larger than usual and of good quality. Oats are the principal 

 forage crop. Market-garden crops in average condition ; potatoes 

 looking finely, and prices up to last year. Cranberries have blos- 

 somed well. Pastures are looking better than last year. Oats as 

 forage have exceeded expectations. 



Falmouth (D. R. Wicks) . — Potato bugs are doing some damage. 

 Sweet corn is looking finely, but is ten days late. Hay is a full 

 crop in quantity, but the weather has been bad to house it. Market- 

 garden crops are and have been very good ; potatoes are blighting 

 some. Cranberries promise full crops ; other fruits, except pears, 

 are very poor. Pasturage is in fine condition. Oats are cut green 

 for hay and are an average crop. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell) . — Cranberry vine worms are doing 

 some damage. Corn is backward, but otherwise in good condition ; 

 none goes into silos. Hay is above the average as to quantity and 

 quality. Fodder corn and Hungarian grass are the principal forage 

 crops and are in good condition. Market-garden crops are hardly 

 up to the average ; prices about as usual. No apples ; pears not 

 plenty ; cranberries considerably less than last year. Pasturage is 

 fairly good for the season. Rye, oats and barley are about aver- 

 age crops. 



Harioich (A. N. Doane). — Potato bugs and cranberry worms 

 are doing some damage. Indian corn is in good condition ; not 

 many silos in town. Hay is very much in excess of the usual crop. 

 Potatoes are a good crop ; prices lower than usual. No apples, 

 cranberries fair crop. Pasturage is all used up. Rye, oats and 

 barley are good crops. 



Eastham (J. A. Clark). — Plant lice are doing some damage. 

 Not much corn is planted and what there is is backward ; no silos 

 in town. Hay is a very good crop in quantity and quality. Oats 

 are the principal forage crop. Potatoes are a good crop, and 

 prices better than usual. There are some early apples, but very 

 few late ones. Pasturage is in fair condition. Acreage of all 

 grains small. 



Wellfleet (Everett Jacobs) . — The corn worm and the squash 

 bug are doing some damage. Corn is in very good condition ; no 

 silos in this section. The hay crop is good in quality and very 

 large in quantity. No special forage crops are raised, our farmers 

 depending on hay and grain. Market-garden crops are better than 

 last year both in yield and price. Apples will be very scarce ; but 

 peaches, pears and grapes are quite plenty. Pasturage is in very 

 good condition. There is no rye or barley raised and very few 

 oats.
