But little fall seeding has been done but what there is looks well. 

 Potatoes appear to be about an average crop in yield and quality. Root 

 crops are looking well and celery has made a fine growth this year. 

 The apple crop is not heavy ; but tew pears, peaches and plums ; grapes 

 about an average ; cranberries light. 



Orange (Ansel Harrington). — Corn will be a full average crop 

 except some pieces which were t)adly damaged by the wind. The rowen 

 crop is the heaviest ever known and fall feed is excellent. Very little 

 fall seeding has been done as yet. Onions are about an average crop. 

 Potatoes are a light crop but the quality is very good. Fruit of all kinds 

 is hardly up to the average. 



HAMPSHIRE COUNTY. 



Greenwich (Wm. S. Douglas). — Indian corn is quite 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. Pota- 

 toes are not a full crop but are of good quality. The crop of fruit will 

 not be vei'y full and apples have fallen off in condition since last month. 



Pelham (J. L. Brevier). — Corn is irregular in ripening but is above 

 the average in yield. Rowen and fall feed are looking well. More than 

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

 Onions are more than an average crop. Potatoes are not up to the 

 average in yield and quality. The prospect for root cro^^s, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops is eneonraging. Apples have fallen 

 badly, pears are poor in quality, peaches few, grapes and cranberries 

 plentiful and of fine quality. The unseasonable cold of last spring had 

 a far-reaching and baneful effect on fruit. 



Amherst (H. A. Parsons). — Indian corn compares well with an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are in good condition. The average 

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

 about half a crop. Potatoes are nearly an average crop. The prospect 

 is good for root crops, celery, and other late market-garden crops.

 crops. Fruits are short crops and of poor quality. 



Norlhamjjton (D. A. Horton). — Indian corn is in very good condition 

 and shov;ld give a crop one-fourth greater than the average. Rowen 

 and fall feed are better than for years. The usual amount of fall seed- 

 ing has been done. Onions are about an average crop and of excellent 

 quality. Potatoes are not up to the average in yield and quality. The

 good in some places. 



Hatfield (Thaddeus Graves). — Indian corn is rather about the 

 usual average. Rowen and fall feed are in good condition. Not so 

 much fall seeding has been done as usual, but it is doing well. The 

 onion crop is off owing to the blast. Potatoes are about half a crop of 

 fair quality. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are 

 all doing well. There is a short crop in all kinds of fruit. Tobacco 

 made a good growth and is curing well.
