Heath (O. D. Canedy). — Indian corn is a fairly good crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. Not much 

 fall seeding has been done as it has been too dry. Potatoes are 

 not a normal crop. There is an abundance of apples ; not much 

 lias been done with the windfalls. Pears are plenty ; peaches few ; 

 plums not plenty ; grapes and cranberries few. 



Charlemont (S. W. Hawkes). — Indian corn is a better crop 

 than commonly but is somewhat late. Rowen is a good crop, but 

 pastures are very dry. Almost all of the fall seeding is done in 

 corn and is looking well. Potatoes are of good quality, but the 

 yield is small, owing to dry weather. Root crops and late market- 

 garden crops are looking fairly well. The apple crop is immense, 

 but a large proportion of them blew off and are still on the ground. 

 There is a good yield of pears, peaches, plums and grapes. 



Bucklancl (C. E. Ward). — Corn is a good crop, probably above 

 the average. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual aver- 

 age. Less than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, 

 owing to dry weather. Potatoes are below the normal in yield ; 

 quality good. We have apples to burn ; Greenings were badly 

 shaken in the gale ; nothing is done with the fallen fruit. 



Shelburne (G. E. Taylor). — Corn is above an average crop. 

 There is but little rowen and pastures are very short. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, but the dry weather has 

 hurt it some. Potatoes are below the average in quantity and 

 quality. The gale of the 12th stripped fall apples pretty clean 

 and shook off from 25 to 50 per cent of the winter fruit, but there 

 are plenty left. Pears and peaches were a light crop, but plums 

 were quite plenty. 



Montague (C. S. Raymond). — Indian corn is a good average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are not in good condition. About the 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is backward 

 and not looking well. Onions are about a normal crop. Potatoes 

 are of good quality but somewhat below the normal in yield. Dry 

 weather has had its influence on root crops, but they are now doing 

 fairly well. There is a fair supply of apples, though the gale 

 blew off a good many, which are being made into cider. Pears 

 are plenty ; peaches very few ; plums practically none ; grapes 

 about average. 



Wendell (N. D. Plumb). — Indian corn shows the largest acre- 

 age and yield for twenty years. . Rowen and fall feed are about 

 half the normal. There has been very little fall seeding to date. 

 Potatoes are about two-thirds of a normal crop. Root crops, 

 celery and late market-garden crops were nearly ruined by the 

 drought. The apple crop was the most promising for years, but
