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

 garden crops. Apples are a small crop; cranberries are doing well. 

 There has been no damage from frost. Droughty conditions still 

 prevail, and late crops are at a standstill. 



Truro (John B. Dyer). — Very little corn is grown in this locality. 

 Dry weather has nearly ruined the rowen crop, except on wet land. 

 Very little fall seeding has been done. Potatoes are a poor crop, both 

 early and late, and of poor quality. The prospect for late turnips is 

 fairly good. Pears, peaches, grapes and cranberries are fairly good, 

 but apples are very scarce. There has been no damage from frost. 



DUKES COUNTY. 

 West Tisbury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Indian corn is below an average 

 crop. Rowen is very poor, and fall feed is nearly all dried up. Not 

 much fall seeding has been done. Potatoes are below average. The 

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

 very poor. All fruits are poor crops except cranberries, which are 

 fair. There has been no injury from frost.
