Lndloiv (C. B. Bennett). — Corn 5 per cent above an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed a little below the usual average. About 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is looking 

 well. Potatoes are above the average in yield, but not of extra 

 quality. Root crops are looking very well. Apples and pears are 

 about half a crop, but grapes are a fine crop. 



Wilbraham (F. E. Clark). — Corn is 20 per cent above an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed below average and many 

 farmers are depending entirely upon soiling. Fully the average 

 amount of fall seeding has been done. Potatoes are a full aver- 

 age yield, but many fields are rotting badly. The prospect for 

 root crops is very fair. Apples half a crop ; pears and grapes 

 full average crops. Fall seeding that was sowed early has in 

 many instances failed to germinate and has to be reseeded. 



Monson (A. H. AVhite). — Corn is a full average crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are not up to the usual average. The usual amount 

 of fall seeding has been done, but it is growing slowly and is in 

 need of rain. Potatoes are an average crop in yield and quality. 

 Root crops promise to average well with former years. Apples 

 are scarce and dropping badly ; pears, peaches and grapes are 

 plenty. Weather good for harvesting crops. 



WORCESTER COUNTY. 



Warren (W. E. Patrick). — Indian corn considerably above 

 an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are about 90 per cent of 

 an average in condition. About the usual amount of fall seeding 

 has been done and it is looking very well. Onions are a good 

 average crop. Potatoes are 25 per cent above an average crop ; 

 quality good though there is some complaint of rot. Prospect good 

 for late growth of root crops ; great growth of turnips. Apples 

 a failure ; pears, peaches and grapes a very large crop. 



North Brookjield (J. H. Lane). — Indian corn more than an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed not up to the condition of for- 

 mer years. Fall seeding has made but little growth. Potatoes are 

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

 is fair. Apples 20 per cent of a full crop ; pears 60 per cent ; 

 peaches 25 per cent ; grapes 75 per cent. There are hardly any 

 cranberries, and exposed apples were injured by hail. 



Templeton (Lucien Gove). — Corn is above average in quantity 

 and of good quality. Rowen is better than last year, but not an 

 average crop ; fall feed the same. The usual amount of fall seed- 

 ing has been done and it is in far better condition than last season. 

 Onions are a full average crop. Potatoes are above an average 

 in quantity, of good quality and with very little rot. The prospect
