Groveland (A. S. Longfellow). — Indian corn is very green and 

 will give less than an average yield. Rowen and fall feed are not 

 up to the usual average. The usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done and is in very good condition. The yield is below the average, 

 and the quality good. Root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops are looking very well. Pears and peaches are a full 

 crop, and there are some apples. There was much injury from frost 

 September 14 and 15. 



Rowley (D. H. O'Brien). — Indian corn is below the normal. 

 Rowen and fall feed are below the average. Very little fall seeding 

 has been done. Nearly all the onion crop was destroyed by the 

 onion maggot. Potatoes are half a normal yield, of poor quality. 

 Root crops are fair and late, market-garden crops quite good. 

 Apples are half a crop; pears fair; peaches and grapes good; cran- 

 berries poor. There was a severe frost on September 15, doing a 

 great amount of damage. 



Topsfield (B. P. Pike). — Indian corn was badly frostbitten 

 and is below the average. Fall feed is good, but rowen is late and 

 below the average. About the usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done; though it is late it is looking well. Potatoes are of fair 

 size and few in the hill. Root crops and late market-garden crops 

 have grown well, but are poorly stocked. Apples are uneven; 

 peaches and grapes fair; cranben'ies badly injured by frost. Sep- 

 tember 14 there was a heavy frost. 



Hamilton (George R. Dodge). — On account of early frost the 

 crop of sound, well-matured ears of corn will be materially lessened. 

 Late summer and fall rains have brought the rowen crop and fall 

 feed nearly up to the average. Some fall seeding has been done 

 recently, but it is not yet ready for report of condition. Some fields 

 of potatoes on low ground have given normal crops, but they are 

 generally below. Root crops were slow in germinating and made an 

 uneven stand. Apples are abundant in Avell eared for orchards; 

 pears and grapes plentiful; peaches fair; no cranberries. Serious 

 damage from frost occurred about two weeks ago; late sweet corn, 

 tomatoes, beans, squashes and all vine crops suffering. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Cohasset (Ellery C. Bates). — Rowen and fall feed are up to 

 the usual average. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done 

 and is in normal condition. Onions are less than a normal crop. 

 The prospect is good for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops. The prospect is good for fruit. There was injury 

 from frost on September 14. 



Canton (Edwin V. Kingsley). — Indian corn is an average crop. 

 Rowen made a surprising gain and is a two-thirds crop; fall feed
