for root crops is good. Apples are very light, quality poor ; pears 

 rather below average in quantity ; peaches full average, but rotted 

 on trees ; grapes fine. 



Westminster (I. Dickinson). — Corn is rather more than an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed not up to the usual average ; 

 little better than for the last three years. The average amount of 

 fall seeding has been done and its condition is good. Onions are a 

 very fair crop. Potatoes more than an average crop and quality 

 good. Root crops promise to be very good. The fruit crop has 

 turned out poorly. Vegetation has suffered in the last few days, 

 and rain is needed for late crops. 



Bolton (H. F. Haynes). — Indian corn is a full average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done and most of it is looking 

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

 crop in yield and quality. Root crops are looking well. No 

 apples ; peaches good ; late frost in the spring damaged grapes. 

 Corn fodder was heavy and silos will be well filled. 



Worcester (H. R. Kinney). — Indian corn promises to be an 

 excellent crop. Rowen and fall feed are looking better than for 

 a year or two past. About the usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and the early sown looks nicely. Onions look well. 

 Potatoes good in yield and quality, but some pieces have rotted 

 badly. Root crops look promising. Only a very few apples and 

 quality poor ; pears a full crop, but much damaged by hail ; peaches 

 an average crop of good quality ; grapes damaged by frost in many 

 places and some vineyards nearly ruined by hail. 



Spencer (H. H. Kingsbury). — Corn is a full average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average as temperature 

 and moisture have been favorable. The weather has been very 

 favorable for fall seeding and it is in excellent condition. Onions 

 are an average crop in quantity and quality. The yield of pota- 

 toes has been shortened by rot, but the quality is good. The pros- 

 pect for root crops is very good. Apples are a short crop and 

 much damaged by insects ; pears, peaches and grapes abundant 

 and very low in price ; cranberries a small crop. 



Sutton (O. P. Johnson). — Corn is fully up to the average if 

 not above it. Rowen and fall feed are fully average. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in splendid condi- 

 tion. The prospect for root crops is fair. Apples a poor crop ; 

 pears, peaches and grapes good ; cranberries average. 



Douglas (Wm. Abbott). — Indian corn more than an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed up to the u^ual average. About the 

 same amount of fall seedins; done as usual and is looking well.
