more than thirty-five per cent of an average crop and the quality is 

 poor. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops do 

 not promise more than three-fourths of the usual yield. Apples 

 one-fourth of a crop ; pears, peaches and plums full crops. No 

 damaging frost as yet. Silos are mostly filled. 



Hancock (C. H. Wells). — Corn is not much better than half a 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Very 

 little seeding is done in the fall. Onions about seventy-five per 

 cent of a full crop. Potatoes are not more than forty per cent of 

 an average crop and the quality is inferior. Apples light ; pears 

 and plums plenty. 



Windsor (H. A. Ford). — Corn is rather late but promises to 

 do well. Rowen and fall feed are better than they have been for 

 ten years. No seeding done as yet. Potatoes are not more than 

 one-tenth of a crop, and are small sized and of poor quality. The 

 apple crop is about half that of last year. 



Savoy (W. W. Burnett). — Corn has improved well during the 

 month but is not yet an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are 

 fifty per cent above the usual average. Less than the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is in fine condition. 

 Onions are not an average crop. Potatoes are far short of an 

 average crop and are of inferior quality. The prospect for root 

 crops and late market-garden crops is very promising. Fruit 

 crops are nearly all short and of poor quality. 



Florida (E. D. Rice). — Corn is backward but is a fair crop. 

 There is an abundance of rowen and fall feed. About the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done with good results. Potatoes 

 are not more than half a crop and are rotting badly. All fruit 

 crops are fair. Our barns are all full of hay and rowen. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



Monroe (D. H. Sherman). — Indian corn is ten per cent off 

 from an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual 

 average. Potatoes are from twenty-five to forty per cent of an 

 average yield and are of fair quality. Turnips promise fairly, but 

 beets and carrots are almost a total failure. Apples are one- 

 fourth of a crop ; some pears, no plums ; grapes have not ripened. 



Heath (O. D. Canedy). — Indian corn is about two-thirds of 

 an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual aver- 

 age. No fall seeding has been done. Potatoes are a very light 

 crop and are rotting badly. Apples are a light crop, pears very 

 plenty, no peaches, few plums, grapes not very plenty. 



BucMand (C. E. Ward). — Indian corn is less than an average 

 crop, probably not more than three-fourths of a crop. Rowen
