have been injured as yet. General condition of dairy stock JiaS' 

 been up to the average although within a week milking cows haVe 

 shrunk in milk very much. Pastures need more moisture; at ^ 

 present many are only exercise grounds for the stock. Dairying 

 has been just as profitable this year as usual. The season taken 

 in all promises to be a fairly profitable one for the farmer. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Weymouth (H. W. Dyek). — The outlook for Indian corn is 

 much better than usual. Rowen will be an average crop. The 

 outlook for late potatoes is fair. Have not observed much potato 

 blight. The general condition of dairy stock is good and I think 

 that dairying has been as profitable this year as usual. 



Avon (S. Frank Oliver). — Yield of Indian corn will be a 

 little above the average. Rowen does not promise an average 

 crop. Late potatoes are in excellent condition. Early potatoes 

 show some signs of rot but late crops have not been affected. 

 Condition of dairy stock good and dairying as profitable as usual. 

 Fodder corn this year wall be of a better quality and larger quan- 

 tity per acre than for some years past. Although fall apples will 

 be plenty Baldwins and Russets are a little poorer than usual. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Indian corn promises to be a good 

 crop. Rowen will not be an average crop. Outlook for late pota- 

 toes is good. Have observed neither blight nor rot. Dairy stock 

 generally in good condition. Dairying has not been as profitable 

 this year as usual. 



Norfolk (J. W. Hinkley). — Indian corn will be above an aver- 

 age crop. Rowen will not be an average crop. The outlook for 

 late potatoes is good ; noticed rot about August 15. General con- 

 dition of dairy stock is very fair for milk producing. Dairying 

 has not been as profitable this year as usual , on account of the cost 

 of grain. The weather has been very favorable for reseeding 

 grass land. 



Fntvl'lin (C. M. Allen). — Indian corn is an average crop but 

 backward. An early frost might damage it badly. Rowen will 

 not be an average crop. Outlook for late potatoes is good. Very 

 little blight or rot in this section. Dairy stock is not up to the 

 average in condition. No profit in dairying this year. We pro- 

 duce all milk. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Mansfield (D. E. Harding). — The outlook for Indian corn is 

 very good. Rowen will be more than an average crop. Late pota- 

 toes promise an unusually large crop ; no blight or rot. The gen-
