YORK COUNTY SOCIETY. 47 



appear at one time as though the potato crop would be of but little 

 value. But pleasant weather after the rains came late in the 

 season and so far recovered vegetation that a good crop of potatoes 

 was raised on most farms, and on many the crop of corn came well 

 up to the average. The crop of wheat was larger than for many 

 years, many more acres being sown than heretofore. We heard of 

 several cases where upwards of twenty bushels of good wheat 

 were raised in this county to the acre. The apple crop, less than 

 usual, at the severe gale in the early Fall, was badly damaged and 

 reduced. 



The receipts of the Society for the year were very satisfactory, 

 being about $1300, and funds would have been left after paying 

 all bills, had not the gale in the Fall prostrated the fence of the 

 Society's enclosed grounds, costing $400 for repairs. 



John Hanscom, Secretary.
