Sandwich (J. R. Holway). — Cranberry worms are quite plenty 

 on some bogs. Rowen promises to be a better crop than usual. 

 There will be an average crop of all winter apples except Bald- 

 wins. Potatoes promise to be the best crop for a number of years. 

 If the nights are not too cool, corn will be a good crop. Fodder 

 crops are all looking well. Pasturage is rather short, but is above 

 the average for this time of year. 



Mashpee (W. F. Hammond). — The cranberry fruit worm is 

 doing some damage. Rowen promises to be a very good crop. 

 Winter apples are very scarce in this vicinity. Potatoes are a very 

 good crop, but a few fields are struck with the blight. Corn 

 is a good crop. Fodder crops are doing well. Pasturage is in 

 very good condition. The oat crop is about the same as last year. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell) . — The fruit worm on cranberries is 

 our most troublesome insect. Rowen promises to be a good crop. 

 Winter apples are very scarce. Potatoes promise to be a full 

 crop. Corn will be more than an average crop. Fodder crops 

 are about average in condition. Pasturage is in fairly good con- 

 dition. Very few oats are sown and those are cut for hay. 



Brewster (J. H. Clark). — The cranberry worm is doing the 

 most damage. The prospect for rowen is very good indeed. Win- 

 ter apples will be a poor crop. Potatoes promise to be a very good 

 crop. Corn is a very good crop. All fodder crops are doing very 

 well. Pasturage is in excellent condition. The oat crop is about 

 the same as that of last year.

 crop good. Prospect for winter apples poor. Potatoes a large 

 crop, but inclined to rot. Corn promises to be a fair crop. Fod- 

 der crops for green feeding are in good condition. Pasturage is

NANTUCKET COUNTY. 

 Nantucket (C. W. Gardner). — Corn worms, cabbage worms 

 and potato bugs are doing some damage. Rowen promises to be 

 an extra crop. No winter apples. Potatoes have rotted badly, 

 on account of so much bad weather. Corn does not look as well 

 on heavy land as it does on light. Fodder crops are in extra good 

 shape. Pasturage is in better condition than for the last ten 

 years. Oats a very fine crop, but mostly cut for fodder.
