Crops Are All Right.
A Hartford Post reporter Saturday
visited Windsor, Poquonock, Ware
house Point, East Windsor, East Wind
sor Hill, South Windsor, Burnside and
East Hartford finding the farmers very
busy in cutting their tobacco, which is
exceptionally good. Indeed, it was the
opinion of many farmers that there
never was better crop. A large number
of men are engaged now in cutting. A
considerable portion of the crop has al
ready been secured and about the only
thing the faamers fear is a hail storm or
heavy blow. CONSIDERABLE Havana is
raised on the west side of the river; on
the east the crop is principally seed leaf.
All will be glad that the farmers are
having excellent crops this year. In adj
dition to the fine growth of tobacco, the
hay crop was unusually large and fine
weather prevailed, SO that it was secured
| in fine order. Corn is looking remarka-
| bly, well in most sections and the potato
crop is very promising.
