doing well. No apples, pears plenty, peaches light, grapes not 

 equal to last year and cranberries about three-fourths of a crop. 

 The weather has been fine for cranberry picking and about half 

 the crop is gathered. 



Halifax (G. W. Hayward). — Corn is a fair crop on high land, 

 but not half a crop on low land. Fall feed is better than the 

 average and more rowen has been cut than ever before. There is 

 rather more fall seeding than usual and it has come up well and is 

 in excellent condition. Onions are rather below an average crop. 

 "With the exception of a few pieces, potatoes are not half a crop, 

 but the quality is fair. Celery and turnips promise well. No 

 apples, very few plums, no peaches and cranberries light. 



Kingston (J. H. Cushman) . — Corn on high land is a very full 

 crop, on low land very poor. Rowen and fall feed are fully up to 

 the average. There has been but little seeding done as yet. 

 Potatoes are not more than two-thirds of a crop and the quality is 

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

 promise large yields. Apples scarce, pears plenty, peaches few 

 and grapes plenty. 



Carver (J. A. Vaughan). — Rowen and fall feed are up to the 

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

 and it is in good condition. Potatoes are a small crop, but the 

 quality is good except for some rot. The prospect is good for 

 root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. Very few 

 apples aud those of poor quality ; pears plenty, but green in color 

 and of poor quality ; cranberries about one-third of a crop. 



BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Bourne (D, D. Nye). — Indian corn is a fairly good crop. 

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

 of any account has been done. Potatoes are an average crop in 

 yield and quality. Prospect very good for root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops. Apples, peaches aud plums are 

 very scarce. Cranberries up to last year or nearly so. Grass 

 land is nearly covered with wild carrot, which kills out all the good 

 grass. 



Mashpee (W. F. Hammond). — Indian corn is above an average 

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

 amount of fall seeding done is less than usual but it is looking 

 well. Onions are more than an average crop. Potatoes are less 

 than an average crop but the quality is good. All late garden 

 crops are looking well, and will be above average. Apples one- 

 fourth of a crop, pears half a crop, no peaches and plums, grapes 

 two-thirds of a crop, cranberries half a crop.
