The hay crop was of excellent quality, but considerably lighter than it 

 would have been, had more rain AiUen in May and June. Early in July, 

 pastures, except in low lands, began to fall, and the supply of fall feed was 

 very limited. Oats and potatoes, especially the Early Rose and Bresee's 

 Prolific, yielded a fair crop. 



Corn, broom-corn, and tobacco, which withstand the effects of drought 

 better than other crops, were nearly or quite as good as usual in the valley of 

 the Connecticut ; and corn fodder was never better. 



The long continued dry, hot weather was very favorable to the sweet 

 potato, which has been planted by many persons in the State the past season 

 with very satisfactory results in most cases. Those grown in Amherst were 

 large and of fine quality. Fruit of all kinds was ripened in great abundance, 

 and was less affected by the drought, as to size, than might have been expected. 

 Apples were very plenty, and grapes of all the hardy varieties were perfectly 

 matured during the warm autumn.
