of fall seeding has been done and it looks fairly well. Potatoes 

 are not over a two-thirds crop. The prospect is good for root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. There is a large 

 apple crop, though one-third of them were blown from the trees 

 and have been mostly used for cider. Pears and plums are good 

 crops. Silos are mostly filled, without frost. Store cattle low ; 

 no sale. 



Hancock (C. H. Wells). — Corn is nearly an average crop. 

 Eowen and fall feed are very short. There has been very little 

 fall seeding done. Potatoes are about half a crop, with many 

 small ones ; no rot to speak of. Apples are a large crop but from 

 one-third to one-half of them are on the ground and no use is 

 being made of them. Pears are a good crop, other small fruits 

 scarce. 



Cheshire (L. J. Northup). — Indian corn compares very favor- 

 ably with a normal crop. Not very much rowen has been cut 

 and fall feed is 50 per cent off in condition. Since the rains fall 

 seeding has commenced in earnest and the amount will be a full 

 average. Potatoes are about 90 per cent of a normal crop in 

 quantity, quality good. Root crops are not up to the average ; 

 celery looks fairly well ; dry weather hurt market-garden crops 

 somewhat. About one-eighth of the apple crop was shaken off and 

 cider will be made of them. There are still plenty left. Pears 

 were quite plenty ; plums very plenty : few grapes raised and no 

 cranberries. 



Florida (E. D. Rice). — Corn matured well and is an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed were very light, owing to dry weather. 

 Much of the fall seeding did not catch well. Potatoes are about 

 a three-fourths crop, of good quality. No celery is raised ; turnips 

 and cabbages give a normal yield. One-fourth of the apples were 

 blown from the trees ; some were sold and some were fed to stock. 

 Other fruits were abundant. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



Monroe (D. H. Sherman). — Indian corn is a very good crop, 

 what little there was planted. Rowen and fall feed are up to the 

 usual average. Potatoes are about a three-fourths crop, of good 

 quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops is fair. Apples were a fair crop before the gale, 

 which took off from one-third to one-half of them ; there is no 

 market for the windfalls and they are mostly still on the ground. 

 Pears are a good crop ; no peaches ; some plums and grapes ; 

 cranberries good.
