of fall seeding has been done and is in good condition. Onions 

 are rather less than an average crop. • Potatoes are not over 60 

 per cent of a full crop, quality fair. Root crops, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops promise about average yields. Apples 

 are a very light crop ; pears heavy ; grapes a light crop ; no cran- 

 berries grown. 



Wendell (N. D. Plumb). — Indian corn is about a normal crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are the best for years. But very little fall 

 seeding has been done as yet. Potatoes are about a one-fourth 

 crop of good quality. Root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops are but very little raised. Apples are about a failure ; 

 pears good, but the peach crop is a failure, and cranberries are 

 about a normal crop. 



HAMPSHIRE COUNTY. 



Prescott (W. F. Wendermuth) . — Corn is a full average crop. 

 Rowen is a full crop and fall feed is 10 per cent above the average 

 in condition. No onions grown for market. Potatoes are about 

 25 per cent off in yield and are rotting badly. Cattle beets and 

 turnips are good crops ; no market-garden crops or celery grown. 

 Apples are about 20 per cent of a full crop ; pears a full crop ; 

 peaches very few ; grapes good, full crop ; no cranberries grown. 



Greenwich (Wm. S. Douglas). — Indian corn is a very good 

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

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done. Potatoes are less 

 than a normal crop in yield and are decaying. The prospect for 

 root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops is very good. 

 There are very few apples. 



Belchertown (H. C. West). — Indian corn is 25 per cent above 

 an average crop, the best crop for years. There is a full average 

 rowen crop and fall feed is in good condition. The usual amount 

 of fall seeding has been done, but there is much complaint that it 

 has not come up well. Potatoes are a light crop and are rotting 

 in many places. The prospect for root crops, celei'y and other 

 late market-garden crops is very fair. Apples are half a crop or 

 less ; pears good ; peaches fair. Much rain and cloudy weather is 

 good for the growth of roots and grasses, but bad for harvesting 

 late rowen, millet, Hungarian grass, etc. 



Hadley (H. C. Russell). — Corn is better than an average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Onions are a 

 three-fourths crop, but are bringing extra good prices. Potatoes 

 are a light yield with some rot. The prospect for root crops, 

 celery and late market-garden crops is fair. The apple crop will
