Onions are not more than half the crop of last year. Potatoes are 

 about half of last year's yield and are rotting badly. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops are looking well. Ap- 

 ples are an abundant crop ; no pears, peaches or grapes here. 



Templeton (Lucien Gove). — Corn is a full average in quantity 

 but the quality is rather below the average, owing to wet, cloudy 

 weather. Rowen and fall feed are better than for the last three 

 years. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and the 

 condition is extra. Potatoes are not so large a yield as last year 

 but are an average crop ; some complaint of scab, grubs and a 

 little rot. Root crops promise to be good. Apples extra, pears 

 light, no peaches, grapes fair but dropping badly. Tomatoes 

 have cracked badly, owing to the wet weather. Squashes are 

 rather small. Beans rusted, owing to the wet weather. If prices 

 were satisfactory our farmers would have very good prospects 

 before them. 



Wincliendon (W. H. Sawyer) . — Corn is more than an average 

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

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

 Potatoes are about average in quantity, though not up to last year, 

 and of average quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops is very good. Apples are plenty 

 but other fruit is scarce. More corn has been put into the silo 

 than ever before and the crop was got in good shape, without in- 

 jury from frost. 



Westminster (I. Dickinson). — Indian corn is more than an 

 average crop but is late. Rowen and fall feed are better than for 

 a number of years past. Not much fall seeding has been done yet 

 on account of the rainy weather. Potatoes are less than an aver- 

 age in quantity but of good quality. Root crops, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops promise well. Apples are abundant, 

 pears light, no peaches, grapes light and cranberries good. 



Holden (G. S. Graham) . — Indian corn is a good average crop, 

 if not more. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. 

 About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is 

 looking well. Potatoes are good in quality but the yield is not a 

 heavy one. All root crops are looking well. There is no end to 

 the crop of apples and grapes. The white grub is eating potatoes 

 badly. 



Worcester (S. A. Burgess). — Indian corn is a little above an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are more than average crops. 

 Not quite as much fall seeding as usual has been done as yet but 

 it is looking well. Onions are a fair average crop. Potatoes are 

 not quite up to the average in yield and quality. The prospect
