Topi^field (B. P. Pikk). — (Quantity of hay a little below the 

 average ; quality good. Outlook for rowen fair, but the crop will 

 be late. The apple crop will be below the average. Yield of 

 early potatoes good ; price from 75 cents to Si per bushel. Oats

Fixinldin (C. M. Allkn). — Hay crop eighty per cent in quan- 

 tity ; quality excellent. Wet meadows are now being cut and a 

 very good crop is being secured. The meadows are in condition to 

 secure the whole crop, unless heavy rains come very soon. The

 an average crop of apples. Strawberries were light ; raspberries

 well, and but few have been harvested. Rye is good in cpiantity 

 and quality.
