SURVEYS IN HARTFORD COUNTY, CONN. 
The tillage records for Hartford County, Conn., were taken around 
Hartford, South Manchester, and throughout the Connecticut Valley 
region, where we find mostly tobacco farms. Enough truck and dairy 
farms are operated to supply the local market, but the principal 
sources of farm income are tobacco and fruit. 
The country generally is level or gently rolling and the soil is very 
fertile. (Table XVII.) Practically all the farms are worked by the 
owners. Most of the farmers have good homes, with unusually good 
barns and outbuildings. All the principal roads have been macad- 
amized. Good schools are maintained and the country is excep- 
tionally prosperous.
