rowen. Potatoes are looking fairly well, with very little blight at 

 present. Apples and pears promise well ; no peaches or cran- 

 berries. Pastures have been rather short, but recent rains have 

 improved them considerably. Oats are a better crop than last 

 year; barley little raised. 



Dalton (Wesley B. Barton). — Corn is a fair crop, though 

 some of that planted late failed to come up well. There will be a 

 good crop of rowen. Potatoes promise well ; some blight but no 

 rot reported. Apples are 70 per cent of a full crop and pears 40 

 per cent. Pasturage is in very good condition. Oats and barley 

 are full average crops. Taken as a whole the season has been a 

 favorable one. 



Windsor (H. A. Ford). — There will be a good crop of corn if 

 frost holds off for three weeks longer. The prospect is good for 

 the rowen crop, better than in former years. Blight has appeared 

 on potatoes and some rot. There will be a great crop of apples. 

 Pasturage is in extra good condition. Oats and barley are fully 

 equal to the crops of former years. 



Savoy (W. W. Burnett). — Indian corn is very backward and 

 in poor condition, with a small acreage. The prospect now is for 

 much less than an average crop of rowen. The prospect for pota- 

 toes is now very good, with no blight as yet. Apples are about a 

 normal crop ; other fruits not much grown. The continued drought 

 has dried up pasturage. Oats and barley are full average crops as 

 compared with former years. 



Williamstoimi (S. A. Hickox). — Corn is a good crop, but is ten 

 days late at present. Potatoes look well ; blight begins to appear, 

 but no rot as yet. Rowen is about 70 per cent of a normal crop. 

 Apples are a full crop in some orchards, below in others ; pears 

 half a crop. Pastures are in good condition, late rains having 

 much improved them. Oats are a full crop. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



Haioley (C. C. Fuller.) — Indian corn is a good crop. The 

 prospect is good for the rowen crop. Late potatoes promise well 

 with no blight or rot. Apples are a good crop in quantity and 

 quality ; pears and grapes fair ; no peaches and cranberries grown. 

 Pasturage is in good condition. Oats and barley are only raised 

 for fodder, but are heavier than usual. 



Ashfield (Charles Howes). — Indian corn has made a good 

 growth, but is ten days late. Rowen will give more than an aver- 

 age crop. Potatoes promise well and the tops are looking all 

 right, with no blight or rot. Apples are about an average crop ;
