Dedhani (A. W. Cheever). — Indian corn is a full average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are 15 per cent above the average in condition. 

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in average 

 condition. Potatoes appear to be a better crop than was expected with 

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

 much grown, but are a full average in quality. Apples declined in 

 condition from last month and are very maggotty, pears in moderate 

 supply, peaches fairly abundant, few plums, grapes a full crop but too 

 late to ripen. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Indian corn is about an average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are much better than usual. Not quite as much 

 seeding as usual has been done on account of wet weather, but that 

 which has been done looks extra fine. Onions are a fair crop. Pota- 

 toes are a good crop both in quantity and quality. The prospect is fair 

 for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. There are 

 very small crops of all the fruits. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). — The season has been too wet for corn and 

 other grains and less than a full crop has been harvested. Hay, rowen 

 and fall feed have been very heavy crops. Less than the usual amount 

 of fall seeding has been done, but it looks well. Onions are an average 

 crop. Potatoes blighted on many fields and are not over half a crop. 

 Fruit is from one-half to three-fourths of a crop, apples being less than 

 half a crop. 



Bellingham (J. J. O'Sullivan) . — Indian corn is about an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are better than usual. Very little fall seed- 

 ing has been done. Potatoes are an average ci'op as to yield and quality. 

 Few apples, pears, peaches or plums; grapes good crop; cranberries 

 less than average. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Mansfield (Wm. C. Winter). — Corn is somewhat above the usual 

 average. Rowen and fall feed are very much above the usual average. 

 Not quite as much fall seeding as usual has been done, but that which 

 is in is in good condition. Onions are an average crop but are not much 

 raised. Potatoes are below the average in yield and quality but are 

 better than last year. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops are all in excellent condition with prospects of the best. Apples 

 and pears are less than average crops ; peaches and plums a failure ; 

 grapes badly mildewed and not ripening well, but otherwise a good crop ; 

 cranberries a fair crop. 



Norton (Wm A. Lane). — Indian corn is more than an average crop. 

 There is a large crop of rowen and fall feed is very good. More fall 

 seeding than usual has been done. Onions are a good crop but are not 

 much raised. Potatoes are about an average crop of good quality. The 

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

 crops. Apples have been fairly good, no peaches, plums rotted very 

 badly, and frost has taken some of the cranberries. 



Seekonk (F. A. Howe). — Indian corn is about an average crop. 

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

 fall seeding has been done and is looking fairly well, but needs rain 

 badly. Onions are hardly up to an average crop. Potatoes made an 

 average yield but are badly worm eaten. Root crops, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops are all looking well now. Asparagus looks 

 much better than a year ago and I have not seen any blight this fall. 

 There is a very small crop of all kinds of fruit. 



Raynham (N. W. Shaw). — Indian corn is fully an average crop. 

 I never knew rowen and fall feed to be in as good condition. But 

 very little seeding has been done as yet. Onions are less than an 

 average crop. Potatoes have not made a large yield, but the quality is 

 fair. The prospect is good for root crops, celery and other late market-
