potatoes about average, and looking fairly well. Garden crops are 

 late. Pasturage is in very good condition. Outlook very good 

 for all kinds of small fruits and berries. 



Eastham (J. A. Clark). — No complaint of damage from 

 insects. Acreage of corn liglit, and weather rather cold for the 

 crop. The hay crop will be good on low, moist land, and light on 

 dry laud. Early potatoes look finely, with about an average acre- 

 age. The price on asparagus has ruled lower than last season. 

 Dairy products are about average in quantity and price. Pasturage 

 is in good condition. The apple crop will be light. 



DUKES COUNTY. 

 West Tisbury (Wm. J. Rotch). — Potato beetles are doing most 

 damage. Corn has an average acreage, but the crop is backward. 

 Haying is just beginning, and the crop is light. Early potatoes 

 are looking well, with probably more than the usual acreage. 

 There has been a good yield of early market-garden crops, with 

 the usual prices, and the prospect for later ones is good. Dairy 

 products are about average in yield and price. Pastures not very 

 forward. Wild berries promise a heavy yield, and garden fruits 

 and berries are looking pretty well. *
