tion. Rowen will give more than an average crop. Late potatoes 

 on low land are ruined by blight and rot. The outlook is good for 

 apples, pears and grapes. Pasturage is in better condition than 

 for many years. Oats are not planted to any extent and barley 

 not at all. The cranberry crop promises to be above the average 

 in this section. Some growers are complaining of scalded berries, 

 which will affect the yield somewhat. 



Eastham (J. A. Clark). — Rowen will give a good yield. The 

 prospect for late potatoes is good, though there is some blight. 

 There will be only a light crop of winter apples. Pasturage is in 

 good condition. Asparagus is commencing to rust with the pros- 

 pect that it will be badly affected, spraying seems to do no good 

 this season. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tisbtiry (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Indian corn is in good 

 condition. Rowen will be more than an average crop. Late po- 

 tatoes will give but a poor yield and show some rot. The prospect 

 for apples is poor and for cranberries good. Pasturage is in first 

 class condition. Oats and barley are average crops. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (H. G. "Worth). — Indian corn is a little late, but 

 the prospect for the crop was never better. The outlook is very 

 favorable for a big rowen crop. The prospect for late potatoes is 

 good with no blight or rot. Cranberries are looking well. Pas- 

 tures are in good condition. There is a full crop of oats.
