Russell (E. D. Parks). — Corn is about au average crop, better 

 than last year. Rowen and fall feed are rather above the usual 

 average. Less than the usual amouut of fall seeding has been 

 done in our section. Onions are a fairly good crop but are little 

 raised. Potatoes are up to the normal in yield, but a good many 

 fields are rotting. The prospect is very good for root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops. There is a good crop of all 

 kinds of fruit. 



Agaioam (J. G. Burt). — Corn is a good crop. Rowen and 

 fall feed are up to the usual average. The usual amount of fall 

 seeding has been done and looks well. Onions are better than a 

 normal crop. Potatoes are about a normal crop in yield and 

 quality, but are rotting badly. The prospect is good for root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. All kinds of 

 fruit have turned out well. 



West Springfield (T. A. Rogers). — Indian corn made a full 

 growth, but is not all fully ripened. Rowen and fall feed are well 

 up to the usual average. The usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and is looking finely. Onions are perhaps three-fourths 

 of a normal crop. Potatoes made a good yield and are of fine 

 quaUty. Root crops and celery are looking well ; also nearly all 

 market-garden crops. Apples are a drug on the market ; no 

 peaches ; pears and grapes good ; no cranberries to speak of. 



Chicopee (R. W. Bemis). — I should say that the corn crop was 

 fully up to the normal. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual 

 average. Potatoes are a good crop in this vicinity. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops will give good yields if 

 they were not damaged by the frost on the evening of the 22d. 

 Apples, pears, peaches and grapes are all good crops. 



East Longmeadow (John L. Davis). — Indian corn is above an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual aver- 

 age. Fall seeding is in poor condition, owing to drought, but 

 should come along well uow. The yield of potatoes was uneven, 

 but the quality fine, with some rot. The dry weather made root 

 crops slow in starting. Apples and grapes plenty ; pears and 

 peaches scarce. 



Monson (F. D. Rogers). — Corn shows a full growth of stover, 

 but many fields have not eared out as fully as usual. Rowen and 

 fall feed are up to the usual average. Not as much fall seeding 

 as usual has been done, but it is looking well. Potatoes are not 

 all harvested as yet, but seem to be a good crop in both yield and 

 quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late market-
