80; peaches, 100. All late crops have been benefited by the recent 

 rains. Frosts damaged tomatoes, squash, corn, beans, etc., on the 

 11th, 12th and 15th. 



Dana (Lyman Randall). — Indian corn yield: as a grain crop, 

 40; as a fodder and ensilage crop, 60. Rowen yield, 10. Fall feed 

 condition, 60, Per cent of fall seeding: grass, 50. Alfalfa does not 

 flourish in this "\rcinity. Onion yield, 50. Potato yield, 50; quality, 

 90. Late market-garden crop prospect: beets, 90; cabbage, 40; car- 

 rots, 75; parsnips, 50; squash, 25; turnips, 80. Fruit yield: fall 

 apples, 25; pears, 30; peaches, 15; grapes and cranberries, 50. 

 Grass, late potatoes and late garden crops have been most benefited 

 by recent rains. Frost occurred on the 10th and 16th, injuring corn, 

 potatoes and late garden crops. There was a hard freeze on the 

 16th which put a stop to all growth. It is hard to estimate the 

 damage. 



New Braintree (Chakles D. Sage). — Indian corn yield: as a 

 grain crop, 75; as a fodder and ensilage crop, 80. Rowen jdeld, 5. 

 Condition of fall feed, 50. Per cent of fall seeding of rye, 50 ; very 

 little seeding of other crops. Potato yield, 75; quality, 80. Late 

 market-garden crop prospect: beets and turnij^s, 50; cabbage and 

 celery, 75; carrots and parsnips, 60; squash, 40. Fruit yield: fall 

 apples, 40; pears and grapes, 80. Grass, corn and all kinds of late 

 garden crops have been benefited by the rains. About the middle of 

 September several killing frosts occurred which injured corn and 

 tomatoes. It is impossible to estimate the damage. The very dry 

 year has prevented the growth of rowen and fall feed, and has also 

 made the plowing for fall seeding very late.
