backward, but what has been done looks well. No onions raised. 

 Potatoes are a good average crop, but are rotting generally. The 

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

 is good. There are almost no apples, but other fruits mentioned 

 are very good. 



Norwood (F. A. Fales). — Corn is about a three-fourths crop, 

 having suffered from excessive rains. There is more rowen here 

 than for a number of years and pastures are in good condition. 

 Onions are about 80 per cent of a normal yield, but are of poor 

 quality. Potatoes are not more than half a crop ; they blighted 

 badly, are rotting some and wire worms are eating many. Root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are poor and will 

 not be over half crops. Very few apples, pears and peaches ; fair 

 crop of grapes, and about 40 per cent of a crop of cranberries. 



Mediuay (Monroe Morse) . — Indian corn is a fair average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are somewhat above the usual average. About 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in good 

 condition. The yield per acre of potatoes is generally light and 

 the tubers very irregular in shape. Apples not more than' 5 per 

 cent of a full crop ; pears, peaches and grapes full crops. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). — Indian corn is more than an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are the best for 3'ears. But very few 

 onions are raised. Potatoes are a three-fourths yield of good 

 quality. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 promise to be more than average crops. Apples few; pears poor; 

 peaches good ; grapes light and cranberries half a crop. 



Norfolk (G. E. Holbrook). — Indian corn is a full average crop 

 and ensilage corn a heavy crop. There is more than an average 

 crop of rowen, but the weather has been very poor for curing it. 

 A large area of fall seeding has been put in and it is in very good 

 condition. Onions are not up to an average crop. Only a small 

 amount of root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 are raised here. Apples poor ; other fruits good crops. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Mansfield (Wm. C. Winter). — Indian corn is 10 or 15 percent 

 above an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are both above the 

 average in condition. Onions are little grown. Potatoes are a 

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

 market-garden crops, with perhaps the exception of squashes, are 

 in excellent condition. Apples poor; pears fair; no peaches; 

 grapes poor. 



Attlehorough (Isaac Alger). — Indian corn is a full average 

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