Norwood (F. A. Fales) . — Indian corn is looking well, but is two 

 weeks late. Rowen will be a light crop. Late potatoes are looking 

 well, with no blight or rot as yet. Apples are dropping badly, owing 

 to the dry weather; pears will be a light crop; grapes and cranberries 

 are looking well. Pastures are drying up badly. Oats were a good 

 crop; barley rather light. Very little celery is raised here; other late 

 market-garden crops are looking well. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson) . — There is an excellent prospect of a 

 good crop of corn. There will be hardly any rowen, owing to drought. 

 There is no bhght or rot as yet on potatoes, and a fair crop is prom- 

 ised. Apples, pears and grapes promise good crops ; other fruits poor. 

 Pastures are very dry. Oats and barley are about average crops. 

 Celery and other late market-garden crops are in fair condition. 



Walpole (Edward L. Shepard). — Indian corn is in fair condition, 

 but needs rain. There is a light crop of rowen, on account of the dry 

 weather. Late potatoes are looking well, with no blight or rot to 

 speak of. Fruit will be below the normal in yield. Pasturage is about 

 gone for this season. Oats and barley are about normal in yield and 

 quality. Celery and other late market-garden crops are rather back- 

 ward, owing to want of rain. 



Foxborough (William E. Perkins) . — Indian corn is backward 

 for the time of year. The lack of rain will cut short the rowen crop 

 one-half, if not more. Potatoes on high land will be a light crop; 

 there is some blight, but no rot as yet. Fruits of all kinds will give 

 light crops. Pasturage is in good condition. Oats and barley are 

 normal crops. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Eas ton (Wm. N. Howard). — Indian corn promises a good crop. 

 Rowen is probably a two-thirds crop, as the lowlands are looking well. 

 Potatoes promise a good crop, but many fields are blighting, and there 

 is some rot in those now digging. Apples and pears are fair crops; 

 cranberries light; peaches, grapes and quinces not much grown. Pas- 

 turage is good on lowlands and poor on uplands. Oats have been a 

 good crop, but the acreage is small. Celery and squashes are late, and 

 early frosts would cut the squash crop badly; the vines look well. 



Attlehorough (Isaac Alger). — Corn promises more than an average 

 crop. The prospect for rowen is very poor. Late potatoes promise a 

 fair crop. There will be very small crops of apples, pears, peaches, 

 grapes and cranberries. Pasturage is in fair condition for the time of 

 year. Oats and barley are full average crops. Celery and other late 

 market-garden crops are in fair condition. The June frost destroyed 

 the cranberry crop in this section. 



Raynham (J. R. Lawrence). — Corn is in splendid shape, and a 

 good crop of both ears and fodder is promised, "^^ery few fields prom- 

 ise any rowen. Potatoes are uneven, but light as a rule; both blight
