Armagh Guardian

Armagh Guardian: News - News - SHAW, TREANOR, WILSON - Crops

Transcribed by Alison Causton

The following article was transcribed from The Armagh Guardian, by permission of The British Library.

THE CROPS.

The accounts from all parts of the kingdom hold out the prospect of a very abundant harvest. In our own district the crops of every description are most promising.

RYE GRASS.--A specimen of very fine rye grass was left at our office last Tuesday. It was grown amongst clover by Mr. WM. WILSON, of Derradara, Blackwatertown, and measures six feet two inches in length.

FLAX.--We have seen a few stalks of flax, not less than 30 inches long, from a field of 11 acres in Legar Hill, the property of HUGH TREANOR, Esq., of Armagh, and we are assured that the whole crop is in every respect equal to the specimen. This and other evidences which we are daily in receipt of, will we trust remove the unfounded report of an extensive failure in that crop this season.

EARLY HAY.--The Rev. Mr. SHAW, of Moy, had a quantity of upland meadow mown and put in cocks last week.
