promised. No change in quantity or price of dairy products.

 average. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Potato beetles, cut worms, rose 

 bugs and spittle insects are all doing damage. Corn is looking 

 well but with a decreased acreage. Haying commenced early and 

 the crop is very short on high land. Acreage of early potatoes 

 about as usual but they were uneven in coming up. Early market- 

 garden crops were about average in yield and price. Dairy prod- 

 ucts about average in quantity and price ; health of stock good. 

 Pasturage in fair condition. Strawberries are a good crop, and 

 apples promise well. 



Medjield (Geo. R. Chase). — Rose bugs are doing some dam- 

 age. Acreage of Indian corn 90 per cent of former years and 

 the crop in average condition. Haying has scarcely begun but the 

 crop is about as good as last year. Early potatoes do not promise 

 a full average crop. Yield of early market-garden ci'ops below 

 average and prices low. Quantity of dairy products right ; price 

 of butter lower than last year. Pastures are in rather poor condi- 

 tion. Strawberries are a good to large crop. 



Canton (B. R. Doody) . — Squash bugs and potato bugs are 

 doing some damage. Very little corn is grown in this locality. 

 Haying is fairly begun and an average crop is being harvested. 

 Potatoes are looking well and the acreage compares favorably with 

 former years. Cattle are in good health. Pastures are in fair 

 condition. Strawberries and currants have been quite largely 

 grown and have been quite successful. 



Cohasset (E. E. Ellms). — Cut worms and potato bugs are 

 doing some damage. Corn is looking well and the acreage is 

 about the same as usual. Haying has not commenced but will be 

 about a three-fourths crop. Acreage of early potatoes about as 

 usual and a full average crop promised. Early market-garden 

 crops have yielded well and prices are good. Dairy products 

 about as usual in quantity and price. Currants, strawberries and 

 raspberries are all good. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Mansfield (Wm. C. Wikter). — Currant worms and curculios
