Shelburne (G. E. Taylor). — Indian corn is 10 per cent off from an 

 average crop. Rowen is a two thirds crop, and fall feed is very short. 

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is looking well. 

 Potatoes are uneven, some fields yielding lightly and others abundantly. 

 A very few apples and grapes are all the fruit we have. Corn that came 

 up late has not yet matured. 



Conway (J. C. Newhall). — Corn is a full average crop, though some 

 pieces are late Rowen is less than an average crop, but fall feed has 

 grown very fast since the rains. Most of our fall seeding is done after 

 tobacco, and it is looking very well, though somewhat late. Potatoes 

 are yielding very well and the quality never was better. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops promise well, though not 

 much raised. Fruit is generally a short crop. Tobacco is a fine crop 

 this season and is selling for good prices. 



Wliately (Frank Dickinson).— Corn is rather late, but above the 

 average in condition. Rowen and fall feed are off in condition. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is coming forward 

 well. Onions are a heavy crop. Potatoes are fair in quantity and good 

 in quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops is good. Grapes are a fair crop ; other fruits poor. 



Montague (C. S. Raymond). — Indian corn is more than an average 

 crop. There is but a light crop of rowen, and fall feed is very short. 

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

 condition. The onion crop is immense in yield. Potatoes are more than 

 an average crop, quality excellent. Root crops are very good ; celery 

 not looking as well as usual ; cabbage and other market-garden crops 

 very good. All fruits give very short crops. Tobacco is a line crop. 



Erving (C. F. Clark). — Indian corn is more than an average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. The usual amount 

 of fall seeding has been done and it is in good condition. Onions com- 

 pare favorably with an average crop. Potatoes are an average crop in 

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

 late market-garden crops. The yield of apples, peaches and plums is 

 light. 



Orange (Ansel Harrington). — Indian corn is about an average 

 crop and was mostly put into the silo. There is about one-third crop of 

 rowen, and fall feed is short. Not much fall seeding has been done and 

 that put in is backwai'd because of dry weather. Potatoes are below the 

 average in yield but of excellent quality. Late market-garden crops 

 promise to be about average. Fruit of all kinds is not over a one-fourth 

 crop. 



New Salem (Daniel Ballard).— Indian corn appears to be a full 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are below the average. Con- 

 siderable fall seeding has been done in corn, but owing to the drought 

 it is not in very good condition. Potatoes have yielded finely and are 

 of excellent quality. Root crops, celery and other late market-gai-den 

 crops are looking well. There is a medium crop of apples ; few pears ; 

 no peaches ; and a fair yield of grapes. Chestnuts, walnuts and butter- 

 nuts will be plenty.
