NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Cohasset (Ellery C. Bates). — Cut worms are doing some damage- 

 More Indian corn was planted than usual. Hajdng has not begun 

 and there will be a fair crop. The acreage of early potatoes is normal 

 and they promise well. Early market-garden crops are normal in 

 yield and price. Dairy products and dairy cows are average in supply 

 and price. Pasturage is in fair condition. There is about a two- 

 thirds crop of strawberries. 



Canton (Edwin V. Kixsley). — Cabbage worms are the only insect 

 doing much harm. Corn is looking well, with a full average acreage. 

 Haying has not begun and the crop will be light. The acreage of 

 early potatoes is about the same as usual and the crop looks very 

 thrifty. Early market-garden crops are light and prices good; later 

 crops look well. Milk is short for the time of year and good dairy 

 cows are high; price of milk same as last year. Pastures are in normal 

 condition. Strawberries are a good crop but coming on slowly; 

 blackberries and raspberries good.

 was less than last year. Pastures are light and dry. Fruits and berries
