Franklin. — Small crop of winter apples and the}' are wormy. 

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

 locality. Potatoes are badly rotten. Amount of corn grown for 

 ensilage purposes is increasing in this vicinity. The sweet va- 

 rieties are preferred. 



C. M. Allen. 



Medway. — Very poor prospect for a crop of winter apples. 

 Potatoes nearly all rotten. Most of the ensilage is made from 

 sweet corn after the ears are harvested for canning. The use of 

 ensilage is increasing. Wet weather has injured all crops except 

 grass for feed. Corn has fallen back. Grapes mildewed badly. 

 Blackberries and raspberries ripened so late that it was difficult to 

 handle them. The asparagus beetle has been exceedingly trouble- 

 some and has done much damage.

Hanson. — Poor prospect for a crop of winter apples. Acreage 

 of meadow land reseeded in the fall is not increasing in this 

 locality. Potatoes are plenty, but they are rotten. No ensilage 

 is grown. 



F. S. Thomas, M. D. 



Kingston. — Winter apples are scarce, small and rather poor. 

 The Baldwin apples will be the best this year, but they are small. 

 Potatoes are hardly worth digging. Amount of corn grown for 

 ensilage purposes is not increasing in this vicinity. The Southern 

 white flat corn is preferred. 



J. H. CUSHMAN. 



Marshjield. — Winter apples are not an average crop and the 

 quality is not as good as usual. The acreage of meadow land in 

 our locality is increasing. The prospect for late potatoes is poor. 

 With few exceptions, those planted very early, rot and scab have 

 reduced the crop very much. Corn is grown mainly for feeding 

 dry. 



G. J. Peterson. 



Wareham. — No winter apples. Acreage of meadow land re- 

 seeded in the fall is increasing in this locality. Very small crop 

 of late potatoes, with some rot and scab. No ensilage corn grown.
