dition. Onions are not as good a crop as usual. Potatoes are 

 less than a normal crop. The prospect is good for root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops. Apples and pears are 

 fair crops ; no peaches ; few grapes ; cranberries destroyed by the 

 frost. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Randolph (Rufus A. Thayer). — Indian corn is a good aver- 

 age crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Not 

 much fall seeding has been done as yet. Onions are about an 

 average crop. Potatoes are a large crop of good quality, but with 

 considerable rot. Apples half a crop ; pears good ; no peaches ; 

 grapes and cranberries badly damaged by the recent frosts. 

 Celery, turnips and cabbages promise good crops. 



Canton (E. V. Kinsley). — Corn is a full average crop. 

 Rowen started well, but dry weather cut it off, and three weeks 

 of continuous dry weather have completely destroyed fall feed. 

 Fall seeding is a little late, but conditions are now favorable. 

 Onions are a fine, crop and well ripened. Potatoes are a good 

 crop of fine quality, but there is some complaint of rot. The 

 prospect for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 is good, except for those crops affected by frost. Apples in this 

 section are a disappointment ; pears and peaches a failure ; grapes 

 and cranberries good. Heavy frosts on the mornings of the 2 2d 

 and 23d completely destroyed all growing corn, tomatoes, grapes 

 and every other thing at all tender. 



Westivood (Henry E. Weatherbee). — Corn is late and will 

 not be up to the average. Rowen and fall feed are not as heavy 

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

 but it was late in starting, owing to dry weather. Potatoes are a 

 light crop and rotting somewhat. Root crops will be up to the 

 average. Apples will be small ; pears and peaches a light crop ; 

 grapes and cranberries good. 



Walpole (Edward L. Shepard) . — Indian corn is 25 per cent 

 below a normal yield. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the 

 usual average. Less than the usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and it is not in good condition, owing to dry weather. 

 Onions are a good crop. Potatoes are about a two-thirds crop in 

 yield, rather small and with some rot. Root crops are backward 

 on account of dry weather. Pears and apples are half crops ; no 

 peaches ; grapes and cranberries fair crops. 



Franklin (C M. Allen). — Corn shows a good crop of stover 

 but a light yield of ears. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual 

 average. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it
