good condition. Onions are about a normal crop. Potatoes are 

 below the normal in both yield and quality. Root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops are not much raised. There was a 

 very light frost on September 1[\ and a heavy one on the 14th, 

 cutting corn, potatoes, late gardens, beans and sweet corn, in fact 

 all crops. 



HAMPSHIRE COUNTY. 



Greenwich (Walter H. Glazier). — Indian corn would have been 

 a good crop, but much of it suffered from frost. There is very little 

 rowen, but fall feed is in fair condition. But little fall seeding has 

 been done. Potatoes are light in yield and of fair quality. Root 

 crops and late market-garden crops are not grown to any amount. 

 Apples are hardly a normal crop; other fruits not grown. On the 

 morning of September 14 a severe frost did much damage, nearly 

 all corn being still uncut. 



Pelham (John W. Knight). — Indian corn is a very good crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are light, as the rains did not come until late. 

 There has not been much fall seeding done. What onions there are 

 raised here are good. Potatoes are not more than half a crop, of 

 poor quality. Apples are a small crop; pears, peaches and grapes 

 good. There was a hard frost on September 14, which injured corn 

 fields and killed vines. 



Hadley (H. C. Russell). — Corn was growing well until the 

 frost damaged it. Rowen is a short crop, and fall feed fair. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and is in good condition. 

 Onions are about two-thirds of an average crop. Potatoes are a 

 very poor crop of poor quality. Apples and grapes are fair crops. 

 A frost on the 14th seriously damaged tobacco, corn and garden 

 crops. 



South Hadley (W. F. Person). — Com is a good crop. Rowen 

 is a light crop. Fall seeding is about the same as usual in amount, 

 and is looking well. Onions are less than an average crop. Pota- 

 toes are a small yield of poor quality. All root crops are good. 

 Apples are a small crop, also pears; grapes good. A very hard 

 frost on the 13th cut most everything in this section. 



Easihampton (Wii. C. Clapp). — Indian corn is hardly up to 

 the average. There is a light crop of rowen, and fall feed is about 

 as usual. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is 

 looking well. Onions are not a heavy yield. Potatoes are not a 

 normal crop, being few in the hill, but are of good quality. Root 

 crops and celery promise well. Apples are a light crop ; pears and 

 gxapes plenty. The frost of September 13 injured corn and all 

 other crops not matured. 



Southampton (C. B. Lyman). — Corn was a full average crop, 

 but damaged by frost. Rowen is about one-third of a full crop;
