bages look well but are quite wormy. Squashes are a light crop, 

 the vines dying badly in the summer. 



Amesbury (F. W. Sargent). — Indian corn is an average crop. 

 There has been an unusual amount of rowen harvested. Onions 

 are a three-fourths crop. Potatoes are a light crop of poor quality, 

 and rotted on some fields. Roots promise fairly well but celery is 

 a poor crop. There are scarcely any winter apples ; pears plenty 

 and grapes the same. 



Haverhill (Eben Webster). — Corn is rather more than an 

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

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done. Onions are less 

 than a normal crop. Potatoes have made a fair yield, but there is 

 some rot on late fields. Apples light ; pears medium ; no peaches ; 

 grapes fair. 



Groveland (Abel Stickney). — Corn is more than an average 

 crop. There is a large crop of rowen and fall feed is plentiful. 

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and more will be 

 done, that which was in early is looking finely. Potatoes are a 

 normal crop of fine quality. The prospect is generally good for 

 root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. Apples 

 very few ; pears plenty ; some peaches ; grapes a fair crop. 



Ipsivich (O. C. Smith). — Indian corn is more than an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are generally above the average. Not 

 as much fall seeding as usual has been done, but what new fields 

 have been laid down are doing well. Onions are not as good a 

 crop as usual. Potato vines grew large, but the crop is 40 per 

 cent below the average. Late market -garden crops are not much 

 raised for sale but gardens are generally giving good crops of all 

 vegetables. Apples very poor ; pears small ; grapes normal ; cran- 

 berries good. 



Wenham (N. P. Perkins). — Not much corn is raised except 

 for fodder and the silo. There is a good crop of rowen on well 

 manured land and a fair amount of fall feed. Fall seeding is 

 rather backward and there is some yet to be done. The onion 

 crop varies, some fields yield fairly well and others are quite light. 

 Potatoes are rather a light yield of fair quality. Not much celery 

 raised ; carrots hardly up to the average ; cabbages and parsnips 

 quite good. Apples very short; pears good ; no peaches ; grapes 

 and cranberries not much of a crop. Tomatoes have been a good 

 crop, but prices are quite low. Squashes are nearly a failure.
