Potatoes are about an average crop, but the quality is extra good. Root 

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

 well. There is a good crop of pears, grapes and cranberries, but apples 

 and peaches are scarce. 



Maynard (L. H. Maynard). — Indian corn is below the average in 

 quantity and quality. The recent heavy rains have had a marked bene- 

 ficial effect on rowen and fall feed. The usual amount of fall seeding 

 has been done, and though early sown fields have suffered somewhat 

 the present condition appears to be good. Onions never were a better 

 crop ; yield enormous and quality superior. Potatoes made an average 

 yield, but white grubs have damaged them considerably. The prospect 

 for root crops is excellent, with the exception of turnips. Apples are a 

 short croj) ; also pears, peaches and plums ; grapes and cranberries 

 plenty. 



Stow (G. W. Bradley). — Corn is about a two-thirds crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are very near a failure in this vicinity. Owing to drought 

 there has not been very much fall seeding so far. Onions are about an 

 average crop. Potatoes are a full average crop of good quality. Root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are but little raised, 

 and have suffered from drought. Apples are small and wormy ; pears 

 a light crop, but very good ; peaches and plums a failure ; grapes quite 

 plenty and very good ; cranberries damaged by frost. There will be a 

 large crop of squashes. 



Townsend (G. A. Wilder). — Indian corn is more than an average 

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

 amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in good condition. 

 Onions are less than an average crop. Potatoes are a very good crop, 

 with no sign of rot. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops promise about the same as usual. Apples poor ; pears less than 

 average ; no peaches ; plums average ; grapes good ; cranberries good. 



Peppcrell (P. J. Kemp). — Indian corn is about an average crop. 

 Rowen is a very light crop. Fully the usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and it looks fairly well, considering the dry weather. Onions 

 are more than an average crop. The prospect is for more than average 

 crops of roots, celery and other late market-garden crops. There are no 

 apples, pears or peaches ; and very few grapes and plums. 



Loivell (C. L. Marshall). —Indian corn is an average crop and is 

 better than last year. Rowen and fall feed are below average on account 

 of drought. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is 

 in poor condition. Onions are a comparatively good crop. Potatoes are 

 below the average in yield, but the quality is the very best. Most late 

 market-garden crops are good, but vines have been destroyed by blight. 

 No apples to speak of ; pears good ; no peaches ; grapes a fair yield ; 

 cranberries poor. 



Tewksbury (G. E. Crosby). — Corn is 20 per cent off from an average 

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

 amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is not looking as well as 

 usual, owing to dry weather. Onions are a good crop. Potatoes are 

 off in yield, but of good quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and
