together the total crop is estimated at 8,238,000 tons, and sh"ghtly over 

 3,000,000 tons greater than last year. Farmers, therefore, have large stocks of 

 hay for the coming winter, but it must be remembered that, owing to the very 

 unfavourable weather at hay time, a large proportion was carted in a more or 

 less damaged condition, and the feeding value is therefore not up to the usual 

 standard. 



The estimate of the hop crop was issued on the 26th October,^and the 

 estimates of the potato and root crops will be issued subsequently.
