is at present in good condition. Onions did not do well. Potatoes 

 are a good crop in most places, but with some rot. The prospect 

 is very good for root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops. Apples, pears, peaches and grapes are all small crops in 

 this vicinity. Cranberries did finely, but the frost of the 22d 

 destroyed several hundred barrels. 



3fash}->ee (W. F. Hammond). — There will be about an average 

 crop of Indian corn. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual 

 average. The onion crop is below the average. Potatoes are 

 above the average in quantity, but below in quality. Root crops 

 are above the average. Apples and pears are not more than half 

 crops; cranberries a three-fourths crop. The frost of the 22d 

 and 23d destroyed about one-third of the cranberries then un- 

 picked, also grapes, beans and late corn. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell). — Corn is about a normal crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. There is but 

 little fall seeding done here. The onion crop is much below the 

 normal ; not more than half a crop. There is an avei'age yield of 

 potatoes, but with more or less rot. The prospect for root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops is good. Heavy winds 

 have shaken off nearly all winter apples. Early cranberries were 

 less than an average crop and late ones suffered severely from the 

 unprecedented frosts of the 22d and 23d, some bogs not being 

 worth picking. 



Harvnch (Ambrose N. Doane) . — Corn is a fair crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are up to the usual average. There is not much fall 

 seeding done here. Onions are not a good crop, owing to damage 

 by maggots. Potatoes are a good crop in quality and quantity. 

 All fruit is a fair crop except cranberries, but the frost the night 

 of the 22d damaged late fruit 50 per cent. 



Truro (D. E. Paine). — Indian corn is not raised here. Rowen 

 and fall feed are up to the usual average. Very little fall seeding 

 has been done. Potatoes have made a fair yield and are of good 

 quality. The prospect is fair for root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops. There will be a light crop of all kinds of 

 fruit. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tishury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Indian corn is an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the average in condition. 

 Potatoes are rotting badly. The prospect is good for root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops. Fruit has been ruined 

 by a fierce gale and cranberries have suffered from the severe frost.
