NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Bellingham (J. J. O'Sullivan). —Indian corn is in fair con- 

 dition. Rowen is a good average crop. The prospect is poor fol- 

 iate potatoes, and blight has appeared. Apples poor ; pears poor ; 

 grapes good ; cranberries fair. Pasturage is in poor condition. 

 Oats and barley are fair crops. Considerable attention is paid to 

 poultry, and the income derived from it is probably 20 per cent of 

 that from the dairy. 



Medway (Monroe Morse). —Indian corn looks well. There 

 will be but very little rowen. The prospect for late potatoes is 

 very good. Apples are one-fifth of a full crop ; pears a full crop ; 

 peaches 15 per cent; grapes a full crop. Pasturage is badly 

 dried up. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson) .— Indian corn is in fair condition, 

 but needs rain. The prospect for rowen is very poor. There will 

 be an average crop of late potatoes, with no blight or rot. There 

 will be hardly any fruit of any kind. Pastures are dry and barren. 

 Oats and barley are much below the crops of former years. Some 

 farmers pay much attention to poultry, and those who do have 

 good results, and receive more profit from the poultry than from 

 the dairy. 



Foxborough (E. A. Morse). — Indian corn is fully up to an 

 average crop. Rowen is not over one-fourth of a normal crop. 

 Late potatoes promise well, with no blight or rot at present. 

 Apples fair, and cranberries a full crop. Pastures are very dry 

 and poor. Oats and barley are little raised. 



Randolph (R. A. Thayer) . — Indian corn promises a good 

 average crop. Rowen will be about two-thirds of a normal crop. 

 Late potatoes promise a good crop, with no rot. Apples very 

 scarce ; pears good ; grapes and cranberries promising. Pasturage 

 is badly dried up. Oats and barley were about half crops, and 

 were used for fodder. Our farmers raise poultry mainly for home 



use. 



Avon (S. F. Oliver).— Indian corn is in good condition. 

 Rowen will generally be a light yield. Late potatoes look very 

 well ; no sign yet of blight or rot. Apples and pears will give 

 about the usual crops. Pastures are dry and poor except on low 

 lands. Farmers here pay more attention to fancy poultry than to 

 market fowl, and the income is as great if not greater than that 

 from the dairy. 



Cohasset (E. E. Ellms). — Indian corn is in very good con- 

 dition. There will be no rowen cut. Late potatoes promise a
