the temperature of midsummer is not excess

are longer, and therefore our crops are not
killed by late or early frosts.
THE SOIL is of a variety of compositions
clayey, gravelly, lime stone, slate, sandy loan,
DC. This great variety of soils and the mild
for the variety of products.
SOCIETY No section in the Union has
better executed laws. The blessings of po-

where more fully protected than in n. c.
IN GENERAL.-The great fertility of our
lands, the mildness of our climate, free from
the scorching and whitening heat Of the South
and the extreme cold and freezes of the North

favored agricultural section in America. Ma
