TILE WEA'T'HEfR IN AETS
TRALIA.
In Victoria wet and boisterous weather
has been experienced in most parts of the
colony. The condition of the country has
greatly improved, and agricultural pros
pects are all that can be desired for the
season of the year. In most districts the
crops are thriving with remarkable vigour,
and as yet have shown no sign of disease of
any kind. Potato planting (states the
Leder) is now going on in the root growing
localities, and the sets planted last month
are beginning to show above ground. Grass
is now growing with great rapidity and
stock are improving accordingly; in fact
there is every prospect of a most favour
able season being experienced.
Telegrams from the Now South Wales
country districts show that the storm of
Sunday last has been pretty general, and
that in all instances it has been accompan
ied by heavy rain or snow. The rivers and
creeks are in flood in all directions, and
large numbers of sheep and lambs have
been lost.
The change which has taken place in the
appearance of South Australia since the
drought broke up can fairly be described
as souethiuL' msrvOuous. and as a natural
consequence the change in the prospects of
the agriculturists is such as to dispel the
gloom which was steadily growing with
them day by day. Many places where it
was feared that the seed had malted in the
ground havecounsequent on the rains which
fell towards the cnd of July and during the
month of August, put on a vivid santle of
green. The wares sunshine which has pre
vailed between the showers has sent vegeta
tion along, and the crope, especially in the
middle and lower north and on the
Peninsula, are looking remarkably well.
