BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Falmouth (D. R. Wicks). — Corn is fully up to the average. 

 Rowen is not average, but fall feed is very good. Fall seeding 

 is completed, and looks promising. Very little commercial fertil- 

 izer is used here in seeding down. The onion crop is up to the 

 average. Potatoes are a good crop, of very fine quality. Root 

 crops are looking finely. The apple crop is a failure, and cran- 

 berries are not yet harvested. 



Sandwich (J. R. Hoi/way). — Corn is a little over half a crop. 

 The rowen crop and fall feed are up to the usual average. The 

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

 condition. Ashes and ground bone are used in fall seeding. 

 Potatoes are rather more than an average crop. There is an 

 average crop of both apples and cranberries. The cranberries 

 are very small, but all the bogs yield fair crops. 



Barnstable (John Bursley) . — Corn will not be over a three- 

 fourths crop. Rowen and fall feed are less than the usual aver- 

 age. An average amount of seeding has been done, but most of 

 it is very late. Commercial fertilizers are used in limited quan- 

 tities in fall seeding. Potatoes are a full average crop. French 

 turnips promise well. Apples are a very small crop, but there 

 is probably the largest crop of cranberries ever harvested. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell). — Corn is not over a three-fourths 

 crop. The rowen crop and fall feed are not up to the usual aver- 

 age. Not much fall seeding is done here, as spring seeding has 

 given better results. The onion crop is a little below the average. 

 Potatoes are an average crop in yield and quality. Root crops 

 promise fairly well. Apples are a very light and cranberries a 

 full crop. 



Brewster (J. H. Clark). — Corn is not quite an average crop. 

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

 amount of fall seeding has been done, and is in very good con- 

 dition. Fertilizers other than stable manure are not used to any 

 extent in seeding down. Onions are a good crop. Potatoes are 

 an average crop in yield and quality. The prospect for root crops 

 is very good. Apples are a very light crop. The cranberry crop 

 is good, but prices are low. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tisbury (Wm. J. Rotch). — Corn is just about an average 

 crop. Rowen is an entire failure, and fall feed is below the aver-
