barley and oats are the forage crops grown. Market -garden crops 

 and potatoes promise well. Fruit of all kinds will be a light crop. 

 Pasturage is in good condition. Rye, oats and barley are average 

 crops. 



Lunenburg (J. L. Harrington) . — Potato bugs and striped 

 squash bugs are doing some damage. Corn is in good condi- 

 tion and nearly all of it will be put into the silo. Hay is the 

 largest crop for years and of good quality. Corn, oats, and oats 

 and peas are the forage crops grown. Apples will be a light 

 crop, especially Baldwins ; pears good ; plums and peaches loaded. 

 Pastures have plenty of feed in them. A heavy crop of oats is 

 being harvested, mostly for fodder. 



Wincliendon (W. H. Sawyer). — Corn is backward but looking 

 healthy ; three-fourths will be put into the silo. Hay is about an 

 average crop. Fodder corn is the principal forage crop and is 

 backward. Market-garden crops are good but backward ; pota- 

 toes are beginning to be affected with blight. Fall apples promise 

 well but there will be no winter fruit. Pasturage is in good 

 condition. 



Princeton (Preston Knight). — Potato bugs and striped squash 

 bugs are doing some damage. Corn is small and backward; fifty 

 per cent will be used for ensilage and fodder. Hay is about a 

 third more than an average crop and the quality is good. Rye, 

 oats and barley are the principal forage crops and they are in 

 good condition. Market-garden crops are very fair and prices 

 are a little better than last year. Peaches are a good crop and 

 other fruits fair. Pasturage is very good indeed. 



Bolton (H. F. Haynes). — Potato bugs are doing some damage. 

 Corn is very backward and much broken by the storms. Hay is a 

 large crop of good quality. Millet and oats are the forage crops 

 raised. Market-garden crops are poor as are also the prices. 

 Apples light, peaches and plums well loaded. Pasturage is in 

 good condition. Rye, oats and barley are nearly all cut green 

 but were good crops. Heavy rains caused the Nashua River to 

 overflow doing much damage. 



Shreivsbury (T. F. Marston). — Corn is late, but growing very 

 fast; no silos. The hay crop is extra heavy, but off in quality. 

 Millet and fodder corn are the principal forage crops, and millet 

 is extra heavy. Market-garden crops, except potatoes, are not up 

 to the average and prices are low. Pasturage is in extra good 

 condition. Apples light, pears and grapes a fair crop, peaches 

 and plums heavy. Rye, oats and barley are extra heavy being 

 mostly grown as forage crops. The wet weather has retarded 

 haying.
