crops are in good condition and those already harvested have been 

 better than in former years in yield and price. There will be a 

 good crop of cranberries, apples and pears. Pasturage is in good 

 condition. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tishury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Potato beetles and corn 

 worms are doing some damage. Corn is looking well where there 

 are no worms ; no silos here. The hay crop is below average in 

 quantity but of good quality. A little fodder corn is about the 

 only thing raised for forage. Potatoes are late and not many are 

 harvested as yet. The prospect for apples is fair. Pasturage is 

 in very good condition. Oats are a good crop. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (C. W. Gardner). — Cut worms and potato bugs 

 ai'e doing some damage. Corn is looking finely ; no silos here. 

 Hay is a two-thirds crop of good quality. Corn, Japanese millet 

 and oats are the principal forage crops. All garden crops are 

 looking finely but potatoes are not half a crop. Cranberries are 

 looking very well. Pasturage is in very good condition. Rye did 

 not do as well as usual but oats are a fine crop.
