A SATISFACTORY SEASON.
New England Crops, Excepting Hay and Az
pies, Will Reach Average Yield and Quality.

Following is a statement Of the
weather and crop conditions of New
England, compiled from the reports Of
correspondents throughout the section,
for the week ending Sept. %:
Copious rains fell in about all sections
of New England on the goth and 2lst
The exceptions were extreme eastern
sections of Massachusetts and Rhode
Island and northern part of Vermont,
where only light showers occurred. For
the remainder Of the week the weather
was generally fair and with abundant
sunshine.
The past week was decidedly warmer
than the preceding one. The average
temperature was 62 degrees, which is
degrees higher than the week previ-
Gus. There were no reports of killing
frosts and light frosts occurred only in
the lowlands of some Of the northern
sections of the district.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1899-09-27

The average rainfall for the week was
1.5O inches, which was the largest for
any week of the season. The amounts
in coast sections from PASSPORT to Bos-
ton were from 1.50 to 3. The rainfau
was somewhat less in the interior sec-
tons of the district, though sufficient n

mediate benefit, putting the soil in finA
condition for blowing and fall seeding

improving late vegetables and vegeta-

The rain and warm weather of tba
past week have improved the condition
of crops. The chief benefit resulted "A

lures, and to fall sown seed. Crops arc
nearly all secured, except apples, pota-
toes and late corn. The recent rains
have placed the ground in good tillable
condition and fall blowing and seeding
are being rushed in many sections NJ
the district. There are still parts ~
northern Vermont and eastern Rhode
Island and Massachusetts where the soil
is too dry for cultivation. In some Sec
tons Of Vermont the question of water
supply is becoming serious, and the
scarcity of water for stock causes much
inconvenience to farmers.
This bulletin is the last issue of the
season of 1899. The section director
thanks all for prompt and reliable re-
ports and cooperation in the work.

in this country. 1t was the Americans
who prospected the country and it was
they who discovered the gold here, and
they are the ones who own most of the
cause of feeling of bitterness and
jealousy on the part of the Canadian
government and the Canadian people
against the Americans This they have
shown in the laws which they have
passed and in their treatment of the
Americans. 1t seems to me that they
have shown themselves anything but
liberal in their disposition to please the
man who comes into this country to
prospect, by the imposition of taxes,
licenses, royalties. etc. Their attitude
has been, when protest has been made,
If you don't like our laws, get out. and
many of the Americans are taking the
advice and going down onto the Ameri
can side to prospect. l wish to say this
of the Canadians, that they have great
respect for law and order and they
maintain law and order here. The
