and fall feed are far above the usual average. Less than the 

 usual amount of fdll seeding has been done, but that which is in is 

 in good condition. Potatoes are not up to the average in either 

 yield or quality. Apples are a light crop, but pears are abundant. 



Shelhurne (G. E. Taylor). — Indian corn is not more than a 

 two-thirds crop. Roweu and fall feed are far ahead of the usual 

 average. But little fall seeding has as yet been done as the 

 ground is very dry for plowing. Potatoes are a small yield with 

 quality fair.. Apples very short, pears plenty, grapes not ripen- 

 ing well. 



Ashfield (Chas. Hoaves). — Corn is not up to the average. 

 Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Not much fall 

 seeding has been done, but that which is in is in good condition. 

 Onions are not up to the average. Potatoes are a poor crop in 

 yield and quality. There are not as many apples as usual, but 

 other fruits are about as in former years. 



Deerfield (Chas. Jones). — Corn is late, and though it has im- 

 proved in the last three weeks will be below the average. Roweu 

 was moi*e than an average crop and was secured in good condition ; 

 fall feed is good and is improving. Onions are a small crop. 

 Potatoes are a small crop with some rot. Root crops are looking 

 well. All fruits have given light crops with the exception of 

 pears. 



Montague (C. S. Raymond). — Indian corn is a much smaller 

 crop than was looked for a month ago and is not over sixty per 

 cent of an average. Rowen and fall feed are much above the 

 usual average. The average amount of fall seeding has been done 

 and is in very good condition. Onions are rather less than an 

 average crop. Potatoes are about half a crop of good quality 

 where the}' do not rot. The prospect for root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops is rather below the average. Ai)ples 

 light, pears plenty, plums fair, grapes below average. 



Wendell (N. D. Plumb). — Indian corn is about half a crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. No fall seed- 

 ing is done here. Potatoes are the poorest ever known, not three 

 hundred bushels in the town. All kinds of fruit are about one- 

 fourth of an average crop. 



Xeto Salem (Daniel Ballard) . — Indian corn is not over half 

 of an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual 

 average. What little fall seeding has been done is looking well. 

 But few onions are raised in this vicinity. Potatoes are at least 

 sixty per cent below the average in yield, and of rather poor 

 quality. Apples light, pears and plums heavy, peaches fair, 

 grapes and cranberries light.
