other late market-garden crops are all looking well. Apples are an 

 enormous crop, no peaches and very few pears. The army worm 

 has made its appearance in two localities but I do not hear of its 

 spreading very much. 



Lincoln (Samuel Hartwell) . — Rowen and fall feed have much 

 improved during the month and are now average crops. About 

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

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

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops promise to be very 

 abundant. Apples and grapes are plenty, few pears and no 

 peaches. 



Wilmington (E. N. Eames). — Indian corn is about an average 

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

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

 Potatoes are not an average crop in either yield or quality. Root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops promise well. 

 Apples are a large crop of very good quality and cranberries are 

 an average crop. 



Woburn (W. H. Bartlett). — Only sweet corn is raised here 

 and that is an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are better crops 

 than usual. About the usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done and it is now looking very well indeed. Potatoes are a small 

 yield of small tubers but the quality is good. Root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops are all doing finely. Apples 

 are a heavy crop though the fruit is smaller than usual. There 

 are few pears and no peaches, and cranberries are a fair crop. 

 The frost of the 23d and 24th killed all tomato and squash vines, 

 grapes, etc. Squashes are a light crop. Cabbages fair but wormy. 

 Stock is in good condition. 



Arlington (W. W. Rawson). — Onions are a fair crop. The 

 prospect for root crops is good. Since the rains have come all 

 crops are improving and I think all fall and winter crops will be 

 more than average. Celery never looked finer. 



Newton (Otis Pettee). — Indian corn compares favorably with 

 former years. Rowen was a rather light crop but late rains gave 

 it new life. Considerable fall seeding is already in. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops are doing very well. 

 There is an abundance of apples and grapes, and but few pears or 

 peaches, 



Sherborn (N. B, Douglas), — Indian corn is 10 per cent above 

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

 Fall seeding is late and we cannot yet tell as to its condition. 

 Potatoes were a small yield but the quality is good. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops look well but are little
