a normal crop in yield, are rotting badly and are scabby. The 

 prospect for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 is excellent. Apples few, pears good and peaches fair. 



Hancock (C. H. Wells). — Corn is a very good average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. No onions 

 raised. Potatoes are a short crop in yield, with many small tubers 

 and some rot. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops are little raised. Pears and grapes abundant ; very light 

 crop of apples ; no peaches. 



Cheshire (L. J. Northup). — Indian corn compares favorably 

 with an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the average. 

 Fall seeding is being done to quite an extent, but it is too early to 

 judge as to its condition. Onions are a fair crop though little 

 raised. Late potatoes would have been an average crop but for 

 the rot. The prospect looks to be good for most root crops. Ap- 

 ples are very scarce, probably 90 per cent off from last year ; some 

 pears ; grapes a good crop but none raised for market ; cranber- 

 ries not grown in this locality. 



Savoy ( W. W. Burnett) . — Corn is a full average crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are more than average crops. The usual amount of 

 fall seeding has not been done, but more will be done later. Onions 

 are not much raised. Potatoes are a fair crop but some fields are 

 rotting badly. The prospect for root crops is fair ; celery and 

 other late market-garden crops are not much grown. Few apples ; 

 peaches scurfy ; grapes not much grown. 



Wtlliamstown (S. A. Hickox). — Frost has held off so that 

 corn has matured and is a good average crop. Rowen was never 

 better and fall feed is in good condition. Not as much fall seed- 

 ing done as usual. Onions are a normal crop. Potatoes 60 per 

 cent of a crop. Apples, 40 per cent; pears and peaches 60 per 

 cent. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops is good. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



Monroe (D. H. Sherman). — Indian corn is in very good con- 

 dition. Rowen and fall feed are fully up to the average. But very 

 little fall seeding has been done in this section. Potatoes are per- 

 haps a three-fourths crop of fair quality, but are rotting very badly, 

 some fields being half rotten. Turnips average ; squashes are late 

 and the very heavy frost of the 20th hit them hard. Very few 

 apples and pears ; some grapes ; cranberries good as far as raised. 



Rowe (J. F. Brown). — Corn is fully an average crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are above the average. Fall seeding is about the
