a very fair crop. The potato crop is next to a total failure. The 

 prospect for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 is very good. Apples are very few and poor ; pears, peaches and 

 plums plenty ; grapes very poor. 



Bolton (H. E. Babcock). — Corn is less than an average crop. 

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

 amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in good condition. 

 Not many onions raised and those are below an average yield. 

 Potatoes are about half a crop and there is some complaint of 

 rotting. There is not much market-gardening in this section. 

 Very few apples, pears plenty, peaches and plums rotted badly, 

 grapes and cranberries about average crops. 



Clinton (P. B. Southwick). — Corn is considerably below an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the average. But 

 little seeding has been done this fall. Onions are about three- 

 fourths of a crop. Potatoes are forty per cent of an average crop 

 of fair quality. Squashes a light crop ; melons and cucumbers 

 also light; tomatoes average. Very few apples, pears less than 

 average, peaches and plums above average and grapes below. 



Holden (G. S. Graham). — Corn is not more than three-fourths 

 of a full crop. Rowen and fall feed are the best for years. About 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is in good 

 condition. Potatoes are about half a crop and late ones are rot- 

 ting badly. Root crops, celery and oilier late market-garden 

 crops are good on the whole. Pears, peaches and plums are very 

 abundant; grapes late; few winter apples. 



Shi>wsbury (T. F. Marston). — Indian corn is not more than 

 two-thirds of an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the 

 average. Some seeding is being done at present. Onions are less 

 than an average crop. Potatoes are a very light crop. The pros- 

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

 very fair. Pears and peaches good, plums rotted badly, grapes 

 not up to the average ; winter apples light. 



Upton (B. A. Jourdan). — Corn has a small acreage but is a 

 fairly good crop. Rowen and fall feed never were better. A fair 

 amount of fall seeding has been done and is coming on nicely. 

 Onions are not as good as usual. The potato crop is a failure. 

 No apples ; plenty of pears, peaches and plums ; grapes and cran- 

 berries fair. 



Northhridge (H. A. Cook). — Corn is fully an average crop but 

 is very late. Rowen and fall feed are far above the average. 

 About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is 

 in good condition. Potatoes are not more than one-third of a crop 

 and are very inferior in quality. Root crops and garden truck
