Our Agricultural Products.

I regret that so far as wheat and cereals are concerned that that industry is in a depressed condition all over the world. When, however, I consider that the average of production per acre in New Zealand is so strikingly in excess of the production in other parts of the world, I cannot help feeling sure that whatever the ultimate prices may be, this industry in New Zealand roust survive that of other countries, where production is so much smaller per acre, and consequently where profits are so much less. As regards this city especially, and the large extent of country around it, you have not to think of the production of cereals mainly. You have to remember that this portion of the colony has a climate which renders it suitable for the growth of products peculiar to temperate and sub-tropical countries. In travelling through Italy one is delighted to notice the large gardens of maize, and page break planted between them, in regular rows, the alive trees crowded with fruit, and between the trees, grape vines entwined. There you sec all those things together in the greatest profusion. You have in this portion of the colony all necessary facilities for producing richly these and similar products, ranging from temperate to sub-tropical climes—the "golden crops," as I saw them happily termed in a paper here, a few days since.
