crop at the present time. We have a large crop of rowen, and 

 fall feed is extra good. We have had an unusual amount of rain, 

 and newly-seeded land looks very nice. Onions are not a full 

 crop. Late potatoes are from one-half to two-thirds of an average 

 crop. Most root crops are in good average condition, but celery 

 is hardly up to the average. Apples are an extra crop, pears and 

 peaches very few, grapes a good average crop, and cranberries 

 about half a crop. The stormy weather injured the rowen crop 

 very much, but has filled wells and springs and put grass lands 

 and pastures in excellent condition. 



Cohasset (E. E. Ellms). — Indian corn is more than an aver- 

 age crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in excellent 

 condition. Onions compare well with a good average crop. Po- 

 tatoes are an average crop in yield and quality. The prospect was 

 never better for root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops. The apple, pear, grape and cranberry crops are very heavy. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Mcmf^field (Wm. C. Winter). — Corn stover is about average, 

 but owing to drought at earing time the ears are very poorly filled 

 out and are below the average. No rowen ; pastures coming up 

 and will be good soon. No seeding was done until within two 

 weeks and it will be late and poor unless we have fine weather 

 until late in the fall. Potatoes are of good quality but are below 

 average in yield, being few in a hill. Root crops, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops are all poor, owing to dry weather. 

 Apples are generally good, pears light, no peaches, grapes good 

 and cranberries fair. 



Atileborovgh (Isaac Alger). — Indian 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 in good 

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

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

 Apples, grapes and cranberries are fair crops. 



Raynham (N. W. Shaw). — Indian corn is fully up to an aver- 

 age crop. Rowen and fall feed are below the usual average. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is in very good 

 condition. Onions are not a full crop. Potatoes are not up to 

 the average either in yield or quality. Root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops promise to be very good. Apples 

 are a full crop, no peaches, few pears, grapes a large crop and 

 cranberries a good crop.
