BERKSHIRE COUNTY. 



Egremont (J. H. Rowley). — Indian corn has improved greatly 

 witiiin the past ten days and will be three-fourths of a full crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done and it is looking well. 

 Onions will be about half a crop. Potatoes are about half a crop 

 with the quality rather under the average. The prospect for root 

 crops, celery, etc., is good. Apples light, other fruits small 

 except grapes, which are a full average. 



Monterey (W. S. Bidwell). — Indian corn is less than an aver-

Richmond (T. B. Salmon). — Indian corn is about three-fourths 

 of a crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Less 

 seeding than usual has been done but it is in good condition.

 for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops is good. 

 Apples have turned out very well ; pears a very large crop ; no 

 peaches, plums, grapes or cranberries.
