being perhaps half a crop. Root crops promise poorly, but are little 

 grown. All fruits, including cranberries, have turned out well. 



Sandwich (J. R. IIolway). — Indian corn is about a three-fourths 

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

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done because of dry weather. 

 Onions are a good crop. Potatoes are an average crop in yield and 

 quality. Apples, pears, peaches and grapes are good crops. There are 

 good yields of ci'anberries on some bogs, and on others none at all ; 

 should say there was an average crop. 



Mashpee (W. F. Hammond). — There will be about an average crop 

 of Indian corn. Rowen and fall feed are about up to the average. Less 

 than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done thus far. There 

 is an average crop of onions. Potatoes are an average crop of good 

 quality. Roots and late market-garden crops are looking well. Apples, 

 peaches and grapes are one-half crops ; pears a full crop ; no plums ; 

 cranberries a full crop. 



Barnstable (John Bursley). — Corn is a little more than an average 

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

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done. Potatoes are an aver- 

 age crop in yield and superior in quality. Turnips have suffered for 

 rain ; no other market-garden crops gi'own. Apples, peai's and cran- 

 berries give large crops ; other fruits light. Cranberries are three- 

 fourths harvested, without any damage from frost. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell). — Corn is a full average crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are not up to the usual average. Not much fall seeding 

 has been done. Onions are more than an average crop. Potatoes are 

 off in yield and quality. Root crops promise to be good. Apples and 

 pears are full crops ; grapes a large crop ; cranberries about average. 

 The latter part of the season has been too dry for most crops. 



Wellfleet (E. S. Jacobs). — Rowen and fall feed are about up to the 

 usual average. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is 

 looking well. But few onions are raised and the crop is about average. 

 Potatoes are above the average in yield and quality. The prosj^ect is 

 good for root crops. Apples are abundant, as every ti*ee, old or young, 

 seems to be full of fruit of good quality. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (C. W. Gardner). — Indian corn is about an average 

 crop. Very little rowen will be cut. There has been no fall seeding 

 on account of dry weather. The onion crop is not up to the average, 

 owing to injury from maggots. The prospect is very good for root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. Cranberries have 

 been injured by frost.
