favorably with former years. Farmers in this vicinity pay but 

 little attention to poultry. 



Plympton (Jacob Parker) . — Corn is looking well. Rowen 

 will not give a normal crop. No blight or rot has appeared as yet 

 on late potatoes. The cranberry crop promises to be a great one. 

 Pasturage needs rain. Much attention is paid to poultry raising 

 and very little to the dairy. 



Briclgeivater (R. Cass). — Indian corn is in good condition. 

 Rowen will be below the normal in yield. The prospect for late 

 potatoes is good ; some blight, but no rot. Apples are below the 

 average ; pears good ; no peaches. Pasturage is in poor condi- 

 tion. Oats and barley are less than average crops. We have a 

 few who make a specialty of poultry, but generally speaking little 

 attention has been paid to it. 



BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Bourne (D. D. Nye). — Indian corn is a fair crop. The pros- 

 pect for rowen is favorable. Very few, if any, late potatoes are 

 grown. Apples a fair crop ; cranberries looking finely ; few 

 pears ; no peaches. Pasturage is in very good condition, but is 

 close fed. Oats and barley are good average crops. Very little 

 poultry is raised except by a few, and there are practically no 

 dairy products. 



Falmouth (D. R. Wicks). — Indian corn is about a normal 

 crop as a whole. The rowen crop will be very light, as drought 

 cut it short. Potatoes are a small crop, of fine quality ; no rot. 

 There will be fine crops of apples, pears, peaches and cranberries. 

 Pasturage is in poor condition owing to drought. Oats and barley 

 are about average crops. The incomes from poultry and the 

 dairy are about equal, as there is very little dairying clone here. 



Barnstable (John Bursley) . — Indian corn is an average crop. 

 Rowen promises to be 75 per cent of a full crop. Late potatoes 

 are a good crop ; no blight or rot noted to date. Apples and 

 grapes good ; pears and peaches light : cranberries fair. Pastur- 

 age is in good condition except where the white grub is at work. 

 Oats and barley are about average crops. The income from poul- 

 try about equals that from the dairy. 



Brewster (J. H. Clark). — Indian corn is in very good condi- 

 tion. Rowen is rather better than an average crop. White grubs 

 are doing some damage, but otherwise the prospect for late pota- 

 toes is good. The prospect for the fruit crop, as a whole, is very 

 good. Pasturage is in excellent condition. Oats and barley are 

 about average crops. Very little attention is paid to poultry.
