age. Very little fall seeding has been clone as yet. Onions are a 

 full average crop. Potatoes are about half of a normal crop. The 

 prospect is good for root crops, celery and other late market-gar- 

 den crops. All kinds of fruits are light crops. 



Williamsburg (F. C. Richards). — Corn did not ear out well 

 and is not near an average crop. Rowen is far above the average 

 and fall feed holds good. Not much seeding has been done. 

 Potatoes are a failure as the yield is light and they rot badly. 

 Apples are light in yield and of poor quality and are dropping 

 badly ; pears are good in yield and quality. 



Huntington (H. W. Stickney). — Indian corn is not as good a 

 crop as usual. Rowen and fall feed are better than we have had 

 for years. About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done. 

 The yield of potatoes is not as good as usual and more than half 

 of them rot. 



HAMPDEN COUNTY. 



Chester (P. M. Adzima). — Corn is not an average crop and 

 did not ear out well. Rowen and fall feed are the best for years. 

 About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and its con- 

 dition is good. Potatoes are not an average in yield and are of 

 poor quality. The prospect is good for celery, turnips and all late 

 root crops. All kinds of fruits are good crops. 



Blandford (E. W. Boise) . — Indian corn is ninety per cent of 

 a normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are considerably above the 

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

 and is in extra good condition. Potatoes are not an average crop 

 and many fields are hardly worth digging. Root crops promise to 

 be a good average. There are apples enough for home use and 

 perhaps a small surplus ; pears and peaches a full crop ; cranber- 

 ries fair. 



Russell (E. D. Parks). — Corn is short of the usual crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. But little fall 

 seeding has been done this year. Potatoes are a very small yield 

 and are rotting quite badly. The prospect for root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops is not very good. Apples and 

 pears are very good indeed ; other fruits fair. 



West Springfield (T. A. Rogers). — Indian corn is about half 

 of an average crop. Rowen is above the average and fall feed is 

 good. About the usual amount of fall seeding was done, but it 

 was late and little of it is up as yet. Onions are not over sixty 

 per cent of an average crop. Potatoes are about half a crop of 

 good quality. Root crops a full average ; celery looking well ; 

 winter squashes half a crop and cabbages fair. Apples one-fourth
