prices. Milk is very plenty, and cows are plenty with prices from 

 $5 to $10 less than last year. Pastures are in fine condition. 

 Strawberries promise a good crop. 



Medjield (G. R. Chase). — Canker worms have done some dam- 

 age. Acreage of Indian corn about as usual, but crop rather 

 backward. Haying has hardly begun and the crop is not more 

 than 80 per cent of an average in feeding value. The acreage of 

 early potatoes is larger than usual, but the prospect for the crop is 

 poor. Early market-garden crops are below average in yield, price 

 and quality. Quantity of dairy products large and price low ; 

 dairy cows have no value in this vicinity. Pasturage was never 

 in better condition. Strawberries made a large yield, with quick 

 sales at remunerative prices. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Canker worms, potato beetles and 

 spittle insects are doing some damage. Corn is three weeks late, 

 uneven and poor, with less than the usual acreage. Haying has 

 just commenced. The acreage of early potatoes is rather increased 

 and a large crop is promised. Market-garden crops are fairly 

 good but prices are low. Dairy products and cows are low in price. 

 Pasturage is in better condition than ever before. Strawberries 

 and blackberries promise big crops. 



Medicay (M. Morse). — Cut worms have done some damage. 

 Indian corn is very backward and the acreage rather less than 

 usual. Haying is just beginning and there is prospect of a heavy 

 crop. Acreage of early potatoes and promise for the crop both a 

 good average. Pasturage is very good indeed. Peaches, plums 

 and small fruits promise well, but apples poorly. 



BelUngham (J. J. O'Sullivan). — Tent caterpillars have proved 

 injurious. Corn is not very good color, owing to wet weather ; 

 acreage about as usual. Haying has not yet begun, but the pros- 

 pect is very good. The acreage of early potatoes is larger than 

 usual and they promise well. Market-garden crops about as usual 

 in yield and price. Quantity and price of dairy products a little 

 lower ; supply and price of dairy cows about the same. Pasturage 

 is in very good condition. Apples will be a small crop, pears 

 poor, strawberries very good. 



Wrentltam (Thomas Breen). — Currant worms and rose bugs 

 are doing some damage. Indian corn is backward and requires 

 more warm weather. Haying has not begun, but the prospect for 

 the crop is very good. Acreage of early potatoes about as usual 

 and they promise very well. The prospect for market-garden crops 

 is good though they are later than usual. The price of dairy 

 products is about as usual, but dairy cows are more in demand.
