Cheshire (L. J. Northrop). — Indian corn is more than an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed never looked better in my recollection. 

 Some fall seeding has been done and is looking well. Potatoes are a 

 little off from the average but are of a good qufuity. Root crops are not 

 as good as usual as a general thing and some fields are a failure. Apples 

 are forty per cent off" from a full crop, pears plenty. 



Neiv Ashford (Elihu Ingraham). — Indian corn is more than an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are better than usual. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done and is looking finely. Onions are 

 an average crop. Potatoes are a light crop of good quality. The pros- 

 pect is good for i-oot crops, celery and other late mai'ket-garden crops. 

 Fruits of all kinds have yielded very poorly. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



Monroe (D. H. Sherman). — Indian corn is fully up to an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed ai'e away ahead of the usual condition. No 

 fall seeding is done in this section. Potatoes are an average crop in 

 yield and quality, but some fields are rotting badly. Turnips are look- 

 ing well. Apples are perhajjs sixty per cent of an average crop. 



Heath (O. D. Canedy). — Indian corn is better than an average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are the best I have seen for years. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done and is looking well. Onions are 

 a fair crop. Potatoes are not up to an average crop. The jDrospect is 

 fair for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. Apples 

 are a fine crop. 



Leyden (U. T. Darling). — Indian corn is fully up to an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are better than usual. The usual amount 

 of fall seeding has been done and it is looking well. Potatoes are an 

 average crop of good quality, but are rotting badly in some localities. 

 But little attention is paid to root crops, celery, and other late market- 

 gai'den crops. Apples a light crop, pears average, peaches light, no 

 plums, grapes a fair crop. 



Shelburne (G. E. Taylor). — Corn is not more than three-fourths of 

 an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are ten jjer cent above the usual

 finely and never looked better. Potatoes are reported to be below an 

 average crop and are I'otting. Pears, j)eaches and plurns are short crops 

 and apples are below the average.

 Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. The usual amount of

 badly. The prospect for root crops and celery is good. There is an 

 average crop of apples in this town and they are of excellent quality ; 

 other fruits about average crops.
