A Wakatipu correspondent writes : — "The benefit snow is to full-sown wheat, is strikingly illustrated by the forward state of the crops on the Grown Terrace near Arrowtown. While the wheat on the flat lands, about 1000 ft above sea level, is not much more than Gin high, that on the Crown Terrace (more than 2000 ft abo\e sea level) is from 9in to 12in high. This is explained by the fact during the late frost the crops on the Tarrace were covered with snow, while those on the low flats were bare and exposed to the frost. The weather still continues wet, cold, and unsettled, so that well-grounded complaints on its accounts are life."
