crop is good but the yield is far less than usual. The prospect for 

 root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops is fair. The 

 crop of pears and peaches is good, but apples, grapes and cran- 

 berries are far below the average. 



Holland (Francis Wight) . — Indian corn is more than an 

 average crop about here. The rowen crop and fall feed are above 

 the average. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and 

 it is in good condition. Onions are not more than an average 

 crop. Potatoes are not over a two-thirds crop and of poor quality. 

 Root crops are fair ; celery, not much raised. Apples poor ; pears 

 good ; peaches light and grapes and cranberries fair. 



WORCESTER COUNTY. 



Warren (W. E. Patrick). — Indian corn is a full average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are rather above the usual average. On 

 account of the recent rains there has not been as much fall seeding 

 as usual, but it is in good condition. There is less than a normal 

 yield of potatoes of fair quality, but with considerable rot in many 

 fields. The prospect for late market-garden crops is good. There 

 are no apples of any account ; a fair crop of pears, peaches and 

 grapes. 



Spencer (H. H. Kingsbory). — We have a magnificent corn 

 crop ; ten per cent above the average. Rowen and fall feed are 

 very abundant, but it has been a difficult task to cure rowen or 

 millet. There has been no fall seeding done this season in this 

 vicinity. There is general complaint of a scant yield of merchant- 

 able potatoes, but the quality is very good. The present condition 

 of root crops is such that it is safe to predict a good crop of tur- 

 nips, cabbages and celery. There has been a large crop of pears, 

 an average crop of cranberries, a light crop of apples. 



Rutland (L. S. Dudley). — Indian corn is about an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the average. Less than the 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is in good con- 

 dition. Potatoes are a light crop and are rotting somewhat. The 

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

 is good. No apples ; plenty of pears and grapes. 



Oakham (Jesse Allen). — Indian corn is a full average crop. 

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

 amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in excellent con- 

 dition. Potatoes are about half a crop of inferior quality. Onions 

 are not raised. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops is fair. No apples or cranberries ; pears and 

 grapes abundant ; very few peaches.
