Mashpee ( W. F. Hammond) . — Indian corn is more than an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are about average crops. The 

 onion crop is below the average. Potatoes are below the average 

 in yield and are inclined to rot. Late market-garden crops 

 promise to be above the average. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes 

 and cranberries half crops. 



Barnstable (John Bursley). — Corn is 10 per cent off in condi- 

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

 amount of fall seeding has been done, but that put in late suffered 

 for rain. Onions are an average crop. Potatoes are an average 

 crop in yield and quality. French turnips suffered during Septem- 

 ber for rain ; few other root crops grown. Apples very light ; 

 pears heavy ; peaches and grapes fine. Tlie cranberry crop is very 

 heavy and two-thirds of the crop has been harvested in very good 

 order. 



Chatham (E. Z. Ryder.) — Corn is less than an average crop. 

 The rowen crop is almost worthless and fall feed is in very poor 

 condition. Less than the usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done and it is in poor condition. Onions are a small crop of small 

 size. Late potatoes were less than an average crop. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops are not up to the average 

 owing to lack of rain. Apples a medium crop; pears about aver- 

 age •, grapes a little below average ; cranberries a little less than 

 an average crop. 



Easthavi (J. A. Clakk) . — Rowen and fall feed are in very good 

 condition. Potatoes are a good crop in both yield and quality. 

 Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are looking 

 well. Cranberries are a fair crop ; no apples. 



WeUjleet (E. S. Jacobs). — Indian corn compares favorably 

 with an average crop. Rowen and fall feed were damaged some- 

 what by rain as they are mostlj'on low land. Fall seeding is good 

 and promises to continue so for some time. There are very few 

 onions raised. Late potatoes are very good and above the average 

 in quality. The prospect is good for all root crops, and especially 

 good for celery. Apples are a failure, none of any amount ; grapes 

 are plentiful and cranberries far above the average. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (Wallace Gardner). — Indian corn is quite up to 

 the usual average. Rowen and fall feed are better by one-half 

 than the usual average. Onions are not at all a good crop. Pota- 

 toes are generally a short crop. Turnips and mangolds are good 

 crops, and celery and other late market-garden crops i)romise well. 

 The cranberry crop is very good.
