and small at that and are also all rotting. Celery leaves are turning 

 yellow and roots are not doing very well. Peaches, plums and grapes 

 are full crops, while apples, pears and cranberries fall below the aver- 

 age. 



North Andover (Peter Holt, Jr.) —Indian corn is a full average 

 ci'op. Rowen and fall feed are above the average. The usual amount 

 of fall seeding has been done and is in fine condition. Onions are a 

 good average crop. Potatoes are a very light yield and are rotting 

 badly. Root crops, celery, and other late market-garden crops are not 

 as good as usual. Apples are a light crop of poor quality ; some peach 

 trees have borne good crops ; pears, plums and grapes are small in yield 

 and poor in quality ; there is a full crop of cranberries. 



Andover (M. H. Gould). — Indian corn compares favorably with an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are more than average crops. The 

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

 Onions are a very small crop. Potatoes are not an average crop in yield 

 or quality. The jirospect is good for root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops. Fruit of all kinds has not done as well as usual. 

 Cucumbers raised for pickles have been a good crop. 



Ipswich (O. C. Smith). — Indian corn is below the average as to grain 

 and above as to fodder. Rowen is 50 per cent above an average crop 

 and fall feed is plenty. Not as much seeding has been done as usual 

 owing to the wet weather, but what has been put in is growing finely. 

 Onions are 10 per cent above an average crop. Some fields of potatoes 

 were plowed under, some wei'e half rotten, and some gave large 

 yields of good quality. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops are all doing finely. All fruits are below the average, grapes 

 mature slowly, apples coloring well. 



Weiiham (N. P. Perkfns). — What corn is raised in this locality is a 

 good crop. The rowen crop is larger than usual and fall feed is about 

 as good as in other years. Not as much fall seeding as usual has been 

 done as yet, but considerable will be sown late or in the spring. Onions 

 are not generally as good a crop as usual. Potatoes are less than an 

 average crop and the quality is rather poor on low land. Carrots and 

 beets are not average crops and parsnips are not good size. There are 

 but few apples, pears or cranberries, and peaches, plums and grapes ax'e 

 not raised to any extent. 



Haynillon (Alvin Smith). — Indian corn is more than an average 

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

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but that which is in is doing 

 pretty well. Onions are about an average crop. Potatoes are very good 

 in quality but have not made more than half a yield. The prospect for 

 root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops is extra. Apples, 

 pears and grapes are good crojjs; cranberries a failure. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Cohasset (E. E. Ellms). — Indian corn is better than an average crop. 

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

 fall seeding has been done and is in good condition. Onions are a good 

 average crop. Potatoes are not up to the average in either yield or 

 quality. The prospect is good for root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops. All kinds of fruit are very poor crops this year. 



Stoughton (C. F. Curtis). — Indian cox-n is fully up to the average. 

 Rowen and fall feed are better than usual. The average amount of fall 

 seeding has been done and the condition is first rate. Potatoes are less 

 than an average crop owing to rot, but the quality is all right otherwise. 

 Apples and pears are only half crops ; grapes are late in ripening ; 

 cranberries are a good crop where flowed, but on meadows are only 

 about a third of a crop.
