Manchester (John Baker) . — Corn is a good average crop. 

 Rowen aud fall feed are up to the usual average. The usual 

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

 few onions are raised here. Potatoes are an average crop both in 

 yield and quality. Root crops, celery and other late market-gar- 

 den crops promise well. Apples, pears and cranberries are all 

 good crops. 



Marblehead (W. S. Phillips, Jr.). — Indian corn compares 

 favorably with the crops of former years. Rowen was not a par- 

 ticularly heavy crop, but fall feed is good. Not much seeding has 

 yet been done, but the condition of that which is in is excellent. 

 Onions are much less than an average crop, perhaps 60 per cent 

 of the average. Potatoes are good in quality, but the yield is not 

 up to that of last year. The prospect for root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops is very good. Baldwin apples are 

 very abundant, but the fall varieties are rather scarce. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Medway (Monroe Morse). — ludian corn is a full crop. Feed 

 was short in the early fall, but the rains have started it. Rowen 

 started well, but hot dry weather cut it short. Fall seeding was 

 delayed by drought and is very late, and much seed does not yet 

 show. Potatoes did not fulfil the promise of their tops, aud the 

 crop is only average. Apples have dropped until the excessive 

 crop promised is only a full one of good quality. Pears were 

 light, peaches a total failure and grapes fair. 



Mdlis (E. F. Richardson). — There is a very heavy yield of 

 Indian corn. The rowen crop is good and fall feed is better than 

 average. About the average amount of fall seeding has been 

 done and it is looking well. Potatoes are more than an average 

 crop. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are 

 good. Apples, grapes and cranberries are more than average 

 crops, but pears and peaches are less. 



Medfidd (G. R. Chase). — Corn is slightly above the average, 

 say 110 per cent. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual aver- 

 ao-e. The average amount of fall seeding has been done and is in 

 fair condition. Potatoes are an average crop in both yield and 

 quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late mar- 

 ket-garden crops is poor. Apples are an enormous crop, pears 

 small, peaches a failure, grapes an enormous crop and cranberries 

 average. The tomato crop is a failure, owing to frost and rotting. 

 The retail price is high, 5 cents per quart even now. 



Randolph (R. A. Thayer) . — Indian corn is a good average
