Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops ar.e not grown 

 for market. Apples, pears and peaches are light; grapes normal. 

 There has been no damage from frost. 



Deerfield (D wight A. Hawkes) . — Corn is better than a normal 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are much below the usual average. The 

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

 Onions are an average crop. Potatoes are a full average in yield and 

 quality. Apples are somewhat below an average crop. There has been 

 no injury from frost. 



Sunderland (Geo. P. Smith). — Corn is a normal crop or better, 

 and is now well matured. Rowen and fall feed are good on fertile land. 

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it looks well. 

 Onions are more than an average yield, of good quality. Potatoes are 

 a fair yield, of good quality. Root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops are not much grown. All fruit except grapes is much 

 below the normal. There has been no damage from frost. Onions are 

 selling at 50 cents per bushel. Tobacco has cured well, and many 

 crops have been sold at from 14 to 15 cents per pound in the bundle. 



Wendell (N. D. Plumb). — Indian corn is somewhat backward, but 

 above a normal crop. Fall feed is very backward, on acpount of 

 drought; and rowen is not over half a normal crop. Potatoes are 

 about a three-fourths crop in quantity, and of good quality. Root 

 crops, celery and other market-garden crops are raised for home use 

 only. There is about a normal fruit crop. The frost has done some 

 damage along the lowlands and streams. 



Northfield (T. R. Callender) . — Indian corn is fully up to an 

 average crop, and is now practically safe from frost. Rowen is about 

 half a full crop, and fall feed is below the average. Fall seeding is 

 looking well, with about the usual amount. Onions are about a 

 normal crop. The yield of potatoes is generally good, and the quality 

 excellent. All roots and late garden truck are looking well. Apples 

 are a light crop. There has been no injury from frost. Sweet com 

 for canning was below an average crop; all harvested this week. 

 Cucumbers for pickles not up to the average of the last few years, 

 but a fairly profitable crop. 



Orange (Wm. A. Taylor). — Indian corn is about a normal crop. 

 There is not over 25 per cent of the usual yield of rowen and fall feed. 

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

 is in fair condition. Yield of potatoes, 50 per cent; quality good. 

 The prospect for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 is fair. Apples are below average; other fruits good. There have 

 been slight frosts, doing little or no damage. 



New Salem (Daniel Ballard) . — The corn crop is late in ripening, 

 and perhaps a little under the average. Rowen and fall feed are below 

 the average. There is about the usual amount of fall seeding done, 

 and it is looking fairly well. Onions are not much raised. Potatoes
