Fruit, asappl -, peaches, plumbs, cherries &c. grows to much advantage, and ;i some parts are orchards that were raised by the Indians ; but frui; trees, in this country, were mostly destroyed in the expedition oi General Sullivan against the Indians in the revolutionary wai = This country is very favourable for the raising of grass, the upla-wd usually producing from a ton and a half to two tons an acre, and sometimes three tons. It is uncommonly favourable for wheat, o^ w^hich, when it is well and early put into the ground, from twenty to twenty-five bushels are usually raised on an acre ; but it hasbt- <» known to yield forty and frequently thirty bushels and acre, and the grain is generally large and of good quality. Corn generally grows to the amount of 30 to 40 bushels on an acre, and in some instances, on the flats of Genesee river and of Mud Creek, it is said, to the extent of 70 to 80 bushels an acre, and is very heavy and substantial in quality. Rye commonly yields a less quantity than wheat ; oats, buck wheat, and other sorts of grain, are very productive. Flax and hemp grow very luxuriantly, though in some years the crops of flax are indifferent. Potatoes, turnips, cabbages, onions, and other productions of the gardens, grow to great perfection. Tobacco is raised of a good quality, but as yet not in large quantities : a gentleman from Maryland has raised some thousand plants of it, last fall, and it is believed that it might be advantageously raised for market. Maple sugar is manufactured in such quantities that some of the Inhabitants make from five hundred to upwards of a thousand pounds of it in a season. A tree produces, by boiling down the sap, from two to five pounds
