land cleared for agricultural purposes
on the Sound this year than during
anyprevious one. y number of new
settlements have been started since last
summer on the bottom land along the
small streams emptying into the Sound
and in most cases the settlers are those
who are determined to make for them
selves comfortable homes and paving
farms as soon aspossible. They have
been busy during the winter in build
ing houses, and with such other
preliminary work as the pioneer finds
necessary in making a start in the
wilderness, and are now ready to
take advantage of the fine weather
and drop the trees into piles for burn
