apples rather light; pears plenty; peaches light; grapes fair. No 

 frost to do any damage. 



Groveland (A. S. Longfellow). — Indian corn is a good crop, but 

 late in ripening. Less than the usual amount of rowen. Some fall 

 seeding has been done and it is in good condition. Yield of potatoes 

 quite good, but there is some complaint of rot. Late market-garden 

 crops promise well. There will be half a crop of apples, many pears 

 and some peaches. There is no injury from frost. 



North Andover (Peteh Holt) . — Corn is a fair crop but late. Rowen 

 and fall feed are not up to the usual average. Less than the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, on account of dry weather. 

 Onions are a very poor crop. Potatoes are a fair yield of good quality. 

 All late market-garden crops have suffered from drought. Apples, 

 pears, peaches and grapes good; cranberries a failure. 



Topsfield (B. P. Pike). — Indian corn is about an average crop but 

 late. Rowen and fall feed are very short. Less than the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, owing to dry weather. Potatoes 

 are a short crop and not up to the normal in quality. It has been too 

 dry for root crops and late market-garden crops. Some apple orchards 

 show full crops, others short; no cranberries; few grapes. No damage 

 from frost. 



Wenham (N. P. Perkins). — Corn is not much grown, but about 

 a two-thirds crop. Rowen is not up to the average. Not much fall 

 seeding has been done, but about the usual area will be sown during 

 the next two weeks. As a rule the onion crop will be hght. There 

 is a fair yield of potatoes and the quahty is good. All root crops need 

 rain and at present are at a standstill. Apples about half a crop; 

 pears good; grapes and cranberries light. Cabbages, carrots and 

 parsnips will grow for some time if the needed rain comes soon. 

 Squashes are about all harvested and beets are about through grow- 

 ing. No frost except a little on low land. 



Danvers (Chas. H. Preston). — Indian corn is an average crop. 

 Rowen is not over a fourth of a normal crop and faU feed is light. 

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is light owing 

 to dry weather. Potatoes are a two-thirds crop of good quality. 

 The prospect is fair for root crops and late market-garden crops. 

 Apples are good in spots; pears and peaches good; grapes good. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Cohasset (Ellery C. Bates). — Indian corn is a good crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are up to the usual average. Fall seeding is in good con- 

 dition. The onion crop is below the nomial. Potatoes are a good crop 

 of good qualit3^ The prospect is good for root crops and late market- 

 garden crops. Fruit has turned out fairly well. No injurj^ from frost. 



Randolph (Rufus A. Thayer). — Corn is about a three-fourths
