Roxoley (Daniel H. O'Buien). — Potato bugs and onion 

 maggots are doing some damage. Indian corn is in fair condition ; 

 none raised for the silo. Hay was better than an average crop in 

 quantity and quality. Hungarian grass and sweet corn are the 

 principal forage crops raised and are in good condition. Condition 

 and yield of market-garden crops medium and prices lower than 

 usual. Apples and pears are fair crops ; other fruits poor. Pas- 

 tures are in very good condition. Rye, oats and barley are average 

 crops. Apples dropped badly. 



Wenham (N. P. Perkins). — With the exception of the onion 

 maggot insects have done less damage than usual. There is but 

 little Indian corn in this vicinity, but there is a large acreage of 

 sweet corn, of which part will go into the silo. As a whole the 

 crop of hay will somewhat exceed last year. Corn is the principal 

 forage crop grown, but Hungarian grass, Japanese millet, oats 

 and barley are also raised for that purpose. No potatoes have 

 been dug as yet and the prospect is not very good. There will be 

 but few apples and pears, no peaches, but some plums and grapes. 

 Pastures are now getting short and milch cows must be fed at the 

 barn. Rye, oats and barley are not much grown but are fair crops. 



Danvers (C. H. Preston). — Corn is in good condition and a 

 large part of the crop will be used for ensilage. There was a large 

 hay crop of good quality. Oats and peas, barley, corn and Jap- 

 anese millet are the principal forage crops raised. Market-garden 

 crops are in good condition, and those already harvested have 

 yielded well, but have brought low prices. Apples fair, pears 

 good, plums and grapes good. Pasturage is in good condition. 

 Rye, oats and barley are good as forage crops. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Randolph (Rufus A. Thayer) . — Potato bugs are doing some 

 damage. Indian corn is in good average condition ; nine-tenths 

 of the crop will go into the silo. Hay was more than an average 

 crop and of good quality. Corn, millet, oats and barley are the 

 principal forage crops grown and all are in fair condition. Mar- 

 ket-garden crops have made good average yields with low prices. 

 Apples and pears will give half crops ; no peaches or plums ; 

 grapes half a crop. Pastures are about as usual at this season. 

 Rye, oats and barley are good average crops and all used for 

 forage. 



Canton (E. V. Kinsley). — Indian corn is backward and nine- 

 tenths of the crop will be fed to stock. Quantity of hay crop 

 above average and quality good. Indian corn, the millets, espe-- 

 cially Japanese millet, oats, barley and spring rye and peas are the
