weather. There was a heavy crop of apples, of good quality, but 

 the gale destroyed it ; people are making cider of the fallen fruit. 

 Pears good ; peaches fair ; plums good ; grapes poor ; cranberries 

 about a two-thirds crop. 



Hanson (F. S. Thomas). — Indian corn is an average crop. 

 There is little rowen but fall feed is good. The usual amount of 

 fall seeding has been done and it is in good condition. Onions 

 are a normal crop. Potatoes are a small crop, of good quality. 

 Apples are good but small ; many were shaken from the trees by 

 the gale of the 12th, but in many cases there are plenty left ; some 

 are making cider of the windfalls, some are drying part of them 

 and many are doing nothing with them. Other fruits were good 

 crops. 



Pembroke (Nathaniel Morton). — Indian corn is about an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are far below the usual aver- 

 age, owing to dry weather. Less than the usual amount of fall 

 seeding has been done. Onions are not an average crop. Pota- 

 toes are poor in yield but of good quality. Root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops are below the average. The apple 

 crop is abundant; the gale shook off one-half, which will be of 

 little value because ^mature. Pears are abundant; plums and 

 grapes average ; cranberries about half a crop. 



Lakeville (N. G. Staples) . — Corn is about a three-fourths crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. About the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done but it is very late. Onions 

 are half a crop. Potatoes are not half a crop as to yield but are 

 of good quality. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops will be short. There was a good crop of apples, but the gale 

 blew off three-fourths of them and the windfalls are not worth 

 picking up. Pears, peaches, plums, grapes and cranberries were 

 all short crops. 



BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Bourne (D. D. Nye). — Indian corn is not 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. Scarcely auy 

 onions are raised in this town. In some localities potatoes have 

 done well, in others they are a failure. The prospect for root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops is very poor. 

 Apples were a very good crop until the gale of the 12th; the 

 windfalls are mostly fed to stock, though some of them are dried. 

 Pears, grapes and cranberries are very fair crops ; peaches and 

 plums scarce. 



Falmouth (D. R. Wicks). — Corn is nearer an average crop than 

 any other. There is very little rowen ; fall feed looks better since
