age. About nine-tenths of the usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done, and it is looking well. Very little fertilizer other than 

 stable manure is used in fall seeding. Potatoes are not over three- 

 fourths of a full crop. Boot crops will be light, with the excep- 

 tion of turnips. Apples are a light crop. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



ft 



Attleborough (Isaac Alger). — Corn is a full average crop. 

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

 amount of fall seeding has been done, and is in good condition. 

 No fertilizers other than stable manure are used in fall seeding; 

 to any extent. Potatoes are not an average in quanta, but are 

 fully up in quality. Root crops promise well. There are no 

 apples, and cranberries are about one-third of a crop. 



Taunton (C. H. Wilmarth). — Corn is below an average crop, 

 on account of dry weather. Rowen and fall feed are not up to 

 the average. The average amount of fall seeding has been done, 

 and is in fair condition. The onion crop is below the average, 

 they being small, because of dry weather. Potatoes are below 

 the average in yield and quality. The prospect for root crops is 

 good. Apples and cranberries are about average crops. 



Digliton (A. W. Paul). — Corn is about an average crop, 

 although badly blown down. Rowen is not up to the average, 

 but fall feed is at present fully up. The average amount of fall 

 seeding has been done, and is in good condition. Fine bone is 

 used in fall seeding, about a ton to the acre. Onions are not an 

 average crop, on account of failure of seed and attacks by mag- 

 gots. Potatoes are of good quality, but the yield is less than an 

 average. The prospect for turnips is very good. Cranberries 

 are a fair crop, but apples are scarce and poor. Tomatoes are 

 late in ripening, and beans have blasted. Pears are a good crop, 

 but of poor quality. 



Swansey (F. G. Arnold). — Corn is below the average, having 

 been much damaged by the gales and having much smut. Rowen 

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

 seeding has been done, and its condition is good. Ashes, ground 

 bone and potash are used in fall seeding. Potatoes were a little 

 below the average. Beets are good, but late turnips will be light. 

 Apples were nearly all blown off, but the cranberry crop is good. 



Dartmouth (L. T. Davis). — Corn is about ninety percent of 

 an average crop. Rowen is not so good as some years, but fall 

 feed is very good. Fall seeding has been quite extensive, and is 

 looking very good. Bone and ashes and other forms of potash
