an average. Potatoes are about half a crop, with quality not 

 extra and some rot. Root crops are average in yield and quality. 

 Apples are a very small crop, and cranberries an average one. 



Topsfield (B. P. Pike). — Corn is about eighty-five per cent of 

 an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual 

 average. The average amount of fall seeding has not been done, 

 aud the condition is only fair. Ashes are used somewhat in fall 

 seeding. Onions are not ripening well. Potatoes are not an 

 average crop in yield or quality. There is a very light crop of 

 both apples and cranberries. 



Marblehead (Wm. S. Phillips, Jr.). — Rowen is not quite an 

 average crop, but fall feed is fully up to the average. More land 

 has been put to grass this fall than usual, and the condition at 

 present is very good. Stable manure is almost exclusively used 

 in fall seeding. The onion crop is up to the average in quantity 

 but not in quality, many fields not having yet died down. Potatoes 

 are not an average crop, and some fields are rotting badly. The 

 prospect for root crops is excellent. There are no apples to 

 speak of. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Medway (Monroe Morse). — Sweet corn is about four-fifths 

 of an average crop. The rowen crop and fall feed are not up to 

 the usual average. Manv use from six hundred to one thousand 

 pounds per acre of some slow-acting fertilizer in seeding down. 

 Potatoes are of good quality but small, and about three-fourths of 

 an average crop. Apples were largely blown from the trees. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Corn is a good crop. Fall feed 

 is in average condition, but rowen is not up to the average. 

 More than the average amount of fall seeding has been done, and 

 it is in good condition. Fertilizers other than stable manure are 

 not used in fall seeding. Potatoes are an average crop in yield 

 aud quality. The prospect for root crops is good. Apples and 

 cranberries are poor crops. 



Medfield (Geo. R. Chase). — Corn is a first-class crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are less than fifty per cent in yield and condition. 

 More than the average amount of fall seeding has been done, and 

 it is now in good condition. Commercial fertilizers are coming 

 more and more into use in fall seeding. Potatoes are below the 

 average in yield, but of good quality. Root crops promise to be 

 average in yield. The apple crop is almost a complete failure, 

 and the cranberry crop light. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). — Corn is about three-fourths of an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual aver-
