BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Dartmouth. — We have very few peaches here. The peculiari- 

 ties of the season have affected dairy products in both quantity 

 and price. Farmers here are generally interested in agricultural 

 fairs. Continued wet weather has very much retarded the gather- 

 ing of rowen, and has made the quality in many instances very 

 poor. Corn is drying slowly. Pastures are very good so far as 

 quantity of feed ; but it, being poor in quality, makes but little 

 milk. 



L. T. Davis. 



Raynham. — Outlook not good for success in the future cultiva- 

 tion of the peach in this locality. The quantity of milk has been 

 larger this season, with not much of any increase in quality. 

 Most of the farmers in this vicinity are interested in agricultural 

 fairs. Rowen that has been cut is nearly worthless on account of 

 the very stormy time to cure it. But very little opportunity to 

 make hay or to make progress in destroying weeds. 



N. W. Shaw. 



Somerset. — Peaches are not grown to any extent in this locality, 

 and the outlook for success in the future cultivation of this fruit is 

 not promising. Lack of sunshine has very materially affected the 

 quality of milk and butter, while the flow of milk has been increased 

 by the abundance of feed. The quality of feed is so poor it can- 

 not produce good milk or butter. Prices very low for butter ; 

 milk brings usual prices. "Weather has been unfavorable for 

 ripening of corn. 



Joseph Gibbs. 



Swanzey. — No peaches grown in this vicinity. In our section 

 all make milk, which has been plenty and price steady. Farmers 

 in this vicinity are not generally interested in agricultural fairs.

DUKES COUNTY. 



Chilmark. — Poor outlook for success in the future cultivation 

 of the peach in this locality. The peculiarities of the season have 

 not materially affected dairy products. Farmers in this vicinity 

 are generally interested in agricultural fairs.
