grown. Apples an immense crop, few pears, no peaches, grapes 

 and cranberries good. Late sown Hungarian grass and barley are 

 very poor. Army worms, have appeared in all parts of the town 

 but no great amount of damage is reported. 



Hojikinton {W . V. Thompson). — Indian corn is about an aver- 

 age crop. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. 

 The average amount of fall seeding has been done and it is looking 

 well. Potatoes are below the average both in yield and quality. 

 Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops have suffered 

 from dry weather. Apples are a very large crop, no pears or

ESSEX COUNTY. 



Haverhill (Eben Webster) . — Indian corn is a full average 

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

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

 looking well. Potatoes are an average crop both in yield and 

 quality. Celery and other late market-garden crops are looking 

 well. Apples and grapes are abundant. 



Salisbury (Wesley Pettengill). — Indian corn is better than 

 an average crop. Rowen is hardly up to the average, and fall feed 

 is in only fair condition. Less than the usual amount of fall seed- 

 ing has been done, but what has been sown is looking well. Onions 

 are rather below the average. Potatoes are not an average crop 

 in either yield or quality. The white grub has been quite trouble- 

 some and has eaten potatoes badly, especially on sod land. Apples 

 are a great crop of smooth fruit ; few pears ; no peaches ; grapes 

 looking well and cranberries fair. 



Neiohury (G. W. Adams). — Indian corn is a full average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. The average 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is rather backward in 

 condition. Onions are about half a crop. Potatoes are about GO 

 per cent of a full crop. Root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops are very good on high land, but frosts have touched 

 those on low ground a little. Apples are a large crop, very few 

 pears and peaches, grapes nearly a full crop. 



Danvers (C. H. Preston). — Indian corn is an average crop. 

 Rowen was rather a small crop. Fall seeding was necessarily late 

 on account of the dry weather, but is looking well. Potatoes are 

 rather under the average in yield and quality. Root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops promise well. Apples are a 

 large crop, but other fruits are very light.
