price. Potatoes promised a large crop until about two weeks ago, 

 when rust struck them and they all died in a week. It has rained 

 almost every day since and some say they are rotting. The 

 farmers in this town have grown and housed the largest crop of 

 hay ever grown in town before.

Marslifield. — Sunny days and warm nights through August will 

 make certain a good corn crop in Plymouth County. The hay 

 crop is below the average in quality. Have not observed any 

 scab or rot in potatoes. Small fruits have been hardly an 

 average in yield and price. Rather poor outlook for a crop of 

 early market apples. They are selling for two dollars a bushel. 



G. J. Peterson. 



Middleborough. — Outlook good for a corn crop. Small fruits 

 have been satisfactory in yield and price. A little rot and scab in 

 potatoes. The hay crop has not met expectations in quantity and 

 quality. Good prospect for a crop of early market apples. 



A. H. Eaton. 



West Bridgewater. — Outlook good for acorn crop. Prices of 

 small fruits good, but yield only about three-fourths of a full crop. 

 Potatoes are rotting badly. Hay crop has more than met expec- 

 tations in quantity and quality. English hay is all cut and housed, 

 in good condition generally. Vegetables are cheap and plenty. 

 Not a very good prospect for a crop of early market apples.

 Havre. — Fair prospect for a corn crop. Potatoes are looking 

 finely and will yield well if the rust does not damage them. Some 

 rot and scab. Hay crop more than met expectations in quantity 

 but not in quality. Oats are rusting badly. Apples not plenty 

 and quite poor. 



J. L. Smith. 



Berlin. — Outlook good for a corn crop. With the exception of 

 strawberries, small fruits have been satisfactory in yield and 

 price. Have not observed any rot or scab in potatoes, but blight 

 has begun to appear. Corn and potatoes are looking finely, but 

 we are having an abundance of wet weather and it is difficult to 

 say what the results may be. Considerable grass is still standing,
