Marshjield (J. H. Bourne). — Corn is a little better than an 

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

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but it has not 

 grown well owing to recent dry weather. Onions are less than an 

 average crop. A few fields of potatoes yield well, others not half 

 a crop. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops is good if rain comes abundantly. Cranberries, 

 grapes, pears and peaches are good crops ; no apples. 



Pembroke (Nathaniel Morton). — Indian corn is an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are far in excess of the usual average. 

 Onions are a normal crop. Potatoes are not a normal crop in 

 yield or quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops is good. No apples ; pears fair ; no 

 peaches ; grapes fair; cranberries a two-thirds crop. 



Halifax (G. W. Hayward). — Corn has been late but we shall 

 have a good crop. There is more rowen and fall feed than for 

 many years. About the usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done and it looks fairly well. Onions are not more than half a 

 crop. Turnips are a fair crop and other root crops are in good 

 condition. There is not much fruit except pears and cranberries, 

 which are quite plenty. 



Wareham (A. B. Savary). — There is an average crop of corn. 

 Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. Very little fall 

 seeding has been done. Onions are a good crop. The yield of 

 potatoes is small but the quality is good. The prospect for root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops is good. No 

 apples ; other fruits fair crops. 



Mattapoisett (E. C. Stetson). — Indian corn is a little better 

 than an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are a little better than 

 the usual average. About the usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and it is looking well. Onions are not much raised but 

 are looking well. Potatoes are a very poor crop, both in yield and 

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

 are in quite good condition. No apples to speak of, pears and 

 grapes very good ; a large crop of cranberries. 



BARNSTABLE COUNTY.

 Onions are not raised. Potatoes are about half a normal crop. 

 Beets, turnips and cabbages look well. No apples ; pears very 

 good ; no peaches ; a few grapes. The cranberry crop is very 

 good, in some localities better than last year, in others not as good.
