crop and is ripening well. There is little rowen, except on moist land. 

 Ver}^ little fall seeding has been done as yet. Onions are a light crop 

 on dry land and good on moist land. Root crops and late market- 

 garden crops are all growing well at present. Apples not harvested; 

 pears good; peaches poor; grapes poor. No frost as yet. We have 

 had little rain and pastures have suffered and early crops were much 

 injured; the ground is now very hard and dry. 



Walpole (Edward L. Shepard). — Indian corn is about 80 per cent 

 of a normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. 

 About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but is somewhat 

 backward on account of drought. Potatoes are about a normal crop. 

 The prospect for root crops and late market-garden crops is fairly 

 good considering the dry weather. Apples are about normal; other 

 fruits quite a little below the normal. No frost as yet to do much 

 damage. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Corn is a normal crop. Rowen and 

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

 of fall seeding has been done and dry weather has retarded that which 

 has been sown. Potatoes are above the average in both yield and qual- 

 ity. Pears and apples are good crops; other fruit short. Dry weather 

 has injured root crops and late market-garden crops. There was a 

 slight frost September 23 on low land. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). — Indian corn is not a normal crop. 

 Rowen is very light. Very little fall seeding has been done, as it has 

 been very dry. Potatoes are a light crop. Root crops and late m.arket- 

 garden crops wall be very light, owing to drought. All fruits are more 

 or less cut short by drought. Streams are lower than for years and our 

 farmers are looking on the dark side. No frost to date. 



Foxhorough (William E. Perkins). — Indian corn is about a two- 

 thirds crop. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. 

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done. Potatoes are a light 

 yield of good quality. The prospect for root crops and late market- 

 garden crops is poor. Fruit of all kinds shows Hght yields. Some 

 cranberries were injured by a hght frost on September 12. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Easton (Wm. N. Howard). — Corn compares favorably with the 

 normal, season extra good for ripening. On low lands rowen and faU 

 feed are good and on high lands very poor. The usual amount of fall 

 seeding has been done and looks well. Onions not grown commercially, 

 but small and hght. Potatoes are a fair crop, but the quality is 

 nothing extra and there is some rot. The prospect is fair for root 

 crops and late market-garden crops; cabbages and turnips need rain. 

 Apples hght; pears fair; cranberries light. Squashes are a medium 

 crop. No frost as yet.
