about half a crop of apples. Pasturage is in very good condition. 

 Oats and barley are about average crops, compared with former 

 years. 



Dicjhton (James N. Paul). — Indian corn is in good condition. 

 Rowen will be a good crop. Not many potatoes are grown here, 

 but they have blighted and show some rot. No apples ; pears 

 poor; no peaches ; grapes good ; cranberries not grown. Pastur- 

 age is in good condition. Oats and barley are not grown here. 

 Strawberry plants have made a good growth for another year and 

 the acreage is somewhat increased. Tomatoes promise to be a 

 large crop, but need plenty of sunshine. 



Swansea (F. G. Arnold). — Indian corn is in very good con- 

 dition. There is prospect of a good crop of rowen, one above the 

 average. Late potatoes promised a heavy crop, but blight and 

 rot set in on the 13th to 15th. No apples, pears or peaches; 

 grapes plenty ; cranberries not grown. Pastures are in very good 

 condition. Oats and barley are grown principally for feed and 

 cut green. 



Dartmouth {L. T. Davis). — Corn is gaining very rapidly in 

 condition. Some fields of rowen promise very well, but those late 

 cut do not promise as well. Apples are a two-thirds crop ; pears 

 less than half a crop ; grapes fair. Pasturage continues in very 

 fair condition. Oats and barley are perhaps slightly above average 

 crops. Potatoes have made a fine growth, but some fields show 

 signs of blight and there is complaint of rot. 



Westport (Albert S. Sherman). — Indian corn is a good crop 

 and on most fields very heavy. Rowen promises to be a very good 

 crop. Potatoes promise a large yield, but there is some rot. Ap- 

 ples and pears are fair crops ; no peaches ; grapes abundant ; not 

 many cranberries grown. Pasturage never was better, plenty of 

 rain makes good feed. Oats are not an average crop and many 

 fields have rusted. Cabbages and turnips are doing well. Grain 

 has been injured by rain and harvesting has been delayed. Apples 

 and pears have fallen badly. 



PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Norwell (H. A.Turner). — Indian corn is in good condition 

 but is a little late. Rowen is about a normal crop. The prospect 

 for late potatoes is good and I have noticed very little blight. The 

 prospect is good for apples, grapes and cranberries. Pastures are 

 in very good condition, but the high lands need rain. Oats and 

 barley are about normal crops. 



West Bridgewater (Clinton T. Howard). — Corn is looking
