springs discharged at higher levels than at any time during past thirtyfive years, and quicksands in many fields interfered with projected plantings. April gave but 1.61 inch of rain, May and June 4.45 inches, causing light crops of white potatoes, hay and pasture and berries; interfering with germination of planted seeds and growth of tender plants. After June the supply of moisture and atmospheric conditions were ideal, and thenceforth the season was remarkable for its healthy, vigorous plant growth, endowed with capacity to resist insect and fungous attacks. Fruits and other farm products of choice quality were in such supply that the markets were often overloaded. The increased acreage of summer-sown timothy and clover, at date, is very promising. On October 3d temperature fell to 29° in shelter, which, with added effects of radiation and evaporation on exposed fruits and tender vegetation, closed the season and caused much loss. This was followed by a long period of warm, moist weather which intensified effects from the early freeze and caused much propensity to decay among apples and pears. The Autumn months and much of December had much of beautiful Indian summer-like weather and was very favorable for farm operations and marketing the heavy sweet potato, cabbage and apple crops, and growth of pasturage and winter grain.
