CROPS IN THE NUrMEG STATE
Encouraging Report of the Secretary
OF Agriculture.

Encouraging Report of the secretary
OF Agriculture.
The secretary of agriculture has the
following to say of the condition of the
Connecticut crops last year !: Corn
turned out well generally and especially
we'll in the best corn producing sections.
The oat crop was fairly good IN the por
ton of the state where the bulk of the
crop is raised. Buckwheat had an in
creased acreage and product, the only
draw back being occasional sprouting in
the field. The quality of the potatoes is
excellent, but damage by rot made the
yield very irregular, as also is the
price. Tobacco was a good crop with
less injury in curing from pole
sweat than was feared. Hay
was abundant and secured in fine con.
dition. There was apparently a surplus,
but the price of grain will increase home
consumption" AS to the present state
of the crop he says that there has been
about the usual sowing of wheat and
rye. The wheat crop was about 1000
bushels, which was grown on 1876 acres.
The value of the crop is $38,OlS. The
corn yield amounted to over 1000, 900
bushels. which was grown on 56,407
acres. The value of the yield is 81 400
GIL. The oat crop was 39.019 acres;1S0,-
900 bushels and valued at $4l3,6Ol. The
average farm price of products i'll Con-
necticut is stated as corn, 30 cents
wheat 81. 10; rye 50 cents; oats 90; cents
barley, 90: buckw heat, 60; potatoes, 81

An Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last
Evening.
The meeting of the board of trade

and many important matters were dis
cussed.
The first business was the report of
the delegates to the meeting of the state
board of trade, held at Hartford this
week. In the absence of +. b. Rice, ID.

of the proceedings of the state board,
touching on the question of compulsory
pilotage, interchangeable mileage tick.
cts, and also the action of the meeting
in recommending to the legislature the
compilation of a book showing the re-
lation Connecticut bears TO the indus.
tries of the world. Messrs Hamilton
and Wade stated that the delegates in.
vited the state board to meet in Water.
bury in 1892. Their action was warmly
endorsed by the meeting.

ton from the national board re.
commenting the establishing of a per-
manent census office. The matter was

ton as a matter that never came before

cussed every week. Mr. Hamilton said

have confidence enough in their water
board to believe that they will act for
the best interests of the city.

subject for discussion at next Friday
nights meeting be the new water sup.

ment that the secretary be requested t.
