of the hay crop is very large and the quahty fair to good. Oats are 

 grown to a small extent for forage and are in fair condition. Late 

 potatoes will be fully up to the average ; early sorts not yet harvested, 

 apples and pears are an average crop; peaches and plums small; 

 other fruits not grown. Pastures are poor at present. As forage oats 

 are a good crop, and a fair to good grain crop is expected. Apple 

 trees have not been set to any extent. 



Windsor (Harry A. Ford). — Potato bugs are doing some damage. 

 Indian corn is small, owing to dry weather; nine-tenths of the crop 

 is grown for the silo. Hay is about an average crop in quantity and 

 quality. Oats and corn are our principal forage crops. There will be 

 less than a full crop of apples. No new apple orchards have been set 

 out in this town in the past two years. 



Lanesborotigh (W. E. Foster). — Potato bugs are doing some 

 damage. Corn is in good condition; about one-third of the crop is 

 used for ensilage. The hay crop is fully up to the normal in quantity 

 and quality. Millet and corn are our principal forage crops and both 

 are rather backward. Market-garden crops are backward; potatoes 

 yield about three-fourths of the normal, with the usual price. Apples 

 are a failure, and other fruits short crops. Pastures are very dry. Rye, 

 oats and barley are fully up to the normal. No new apple orchards 

 have been set out recently in this town. 



Cheshire (L. J. Northup). — Potato bugs seem to be more plenty 

 than usual. Indian corn has come forward rapidly and is about 

 normal; about one-third of the crop is grown for the silo. Quantity 

 of the hay crop much more than usual and quality extra. Millet, oats 

 and fodder corn are our principal forage crops and are in good condi- 

 tion. The condition of market gardens promises well; early potatoes 

 have not been harvested. It is rather early to report on fruits as j-et. 

 Feed is getting short in pastures. Oats are a fair crop, but are mostly 

 cut green. More or less apple trees are being set ever}' year, but no 

 orchards. 



Savoy (Willis W. Burnett). — Potato bugs are a great nuisance. 

 The corn crop is very backward, with less acreage than usual, and 

 is mostly grown for ensilage. The hay crop is above the average in 

 both quantity and quality. Corn and oats are our principal forage 

 crops and are in fair condition, though somewhat backward. All 

 garden crops are late; no potatoes harvested as yet. Apples are 

 dropping; other fruits not very abundant. Pasturage has been fine, 

 but is now getting a little dry. Rye, oats and barley are full crops, 

 but a little backward. Very little has been done in setting out new 

 apple orchards. 



WilUamstoivn (S. A. Hickox). — Potato bugs are doing some dam- 

 age. Indian corn is rather below the normal in condition. The hay 

 crop is 100 per cent in both (juantity and quality. Sweet corn is the 

 principal forage crop grown here. Market-garden crops are backward.
