Kingston (J. H. Cushman). — Corn is more than an average 

 crop. Rowen is about a two-thirds crop and fall feed is poor. 

 Tliere has been more than the usual amount of fall seeding done 

 and it is looking well. Onions are more than an average crop and 

 of good quality. There is good prospect of a large crop of pota- 

 toes. Apples light ; pears good ; grapes heavy and cranberries 

 fair. 



Middleborovgli (Elbridge Cushman). — Corn is fully 15 per 

 cent better than an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are better 

 than usual. The average amount of fall seeding has been done 

 and it is looking well, although the surface of the ground is getting 

 dry. Onions are fully an average crop. Potatoes are one of the 

 largest crops ever known, excellent in quality and with but little 

 rot. The prospect for root crops is fair. Pears, peaches and 

 grapes very good ; cranberry crop average ; apples poorest for 

 years, practically no Baldwins and very few Greenings. 



BARNSTABLE COUNTr. 



Barnstable (John Bursley). — Indian corn a full average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are hardly up to the average. A full average 

 amount of fall seeding has been done ; much of it is late and very 

 little is looking well. Onions are a good average crop. Potatoes 

 are an average crop in yield and quality. Root crops promise to 

 be fair. Apples a light crop ; pears very heavy ; few peaches ; 

 grapes fair ; cranberry crop above an average. Cranberries were 

 touched with frost on the morning of September 16 in some 

 localities. 



Eastham (J. A. Clark). — Acreage of Indian corn small, but 

 crop good. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. 

 More than an average crop of potatoes. Turnips have blighted 

 badly. Ai)ples are a poor crop ; cranberries will be an average 

 crop. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell). — Corn is a full average crop. 

 September has been very dry and rowen and fall feed are not up 

 to the usual average of condition. Not much fall seeding has been 

 done. Onions are about an average crop. Potatoes are a large 

 crop, but are rotting somewhat. Root crops have suffered some- 

 what from lack of moisture. Apples are very scarce ; pears a fair 

 crop; grapes quite plenty; cranberries about half a crop, some 

 damage from frost on the 16th, but much more from the excessive 

 heat of the 21st, 22d and 23d. 



Brewster (J. H. Clark) . — Indian corn is better than an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are fully up to the average. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is in good condi-
