very well though many fields had to be planted over twice. On 

 fields where the first crop of hay was cut early there is a heavy 

 crop of rowen. There is a large area of potatoes planted and those 

 which are being dug now yield heavily ; no blight as yet There 

 will be a very small crop of fruit, but cranberries are plenty. 

 Pastures are in good condition. Barley, Hungarian grass and 

 corn are raised to feed green and are growing finely. 



Pembroke (Nathaniel Morton). — Indian corn is in good con- 

 dition. There will be more than a normal crop of rowen. The 

 prospect for potatoes is good, with no blight or rot as yet. Fruit 

 of all kinds is poor in quality and light in yield ; cranberries are 

 about half a crop, having been much injured by hail. Pasturage 

 is in good condition. Oats and barley are but little raised. 



Duxbury (R. T. Randall). — Corn is in good condition. 

 Rowen is a better crop than in former years. There is some 

 blight on potatoes. Apples and other fruits are not very plenty 

 here ; grapes and cranberries plenty. Pasturage is in very good 

 condition. Oats and barley are more than average crops. Leaves 

 on trees are turning yellow and falling oflf. 



Halifax (G. W. Hayward). — Where corn came up well it 

 looks a heavy crop, but there are many missing hills. The pros- 

 pect for rowen is very good. Late potatoes look finely; some 

 blight but not bad as yet and no rot as yet. There are not many 

 apples nor pears and no peaches ; some grapes and cranberries. 

 Pastures are in good condition. Oats and barley are only raised 

 for fodder and have yielded good crops. 



Lakeville (Nathaniel G. Staples). — Indian corn is in good 

 condition. The prospect is that the rowen crop will be a little 

 better than a normal crop. The prospect for late potatoes is very 

 good ; some blight but no rot as yet. There will be a fair crop of 

 apples and pears; no peaches; grapes and cranberries good. 

 Pastures are in very good condition. Oats and barley are very 

 good crops. 



Carver (J. A. Vaughan). — Indian corn is in good condition. 

 Rowen promises to give a good crop. Late potatoes are growing 

 fast and there has been no blight or rot. There are no peaches. 

 Pastures are in good condition. Cranberries are our main crop. 

 Many bogs winterkilled badly ; the frost in June destroyed many 

 blossoms, and fruit worms are now working to some extent, but 

 on the whole we expect an average crop. 



Rochester (Geo. H. Randall). — Corn has grown well and will 

 mature a good crop if frost holds off. Rowen will be a very good 

 crop, as the frequent rains have kept grass growing. Late pota- 

 toes will not give a very good crop as blight and rot have appeared.
