 Your correspondents in various sec- tions of the country call this the earliest season on record. Let us look back 8 few years. Eighty-fve years ago to- day the corn on the old Robbins farm in Canaan, Conn.,, had been hood and the men were ashing 1t. This farm has history. In 1737, 152 years ago, Samuel Robbins, of Rocky Hill, bought at auction in New London an undivi- ded part of the farm in Canaan. His son. Samuel. settled on part of it. From that day to this the farm has been owned by Samuel Robbins, having been handed down from father to son till now. The fee is in the seventh genera 5 ton of that name. Do any of your numerous readers know of similar instance SAMUEL S. ROBBINS.
