kinds. Pasturage is in poor condition. Oats and barley are not 

 raised. Celery and other late market-garden crops are in good 

 condition. Condition of all late crops good, but rain is needed. 



Canton (Edwin V. Kinsley). — Corn is in normal condition 

 and a full crop is promised. The rowen crop is almost a total 

 failure. Late potatoes look well and no blight has appeared. 

 Apples, pears, grapes and cranberries give full crops. Pasturage 

 is dry. Celery and other late market-garden crops are in good 

 condition. Oats and barley are about 75 per cent of normal yields. 

 The supply of milk is short and the price of dairy cows very high. 

 Although we have had two heavy rains, sufficient to keep the sur- 

 face of the ground from drying up, yet the streams are very low. 



Norwood (Frank A. Falks). — Indian corn is looking well. 

 RoAven will be a light crop. There is no blight or rot on late pota- 

 toes, but they are not more than half a crop. Apples, pears and 

 peaches will be light; grapes and cranberries looking well. Pas- 

 turage is in very poor condition, except on low land. Oats and barley 

 have given good normal crops. Celery and other late market-garden 

 crops will be light. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Corn is a fair crop, but a little 

 short. There is very little rowen. The prospect for late potatoes 

 IS fair. Apples and pears 50 per cent of a full crop; peaches 85; 

 grapes 90 ; quinces 20 ; cranberries 40. Pastures are dried up. 

 Oats and barley are about normal crops. Celery and other late 

 market-garden crops are in fair condition. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). — Indian corn is in very poor condi- 

 tion. Rowen is not a normal crop, but nearly so. Late potatoes 

 are light crop with some scab. Apples 50 per cent of a normal 

 crop; pears 100; peaches 90; grapes 60; quinces and cranberries 

 little grown. Pasturage is in poor condition. The weather has been 

 too dry for oats and barley. Celery and other late market-garden 

 crops are but little raised here. 



Foxboro (William E. Perkins). — Indian corn is a two-thirds 

 crop. The prospect for rowen is very poor, but a third what there 

 usually is. There is some blight on late potatoes and they will be 

 a very light crop. There will be fair crops of apples, pears, 

 peaches and grapes. Pastures are dry. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Fas ton (Wm. N. Howard), — Indian corn is in good condition. 

 The rowen crop will be below the normal. There is early blight 

 on late potatoes to some extent and they have set lightly, but there 

 is no rot as yet. There will be a large fruit crop. Pasturage is 

 in fair condition. Celery and other late market-garden crops are 

 good as a rule.
