DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tisbury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Indian corn is much below 

 the average in condition. There is no prospect of getting any crop 

 of rowen. Potatoes are much below the average ; no blight or 

 rot. Prospect for apples, pears, peaches and grapes poor. Past- 

 ures are very dry and poor. Oats were about a two-thirds crop. 

 Nearly all the farmers have some poultry, and the income from it 

 is about equal to that from the dairy.
