principal forage crops. Market-garden crops are in good condi- 

 tion, with varying yields and fair prices; some signs of blight on 

 potatoes. Apples are a light crop ; other fruits almost a failure. 

 Pastures are getting very dry. Rye, oats and barley are good 

 average crops. The milk supply is getting a little short. 



Nonoood (F. A. Fales). — Potato bugs and rose bugs are doing 

 some damage. Indian corn is rather late ; about 25 per cent of the 

 crop goes into the silo. Hay is more than an average crop in 

 quantity and of good quality. Oats and Japanese millet are the 

 principal forage crops raised. Market-garden crops are looking 

 well ; but few potatoes have been dug. There will be a light crop 

 of all kinds of fruit. Pasturage is in poor condition and much in 

 need of rain. Rye, oats and barley are about average crops. 



Westioood (Henry E. Weatherbee) . — Potato bugs and squash 

 bugs are doing some damage, and cut worms did considerable the 

 first of the season. Corn is backward, but is looking finely. Hay 

 is above the average in quantity and quality. Hungarian grass, 

 Japanese millet and fodder corn are the principal forage crops 

 raised and all are looking well. Market-garden crops have yielded 

 well and brought good prices ; potatoes are looking well. Apples 

 will not be up to the average for apple years ; pears and peaches 

 will be below the average ; plums and grapes good crops. Pastures 

 are now short owing to the hot, dry weather. Oats are rather 

 light this year. 



Walpole (Edward L. Shepard). — Fire worms on cranberry 

 bogs and potato bugs are doing some damage. Corn is late ; very 

 little is raised for the silo. Hay is more than an average crop in 

 quantity and better than usual in quality. Corn, barle}^ Hun- 

 garian grass and millet are the principal forage crops grown ; corn 

 is late, but the others are in fairly good condition. Potatoes are 

 looking finely ; market-garden crops are about as usual in yield 

 and price. Apples will be half a crop ; pears, peaches and plums 

 light crops ; others average. Pasturage has been good but is badly 

 in need of rain at present. Rye, oats and barley are about aver- 

 age crops. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). — There are few insects of any kind. 

 Corn looks well but is backward ; half the crop goes into the silo. 

 Hay is an average crop in quantity and quality. Millet and bar- 

 ley are the principal forage crops grown. Market-garden crops, 

 including potatoes, are in better than average condition. Apples 

 will give a good crop ; pears light ; no peaches ; plums good ; 

 quinces fair; grapes light. Pasturage is in good condition. Rye, 

 oats and barley are hardly average crops.
