Overview

Excerpt from The Lancaster Farmer, Vol. 4: Published Monthly, Under the Auspices of the Lancaster County Agricultural and Horticultural Society I will add some observations of my own during the last forty years in this county. From 1830 to 1850 the streams had less water in them than they have had from 1850 to 1870. A small stream passes through my farm which, thirty years ago, became dry in the summer, but now continues to run the whole year. This stream thirty years ago took its source in ground covered with forests, but which is now all cleared. Forty years ago the county abounded in forests. Now it is almost denuded of timber, yet the streams of water are stronger at this time than they were then. This evi dence does not seem to agree with the opin ions advanced by the paper above referred to, nor with the Opinions that generally seem to prevail on this point; but the observations I adduce are simply confined to this county.
