BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Bourne (David D. Nye). — Indian corn compares favorably with 

 a normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Very 

 little fall seeding has been done. Potatoes are about a three-fourths 

 crop. Root crops and late market-garden crops are little raised. 

 Very few apples; few pears; grapes light; cranberries a two-thirds 

 crop, being cut by frost in the spring. No damage from frost this 

 month. 



Mashpee (W. F. Hammond). — Indian corn is above the average. 

 Fall feed and rowen are about average. Fall seeding is looking better 

 than usual. Onions are below the average. The potato crop is above 

 the average in yield and quality. Late market-garden crops are above 

 the average. Apples, pears, peaches and grapes are a failure; cran- 

 berries half a crop. Frost in August damaged the gardens and cran- 

 berry bogs. 



Barnstable (John Bursley). — Corn is 10 per cent above the 

 normal. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done and is looking well. Potatoes 

 are hardly an average yield, but are of fine quality. Cape turnips are 

 growing finely. Apples, pears, peaches and grapes very light; cran- 

 berries less than average. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell). — Corn is rather above the normal. 

 Rowen and fall feed are much better than usual. There is very little 

 fall seeding done in this section. Onions are much less than a normal 

 crop. Potatoes are a normal yield of good quality, but with some 

 rot. Root crops and late market-garden crops promise to be about 

 average. Cranberries are about half a crop; all other fruits scarce. 

 There was a very little damage from frost on September 24. 



Wellfleet (E. S. Jacobs). — Indian corn is about the same as last 

 season. The same amount of fall seeding has been done as last year, 

 with very promising results. Onions are above the average, though 

 only a limited amount is planted. More potatoes are raised than 

 formerly, with better results. All root crops are above the average, 

 and celery is especially fine. Apples, pears, peaches and grapes are 

 all failures. The cranberry crop will be the largest for many years, 

 very poor bogs yielding 50 barrels to the acre. 



Truro (John B. Dyer). — Indian corn is probably above the aver- 

 age. Rowen and faU feed are up to the usual average, owing to late 

 rains. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is in average 

 condition. Onions are little raised, but are an average crop. Potatoes 

 seem to be above the average. The prospect is good for root crops 

 and late market-garden crops. Melons have grown unusually well. 

 Apples are a failure; cranberries an average crop. Very little injury 

 from frost.
