GENESEE FARMER. 



Ill 



The VVkather, Crops, Fruit, ISlc. — One ex- 

 treme has succeeded ;in;;ther with wonderful rpgu- 

 larity, up to thg present time. When we have had 

 a hot day, the night, as a general thing, has been 

 chilly cold. The consequence is, fruits mature 

 kIowIv, and are greatly deficient in flavor and 

 sweetness. 



On the 30th of May w^e had a severe, killing frost 

 ' — most kinds of garden vegetables, grape vines, Sec. 

 were cut down. Still, v.e escaped comparative: ly 

 safe, in our vicinity, and for several miles back from 

 lake Ontario. We happened to be in Batavia on the 

 morning after the frost, and there the entire crop 

 was destroved: and so it was, we have been inform- 

 ed, through a considerable portion of the state west 

 and southwest of our county. 



Taking the whob country, on an average, the 

 fruit crop wid be very light, and prices undoubtedly 

 high. This should induce people to exercise great 

 care over what they have. 



ADVERTISEMENTS. 



AroLOGY. — Our two or three paragraphs in the 

 last number of the Fd.rmer, were elegantly inter- 

 spersed with blunders. Lcciist, for instance, was 

 put " Locus," " your" instead of our; and in one or 

 two places, for instance, at the close of the remarks 

 on " Caterpillars," the meaning of a whole clause 

 ^ is perverted or completely obscured. 



Unpretending as we are in the way of writing, 

 we nevertheless feel anxious to have our orthogra- 

 ph}^ correct, and our meaning clear. We have sel- 

 dom an opportunity of reading the proof of our arti- 

 cles, leaving that with the publishers; they, we pre- 

 sume, were too much engaged to bestow proper 

 attention in the case alluded to. P. B. 



A Plowing Match was held at Gcnesco on the 28th 

 ult. The prpmiuiris wein awarded in tli(» Court Room, 

 after which Hon. Daniel Lee, of Buflalo, (lelighted the 

 crowded audience with an eloqnont and appropriate ad- 

 dress upon subjects connected with the progress of knowl- 

 edge in scientific Agriculture. 



If any person wishes to know who and what 

 Daniel Lee is, they should read his report on Agri- 

 culture made to the last Legislature. Every line 

 and word of that report is as valuable as good sense 

 and truth could make it. A happy day would it be 

 for the laboring classes, if the truths which it con- 

 tains were understood as they ought to be. — Syra- 

 cuse iStaudard. 



Gkn. Rawson Harmox, of Wheatland, in this 

 county, passed through the city this morning, on a 

 visit to the wheat-growing regions of Eastern Penn- 

 sylvania, Maryland and Virginia. It is his design to 

 be present at the harvest in those sections, to ob- 

 serve the species of the grain, and to collect such 

 information as may beneficially aid the culture of 

 that great staple of the Genesee Country. Gen. 

 Harmon has devoted very great attention to the sub- 

 ject, and his name is well knov/n throughout the 

 country in connexion with it,. lie has madS trial on 

 his excelli-'nt and well cultivated farm, of a great 

 number of varieties of wheat and has brouoht the 

 cultivation of them to great perfection. — Rochester
