Bolton (H. F. Haynes). — Rowen and fall feed are average. About 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is late. Potatoes 

 are few in the hill, but of good size and quality. Root crops and late 

 market-garden crops are not very good, owing to drought. Apples 

 and other fruits give small yields. Light frost on the night of Septem- 

 ber 22, but little damage to crops. 



Lunenburg (A. W. Rockwood). — Indian corn is above an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Less than 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, owing to the abundance 

 of rowen. Onions are less than a normal crop. Potatoes are a normal 

 crop, but show some rot. The prospect is excellent for root crops and 

 late market-garden crops. Peaches are scarce; pears and grapes fair; 

 Baldwin apples look good quality with a normal crop. There was a 

 moderate frost on September 23. 



Northborough (John K. Mills). — Corn will be a good crop. There 

 is a very good crop of rowen. The usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and it is starting well. Onions have not done weU and the

 late market-garden crops are growing nicely and will give good crops.

 is about half a crop, but fall feed is in good condition. Not as much

 an average crop. Some fields of potatoes were light and others good. 

 Apples are an average crop and grapes good. No frost as yet. 



Leicester (H. H. Kingsbury). — Indian corn is normal, but late in 

 ripening. Pasturage is very short; some fields have produced a good 

 crop of rowen. The amount of fall seeding put in is less than usual,
