not be sufficient to supply the home demand, but there is a fair 

 crop of peaches. 



Southampton (C. B. Lyman). — The corn crop is fully up to the 

 average. Rowen is very good and fall feed is better than the 

 average. Some fall seeding has been done, but much remains to 

 be done. Onions are not as good a crop as usual and have not 

 ripened well. Potatoes are very uneven, a few good fields and 

 many light ones, with many complaints of rot. Late market- 

 garden crops are not up to the average. Apples very few ; pears, 

 peaches and grapes very good crops. 



Westhampton (H. A. Parsons). — Indian corn is a full crop. 

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

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

 Onions are not raised. Half the potatoes have rotted. The pros- 

 pect is good for root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops. Apples are a one-third crop ; some grapes. 



Chesterfield (Horatio Bisbee). — Corn is a good crop, fully up 

 to the average. Frequent rains have kept feed good and produced 

 a good rowen crop. I have not noticed as much seeding as usual, 

 perhaps on account of farmers being a little behind with their work. 

 The potato crop is very uneven, some having a good crop while 

 other fields are almost a failure, and much rot is reported after 

 harvesting. Apples are a very light crop ; other fruits not much 

 raised. 



Goshen (Alvan Barrus). — Indian corn is late and rather below 

 the average. Rowen and fall feed are fully up to the average. 

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done. Very few pota- 

 toes were raised and those few are hardly up to the average. 

 Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops promise to 

 be about average. Apples very light and poor; pears good; no 

 peaches ; grapes medium but late ; cranberries good. The season 

 has been very wet for harvesting and help is scarce. 



HAMPDEN COUNTY. 



Tolland (E. M. Moore). — Indian corn will be a good average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are more than average crops. Potatoes 

 are yielding fairly well but are mostly decayed, so that the yield 

 is of little use. Root crops, such as turnips, will be average crops. 

 Apples are a failure ; there are some pears ; grapes and cranberries 

 are plenty. 



Granville (Joseph Welch). — Corn is a very good crop but 

 rather late. The rowen crop is the best we have ever had. Onions 

 are not raised as a market crop. Potatoes are the poorest crop in
