a good crop on newly seeded ground, but old meadows were light ; 

 quality good. Early planted potatoes did very well, but those 

 planted later suffered from drought; price $1.00 to $1.25 per 

 bushel. Market-garden crops have yielded well, but the demand 

 has been less than usual. Apples, pears and peaches are scarce, 

 but grapes and cranberries promise a good crop. Pasturage is 

 below average condition. Rye was an average crop. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY 



Nantucket (C. W. Gardner). — The potato beetle is doing the 

 most damage. Field corn is looking finely ; none used for ensilage. 

 Hay was about a two-thirds crop, of excellent quality. Potatoes 

 are a medium crop, with the price from $1.25 to $1.50 per bushel. 

 Market-garden crops are very late, and prices very low. Pastures 

 are very dry. Rye was about an average crop.
