Bernards/on. — The crop of winter apples will fall a little short 

 of an average, but the quality will be better than last year. Late 

 potatoes will be a failure, owing to blight and rot. The amount of 

 corn grown for ensilage purposes is increasing in this vicinity.

Monroe. — About half a crop of winter apples; quality fair. 

 Blast killed potatoes early in the month and late planted ones, in 

 many fields, will not be worth digging. No ensilage put up in this 

 section, though considerable corn is grown for fall feeding. But 

 little io\\ en is cut on the mountain farms. Corn has gained some 

 during the past ten days of warm, dry weather, and, if early frosts 

 do not interfere, may be a fair crop. Mean temperature for the 

 month, 61.29. Rainfall, 4.18 inches.

Montague. — Apple crop very light. Acreage of meadow land 

 reseeded in the fall not increasing in this locality. About half a 

 crop of late potatoes. Amount of corn grown for ensilage pur- 

 poses is increasing every year. It is generally thought that our 

 Northern corn makes the best ensilage. The dry weather of the 

 past two weeks has caused onions to cure off quickly and pre- 

 vented rot, which seemed the probable result two weeks ago. Corn 

 is ripening rapidly and the prospect is good for an excellent crop.

North field. — Very few winter apples and they are defective. 

 Acreage of meadow land reseeded in the fall is increasing in this 

 locality. Potatoes are rotting badly, especially those planted late 

 on moist land. The amount of corn grown for ensilage is about 

 the same as for the past three years. Sweet corn is most used. 

 Crop of rowen better than for several years, both in quantity and 



quality. 



Charles Pomeroy. 



Sunderland. — Half a crop of apples and they are poor. Acre- 

 age of meadow land reseeded in the fall is increasing in this local- 

 ity. There will be no good late potatoes. Amount of corn grown 

 for ensilage purposes is increasing in this vicinity. Great crop 

 of rowen and it is being put into the barns in good shape. Onions, 

 half a crop and a little under size.
