FIELD. 7) 
Owrne principally to recent wet weather, the cutting of sugar-cane has no t yet 
been commenced. The crop of cane should be a good one, the season haying 
been very favourable for the growth of cane. 
Tire rice crop, which has been an excellent one, has now been harvested. 
There will probably be an output of 200 tons of paddy from the Nort 
districts. ° i \ 
Corres has now been nearly all gathered on the various farms. The output 
will probably not reach 5 tons of clean coffee. A considerable quantity of 
trees will come into bearing during next season. Half a ton per _acre fit for 
market is confidently expected from some areas. 
GARDEN. 
Frencu beans may still be planted with expectations of a good crop. A 
peas might be planted, but it is rather late. Potatoes will not thrive if plan 
daring July or August on the coast, but tablelanders may yet plant for a time. 
This has been a remarkably good season for the kitchen gardener.
