has been done and it is looking well. Potatoes are not quite an average 

 crop in yield, but the quality is good. Apples have turned out 25 per 

 cent better than was expected two months ago 



Dana (E. A. Albee). — Indian corn is a full average crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are a good average but are not up to last year. About the 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done Potatoes are not more 

 than half a crop. There will be a good crop of roots, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops. Apples are not over half a crop, few pears, 

 no peaches, grapes large crop, very few cranberries. 



Wmchendon (VV. H. Sawyer). — Indian corn is an average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are 5 per cent above the average in condition. The 

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

 Potatoes are an average crop in yield and quality, but some of the fields 

 ai'e rotting badly and some that show no rot when dug develop soft rot 

 after lying a day or two. There will be a fair crop of fruit. 



Ashbiirnham (Albert Needham). — Indian corn is rather more than 

 an average crop. There is considerable more rowen than usual and 

 some of it will be fed instead of being cut owing to lack of room. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been, or is being, done. Potatoes made 

 a light yield, many fields being small and few in the hill, but the quality 

 is generally good. Winter apples are looking finely, pears a light crop, 

 other fruits but little grown. 



Gardner (A. F. Johnson). — Indian corn is an average crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed have done better than usual. An average amount of fall 

 seeding has been done and it is in good condition. Potatoes are not up 

 to the average in either yield or quality. There will be a good crop of 

 all kinds of roots, Ajjples are three-fourths of a normal crop, pears 

 one-fourth. 



Lancaster (S. C. Damon). — Corn is good and is mostly cut though it 

 was late in ripening. Rowen and fall feed are more than average crops. 

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done. Onions are a full 

 crop. Potatoes are an average crop in yield and quality. Root crops 

 are less grown than usual, but what there are look well. Apples are a 

 three-fourths crop, pears half a crop, peaches a failure, plums below the 

 average, grapes almost a failure. 



Eolden (Geo. S. Graham). — Indian corn is an average crop or more. 

 Rowen and fall feed are more than average in condition. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is too early to tell much 

 about its condition. Potatoes are not an average yield but are of good 

 quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops is very good. Apples are about a two-thirds crop, pears 

 the same, grapes good, peaches and plums scarce. 



Worcester (H. R. Kinney). — Indian corn promises to be fully an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are uj) to the usual average, but are 

 not as heavy as last year. About the usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and it is making a good start. Potatoes are a light yield but 

 of good quality. Root crops are doing well, but celery has blighted 

 badly. There is not much of a crop of apples and the quality is poor ; 

 pears light, no peaches to speak of, plums only a light crop, and grapes 

 have been damaged by the hot, wet weather. 



Westborcugh (B W. Hero). — Indian corn is an average crop. There 

 is an extra large crop of rowen and fall feed never was bettor. About 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done. Onions are but little 

 grown but are of extra quality. Potatoes are an average crop in yield 

 and quality. Root crops promise well and there is a very large crop of 

 squashes. Apples one-fourth of a crop, pears half a crop, peaches a 

 total failure, plums about half a crop owing to rot, grapes and cran- 

 berries average crops. 



Sonihborouyh (E. F. Collins). — Indian corn is a fair average crop. 

 Rowen is a great crop and fall feed is in first-class condition. The
