Dartmouth (L. T. Davis) . — Both field and sweet corn lias 

 made a very large growth. Rowen was above tlie average and fall 

 feed is very good. There has not been as much fall seeding as in 

 some years but it is in good condition. Potatoes are of good qual- 

 ity, but the yield is below and they are rotting badly. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops promise very w'ell. 

 Fruits are not as good as they promised to be earlier in the 

 season. 



Fairhaven (F. C. Lyon). — Indian corn is much below an aver- 

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

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in good con- 

 dition. Onions are a little below an average crop. Potatoes are 

 decidedly below the average and there has been much rot. Our 

 special root crop, turnips, is very good. Peaches and pears light ; 

 and apples and grapes very light. 



PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Hingliam (Aaron Low). — Indian corn is poor and backward. 

 Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. Not much fall 

 seeding has been done as yet. Onions show a low average. 

 Potatoes are not much more than half a crop and are small in 

 size. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 promise to be a fair average. There are not many apples ; pears 

 and peaches fair, grapes badly blighted. 



Brockton (Davis Copeland). — Indian corn is only five per 

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

 usual average. About the usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done and it is in good condition. Onions are good on some fields, 

 but as a rule are about a three-fourths crop. Potatoes are a small 

 crop of poor quality with a good deal of rot. There are very few 

 apples or peaches, but pears and grapes are plenty. 



Hanover (H. L. House). — Corn is about as usual as regards 

 quantity and quality. Rowen and fall feed are better than usual. 

 Fully an average amount of fall seeding has been done. Potatoes 

 made a rather small yield, the tubers are of small size. Beets 

 promise well. Very few apples ; pears and grapes plenty ; cran- 

 berries about as good as common, except where the summer hail- 

 storm ruined them. 



Marslifield (J. H. Bourne). — Indian corn is just .about an 

 average crop. The rowen crop is as much above the average as 

 the first crop of hay was. There has been rather less fall seeding 

 than usual ; condition good, though it is late. Some pieces of 

 onions are fully up to the average and some have many scullions. 

 Potatoes are not up to the average as a whole. Root crops are
