to some extent, and other fruits are above the average. Potatoes 

 are rotting in some cases. 



Cotrain (A. A. Smith) . — Indian corn is full}' up to a normal 

 crop. Eowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done and has resulted in a 

 good catch. Onions are better than a normal crop. Potatoes are 

 a No. 1 crop in both yield and quality. Root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops promise finely. All kinds of fruit 

 have turned out well. No frost until the 21st, but a severe one on 

 that date. 



Bernardston (R. H. Cushmax) . — The corn crop is a good one, 

 but the freeze damaged some fields. A large crop of rowen has 

 been harvested. Early fall seeded land is looking well, with about 

 the usual acreage put in. Potatoes show a large crop of fine 

 quality, but with much rot in some fields. Root crops have made 

 large growth and cabbages are a fine crop. Apples and pears are 

 very large crops of good quality, but bring very low prices. 



Gill (F. F. Stocghton). — Corn is a better crop than usual, 

 but is late and does not ripen very rapidly. Rowen and fall feed 

 are up to the usual average. Onions are little raised. Potatoes 

 are better than an average crop. Root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops are not much raised. Apples and grapes are 

 an extra yield. Tomatoes are a good crop. 



Shelburne (Geo. E. Taylor). — Indian corn is more than a 

 normal crop. Rowen is more than an average crop and fall feed 

 is good. About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, 

 a good catch has been secured and it is looking finely. Potatoes 

 are above the average in yield and of fine quality. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops are not raised. Apples 

 are less than an average crop and there are few pears and peaches. 

 Avery severe frost visited us the 22d and 23d, cutting corn fodder 

 and tender vegetation. The damage to fodder is considerable, but 

 the grain is beyond injury. 



Deerfield (H. A. Wells) . — Indian corn is a normal crop. The 

 rowen crop and fall feed are up to the usual average. There has 

 been about the usual amount of fall seeding done ; it is practically 

 all sown in corn and looks well. Onions are about an average 

 crop. Potatoes made a big yield, but there are many complaints 

 of rot. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are 

 not grown. Apples are a big crop ; pears plenty ; no peaches ; 

 late grapes injured by frost. The tobacco crop is curing down, 

 a thin, light leaf, no pole sweat and a few crops sold on poles. 

 There is very little damage to field corn except to the fodder.
