NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (C. W. Gardner). — Potato bugs were never so 

 plenty as they are this year. Indian corn is not very promising. 

 Hay was a heavy crop of good quality. Oats are the principal 

 forage crop, but there are but few raised. Market-garden crops 

 are in good condition, with prices about as usual. Cranberries are 

 looking finely. Pasturage is in very fine condition. Rye, oats 

 and barley are much better than usual. Much hay was damaged 

 by the wet weather at cutting time. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tishury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Potato bugs are doing some 

 damage. Indian corn is in fair condition ; we have no silos. The 

 hay crop is better than an average crop and of good quality. Pota- 

 toes are about an average crop with the price better than usual. 

 The prospect for apples is fair and for grapes good. Pastures are 

 in better than average condition. Oats are not quite up to a nor- 

 mal crop.
