In the early days markets were a long distance from 
the farm. hasily transported products had to be grown, 
and also products whieh did not easily receive damage in

distanee of fourteen miles. About 1850 the Genesee Valley 
Canal was built, and in ract was along the eastern boundary 
of the farn. Warehouses were built at Tuscarora, and this 
became a loading point for boats. To-day the canal is 
replaced by a branch of the vennsylvania railroad extending 
from Rochester New York to Olean, New York. ‘The station 
is Tuscarora, one and one half miles distant from the farn. 
By this road the Rochester markets are easy to reach, as 
also dre those of the cities in southwestern New York and 
Western Yennsylvania. The arie at Dalton, and the D.L. 
and W. at Mount Morris are also within easy driving distance.

to which the soil was adapted, and which could be marketed 
under the existing conditions were grown. BY this method 
the fertility of the land was depleted. and by pests and 
competition the old lines of effort were displaced. Gradually 
new crops have come which have not entirely displaced the
