tion. Ouions are fully as good as in average years. Potatoes 

 are more than an average crop in yield and quality. Tlie prospect 

 for root crops is very good. The apple crop is very light; other 

 fruit crops are very good. 



DUKES COUNTY. 

 West Tislmry (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Corn is about an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed were looking very much better than 

 the average until the dry weather set in, but unless it rains soon 

 fall feed will be a failure. Not much fall seeding is done here. 

 Potatoes are better than an average crop in both quality and quan- 

 tity. Unless we get rain soon the prospect for root crops will be 

 poor. Apples, pears and peaches are very poor crops ; grapes 

 are a good crop. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (C. W. Gardner). — Indian corn is about an aver- 

 age crop. Rowen and fall feed are rather better than the usual 

 average. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is 

 looking well. Onions are a better crop than for the last two years. 

 Potatoes are nearly an average crop in quantity and quality. Root 

 crops promise to be very good.
