fields heavy and some light because of drought. Rowen and fall feed 

 are less than usual. Some seeding has been done in corn, but it has 

 suffered from dry weather. Early potatoes were a light crop. Apples 

 will give a light yield. There has been no damage from frost as yet. 



Conway (L. T. Hopkins). — With frosts holding off for two weeks 

 longer the crop of Indian corn will be better than normal. The late 

 rains have helped rowen and fall feed somewhat, but they are hardly 

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

 most of it is done after tobacco, so some seed has not germinated as 

 yet. The yield of potatoes is below normal; quality No. 1; rotting 

 considerably. Apples poor in yield and quality, except in orchards 

 which have received proper attention. No damage from frost. 



Deerfield (Dwight A. Hawkes). — Indian corn is more than an 

 average crop. Rowen and f aU feed are not up to the usual average. 

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in good 

 condition. Onions are much below the normal. Potatoes are a normal 

 crop in yield and quality. Apples are a light crop; pears fair. There 

 has been no injury from frost as yet. 



Sunderland (Geo. P. Smith). — Indian corn is about a normal crop. 

 Rov/en and fall feed are up to the usual average. The usual amount 

 of fall seeding has been done and it looks well, except on dry land. 

 Onions are below normal in yield, from 300 to 400 bushels per acre; 

 prices good. Potatoes are a Ught yield of good quality. Apples half 

 a crop; pears a full crop; grapes average. The tobacco crop is good, 

 and many crops have been sold at from 14 to 18 cents per pound in 

 the bundle. No damage from frost. 



Montague (A. M. Lyman). — Corn is a fair to good crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are up to the average on low land and below on high land. 

 More than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done; much has 

 been done in corn and it is in extra good condition. Onions are hardly 

 more than half a crop, but are of excellent quality. Potatoes are a 

 two-thirds crop. Root crops and late market-garden crops are not 

 quite up to the normal. There will be apples enough for home use; 

 not much in other fruits. No damage from frost. Tobacco is a good 

 crop and curing well, in fine, light shades. Considerable millet is 

 raised for seed here and this year is but half a crop. The silo is con- 

 sidered a necessity and many new ones have been built. 



Erving (Chas. F. Clark) . — Indian corn compares favorably with 

 the normal. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is in fair condition. 

 Early potatoes were below the normal in yield, late ones a fair crop. 

 Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops promise fairly 

 well. Apples medium; pears and peaches plenty. No damage from 

 frost to speak of. 



New Salem (Daniel Ballard). — Corn is a little below the normal. 

 Rowen and fall feed are somewhat below the average. About the
