Brockton (Davis Copeland). — Corn is 80 per cent of a normal 

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

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done and some fields are looking 

 well, but others have not started, owing to dry weather. Onions are a 

 small crop. Potatoes are a three-fourths crop. Unless we get rain 

 soon root crops and late market-garden crops will be short. Some 

 apple orchards are loaded with fruit and others are not. No frost 

 as yet. 



Plympton (Winthrop Fillebrown). — The corn crop is better and 

 larger than for several years. Rowen and fall feed are deficient, owing 

 to drought. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is 

 looking fairly well. The potato crop is good in quality and amount. 

 All root crops have done well except beets. Fruits are deficient, but 

 cranberries have done well. There have been several frosts, the most 

 severe on September 3. 



Kingston (George L. Churchill). — Indian corn is about a two- 

 thirds crop. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the average. No fall 

 seeding has been done as yet. Onions are not an average crop. Pota- 

 toes are very good in quality, but not in yield. The prospect is fair 

 for root crops and late market-garden crops. Apples are scarce; pears 

 a good crop; peaches fair; cranberries good. The weather has been 

 quite good for harvesting for the past month. No damage from frost 

 as yet. 



Carver (J. A. Vaughan). — Indian corn is a good crop. Rowen and 

 fall feed are up to the usual average. Fall seeding is in good condition. 

 Potatoes are good in yield and quality. There are but few apples and 

 pears. There appears to be an average yield of cranberries, with but 

 little damage from frost as yet, and the crop is about half gathered. 



Wareham (A. B. Savary). — Corn is a normal crop. Rowen and 

 fall feed are normal. Very little seeding has been done, but that 

 which has been put in looks well. Onions are a normal crop. Early 

 potatoes were light, but late ones are better. The prospect is for 

 average crops of roots and late market-garden stuff. Roots of all 

 kinds made only light yields. There has been no injury from frost. 



Rochester (Geo. H. Randall). — Indian corn is fully up to the 

 normal. Rowen and fall feed are up to the average. Very httle 

 fall seeding has been done, but it is starting well. Onions are below 

 the normal. Potatoes are above the normal and of good quality. The 

 prospect is good for all late crops. Late potatoes are rotting badly 

 in some places. Cranberries are below early estimates; very few 

 apples; other fruits generally light. No damage from frost as yet.
