Fall feed is about up to the average but rowen is below. There 

 Las not been the usual amount of fall seeding done. Onions are 

 more than an average crop. There will be about half a crop of 

 potatoes but the quality is good. Root crops are looking well and 

 will be about average. Apples and grapes are half crops, pears a 

 full crop, no peaches and cranberries half a crop. The hail storm 

 of the 19th inst. damaged a number of the bogs, knocking off two- 

 thirds or more of the berries. 



Dermis (Joshua Crowell). — Indian corn is about an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. Thete 

 is not much fall seeding done here but the condition is very good. 

 Onions are below the usual average. Potatoes are an average 

 crop both in yield and quality. The prospect for root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops is very good. Apples 

 are very plenty and cranberries are an average crop. Cranberry 

 picking is somewhat delayed by the unfavorable weather and the 

 late fruit is all on the vines ; prices very low.

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

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

 ^condition. Onions are as good a crop as usual. Potatoes are 

 average in yield but white grubs and scab are quite general. Root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are in very good 

 condition. Apples, grapes and cranberries are very good ; pears 

 and peaches poor.

 rain. Fall seeding looks well and pastures and fall feed are in 

 good condition. Onions are more than an average crop. Potatoes 

 are rather a poor crop and have rotted some. The prospect for 

 turnips is good. Apples are very scarce. Cranberries are very 

 plenty and picking has just commenced. 



Truro (D. E. Paine). — Rowen and fall feed are not up to the 

 usual average. The average amount of fall seeding has been done 

 and is now in fair condition. Onions compare favorably with an 

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

 quality. There is a fair yield of all kinds of fruit.
