promises a good crop. The prospect for rowen is very good, 

 owing to the late rains. The late potato crop will be good ; have 

 noticed neither blight nor rot. Apples and pears are small crops ; 

 cranberries are very good crops at present. Pasturage is in good 

 condition. Poultry raising is not carried on to any extent by our 

 farmers, and the proportional income derived from it is small when 

 compared with the dairy. 



WeUfleet (E. S. Jacobs). — Rowen is an unusually good crop. 

 Potatoes promise a plentiful crop, and there is not much blight or 

 rot. The apple crop is a small one. Pasturage is in good condi- 

 tion. There is more income derived from poultry than from the 

 dairy. Grapes are quite plentiful, but are not ripening very well. 

 Cranberries are an uncertain crop as yet. Pears are quite plenty. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (C. W. Gardner). — Indian corn is in very fine con- 

 dition. Rowen bids fair to be a very heavy crop. Potatoes are 

 rotting somewhat. There will be a fair crop of fruit. Pastures 

 were never in better condition. Oats and barley are not up to the 

 average. There is a great deal of poultry raised and sold here, 

 and it pays well, though the price is down. The income derived 

 from poultry is about two-thirds that from the dairy.
