The Hay crop, both from arable and pasture land, was very 

 disappointing. From clovers and rotation grasses the esti- 

 mated yield of hay per acre was 2 cwts. below the average 

 and about 3 \ cwts. below the yield of the preceding year. 

 Scotland, however, was again more fortunate than the rest 

 of the country, the yield being there nearly one cwt. above the 

 ten years' average.

In the case of meadow hay the general deficiency was still 

 more serious, the estimated yield falling below the average 

 by no less than 5 J- cwts. per acre, and representing, with 

 the one exception of 1893, the smallest crop recorded in 

 Great Britain.
