used for cider for vinegar making. All other fruits have turned 

 out well. 



Danvers (C. H. Preston). — Corn is less than an average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. Less than 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is backward. 

 Onions are less than an average crop. Potatoes are a normal crop 

 in yield and quality. Apples were a large crop, but two-thirds to 

 three-fourths of them were blown off in the gale of the 12th; 

 nothing has been done with the windfalls as yet. Pears average ; 

 peaches good ; grapes good ; plums a small crop. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Stoughton (C. F. Curtis). — Indian corn is about 70 per cent 

 of an average crop. On low land there is a fair crop of rowen, 

 but only on low land. The average amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and the present condition is good. Potatoes are of 

 good quality, but the yield is not over 60 per cent of the normal. 

 The apple crop turned out much better than I thought possible, 

 but the gale blew two-thirds of the fruit from the trees, and the 

 windfalls will go into cider. All other fruits turned out very fair 

 crops for this section. 



Canton (E. V. Kinsley). — Corn is a full average crop. There 

 is very little rowen and no fall feed. About the usual amount of 

 fall seeding has been done and many fields are showing green since 

 the rains. Potatoes are below the average in yield ; qualit} 7 excel- 

 lent ; no rot reported. Root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops are light crops, of medium quality. Apples are not 

 picked, about one-third remaining on the trees since the gale of 

 the Pith; quality good; windfalls mostly sent to cider mills; 

 thousands of bushels at the mills in this vicinity, no sale at pres- 

 ent. Pears a full crop, quality good ; other fruits mentioned good 

 crops ; cranberries light. Milk supply short and talk of higher 

 prices than for last winter. 



Norwood (Hon. F. A. Fales). — Indian corn is 80 per cent of 

 a full crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. 

 Not more than a quarter of the usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done, owing to the dry weather. Ouions are about a three- 

 fourths crop. Potatoes are about half a normal crop. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops are in very good condi- 

 tion. Apples are a fair crop; windfalls made into cider. Other 

 fruits have been average crops. 



Medfield (Geo. R. Chase). — Indian corn is a three-fourths 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. The
