are a normal yield, with quality good. Root crops, celery and other

HAMPSHIRE COUNTY. 



Greenwich (W. H. Glazier). — The corn crop is heavy, but late. 

 Very little rowen will be cut, and fall feed is not up to the average. 

 Not as much fall seeding as usual has been done. The yield of potatoes 

 is lighter than usual, but the quality is good. Root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops are grown for home use only. Fruit 

 is little grown here. There has been but little injury from frost. We 

 are just beginning to cut corn. 



Hadley (H. C. Russell). — Indian corn is a good crop, but is late. 

 Rowen and fall feed are below the usual average. The usual amount 

 of fall seeding has been done, and it is in fair condition. Onions are 

 late, but are curing down finely. Late potatoes are a good crop. There 

 will be a small crop of apples. There has been no injury from frost as 

 yet. 



South Hadley (W. F. Person). — Corn in this section is a little more 

 than an average crop. Very little rowen will be cut this year. Fall 

 seeding in corn looks well, but in other places it looks poorly. The 

 onion crop is good. Root crops and garden crops are good. Apples 

 are few, and of poor quality ; pears light ; peaches good ; grapes good ; 

 cranberries not grown. 



Easthampton (Wm. C. Clapp) . — Indian corn is later than usual, 

 and not up to the normal. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the 

 usual average. Hardly the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, 

 and it stands in need of rain. Potatoes seem to be fully a normal 

 crop. There is not much celery grown; other root crops up to the 

 average. There will be a light crop of apples; not many pears or 

 peaches grown. Tobacco is curing well, and farmers hope for a good 

 price. There has been no injury from frost. 



Southampton (C. B. Lyman). — Indian corn is fully up to the average, 

 but very late. Rowen is a light crop, and fall feed is about as usual. 

 About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is late, 

 and does not show up much at present. Onions are rather less than a 

 normal crop. Potatoes are a large yield on some fields and very small 

 on others; quality never better. Not much is done here with market- 

 garden crops. Apples are a light crop; pears, peaches and grapes a 

 full crop. No injury from frost. 



Westhampton (Levi Burt). — Indian corn is full average crop. 

 Fall feed is not up to the usual average, and rowen is not over half a 

 crop. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is in fine 

 condition. Potatoes are of good quality, and the crop is fully normal. 

 Apples are not picked as yet, but are of good quality. There was a
