 the average. There is not much rowen, but fall feed is fairly good.

 and fall feed are up to the usual average. The usual amount of fall 

 seeding has been done and is in good condition. Onions are nearly a

Seekonk (John W. Peck). — Indian corn is a three-fourths crop; 

 little raised for grain. Rowen is an average crop, being heavy on low 

 land. There has been very little fall seeding, many preferring October, 

 but that put in looks fairly well. Onions are not nearly up to the 

 average. Potatoes are about an average crop in yield and quality. 

 Root crops are generally good; celery blighted badly and the late 

 crop is not growing well. Some apple orchards are very good, others 

 very poor; cranberries not grown to any extent. Late crops are much 

 in need of rain. No frost as j^et.

 years. Rowen and fall feed are above the average. More seeding has 

 been done than usual and is now in good condition. Onions are not 

 up to the normal. Potatoes are more than an average crop of good 

 quality, though affected by bhght. Root crops are good; celery is 

 looking finely; turnips never looked better. Very few apples; pears, 

 peaches, grapes and cranberries fair. Beans and cabbages are doing 

 remarkably well. We have had a good season, with plenty of showers. 

 No frost as yet.
