were a very good crop; barley not grown. Cape turnips are looking 

 well. Indications are that the cranberry crop will be below the average. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell) . • — Indian corn is in excellent condition. 

 The prospect for the rowen crop is better than usual. Late potatoes 

 are in good condition, with no blight or rot as yet. Apples are scarce; 

 pears fair; cranberries a two-thirds crop. Pasturage is in very good 

 condition. Oats and barley are but little grown. Turnips, carrots, 

 beets, etc., are looking finely. 



Brewster (Thomas D. Sears). — Indian corn is in very good condi- 

 tion. The crop of rowen will be above the normal. The prospect for 

 late potatoes is good, with no sign of blight or rot as yet. The apple 

 crop is below the normal; there are some pears, peaches and grapes, 

 and an average crop of cranberries. The crops of oats and barley 

 compare favorably with former years. Late market-garden crops are 

 looking well. 



Truro (John B. Dyer). — Indian corn is in better than average 

 condition. The prospect for rowen is good, owing to late rains. Late 

 potatoes promise a better yield than early ones. Pears and apples are 

 very short, particularly apples ; cranberries are average, perhaps above. 

 Pasturage is in good condition. Oats and barley compare favorably 

 with former yields. There is very little celery raised, but what there 

 is is good; also other late market-garden crops. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tisbury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Indian corn is in very good 

 condition. The rowen crop is above the normal. The prospect is 

 good for late potatoes, with no blight or rot at present. Apples, pears, 

 peaches, grapes and quinces promise poorly; cranberries fair. Pas- 

 turage is in good condition. Oats are a good average crop. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (H. G. Worth). — Corn was never in better condition. 

 There will be a big crop of rowen. Potatoes are rotting badly. There 

 will be a fair cranberry crop. Pastures are in good condition. Oats 

 and barley are fully up to former years in yield. Celery and late mar- 

 ket-garden crops are in good condition.
