Truro (John B. Dyer). — Corn is in fair condition; none grown for 

 ensilage. Upland hay was a better crop than usual. Forage crops are 

 little raised. Market-garden crops are good, with prices in advance of 

 former years. Apples are about a failure, also pears; peaches fair; 

 cranberries promise well. Pasturage is now in fair condition, having 

 been extra good up to the present time. Old orchards have been 

 added to, but few if any new orchards have been started. Rye, oats 

 and barley are average crops. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tishury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Potato bugs are doing some 

 damage. Indian corn is in good condition and about one-fourth the 

 crop is grown for ensilage. The quantity of the hay crop is about 

 average, and the quality is good. Corn is our principal forage crop 

 and is in good condition. Market-garden crops are about average in 

 condition and price. Apples, pears and other fruits promise poorly; 

 cranberries average. Pasturage is in good condition. Rye, oats and 

 barley are about average crops. No new orchards have been set out 

 in the last two years. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (H. G. Worth). — Potato bugs and cut worms are doing 

 some damage. Corn is in good condition; none grown for ensilage. 

 There was a good hay crop of good quality. Corn and oats are our 

 principal forage crops and are in good condition. j\Iarket-garden 

 crops are in good condition, with yields and prices good for those 

 harvested. The outlook for a good crop of cranberries is good; no 

 other fruits raised here. Pasturage was never in better condition. 

 Rye, oats and barley are fully up to former years. No apples are 

 raised in this county.
