I ever recollect. Cold 

 and wet season. Began harvest August 16; finished 

 September 14. Favourable time for harvest. Barley 

 much laid with the wet and storms ; never remember it 

 so bad. Wheat bright in the straw, but small crop. Wet 

 autumn. The wheat sowing went very heavy except the 

 earliest sown (T. H. .). 



Much under an average crop of wheat. Cold July, 

 with double the usual rainfall, but August warm (Times).
