and no barley grown. Cape turniiDs are very small and need 

 rain. 



Eastliam (A. L. Nickerson). — Corn is looking very fair con- 

 sidering the lateness of planting and the very dry weather. So far 

 as I have observed the crop of rowen is very small. Late potatoes 

 are looking fairly good and I have seen practically no blight or 

 rot. The apple crop is very liglit; pears quite plenty; grapes and 

 cranberries good crops. Pastures have impi'oved so that feed in 

 them can be called good. Oats and barley are not grown. Celery 

 and other late market-garden crops are not raised here. 



Truro (John B. Dyer). — Indian corn is an average crop, though 

 little raised. The prospect for the rowen crop is below the aver- 

 age, on account of dry weather. Late potatoes are normal in 

 condition and I have heard of no rot. All fruits are above the 

 average, except turnips, which are short of last year. Oats are 

 little raised and no barley is grown. Celery has grown slowly; 

 other late market-garden crops fair. 



DUKES COUNTY. 

 West Tisbury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Indian corn is below the 

 a\erage. The prospect for rowen is very poor. There is a poor 

 ]jrospect for late potatoes, although I have not noticed either blight 

 or rot. The prospect is fair for fruits of various kinds. Pasturage 

 is in average condition. Oats and barley are below average crops.
