fine and the milk supply has kept up well. More than the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done and it is looking finely. 

 Potatoes are not more than half a crop in quantity but the quality 

 is good. All root crops are looking well and turnips are especially 

 fine. Apples are a full crop on the mountains but there are few 

 on the plains ; perhaps a two-thirds crop in all. No peaches, 

 very few pears, grapes a full crop. 



Monson (W. M. Tucker). — Indian corn is above an average 

 crop and is nearly all cut. Rowen is a good crop where the first 

 crop was cut early, but it is not all cut yet. Not so much fall seed- 

 ing has been done as in previous years but it is looking well. 

 Potatoes are not an average crop and are poor in quality. Root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are good, though 

 not much is raised for outside markets. Apples are a very good 

 crop, no peaches, few pears, grapes abundant and fine ; a few 

 cranberries, which are rotting somewhat. 



Holland (Wm. S. Wallis). — Indian corn is fully an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. Less 

 than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, it having 

 been too dry until lately. Potatoes are a very light crop. Root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are not raised to 

 any great extent. Apples and cranberries are large crops, few 

 pears and no peaches. 



WORCESTER COUNTY. 



Sovthbridge (G. L. Clemexce) . — Indian corn is an average crop 

 but a little late in ripening. Fall feed is good but rowen is a little 

 short of an average crop. The usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and the condition is good. Potatoes are light in yield 

 but of good quality. Apples are a very large crop, pears short, 

 no peaches and grapes average. 



Warren (W. E. Patrick). — Indian corn is probably 10 per cent 

 above an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual 

 average. Less fall seeding has been done than usual and it is not 

 looking well on account of the lateness of seeding. Onions are 

 not more than half a crop. Potatoes are not quite up to the aver- 

 age in yield and quality. Celery and other late market-garden 

 crops are looking well. Apples are an immense crop ; other fruits 

 very light. 



Hardwick (F. A. Ruggles) . — Corn has eared out well and is 

 fully up to the average of last year. Rowen and fall feed are 

 more than the usual average. More than an average amount of 

 fall seeding has been done and is looking finely at the present time.
