Shelburne (Geo. E. Taylor). — Cut woz-ms are doing some 

 damage. Indian corn is looking well, and not much behind; 

 acreage about the same as usual. Haying has not begun ; quan- 

 tity of the crop under the average but of good quality. The 

 acreage of forage crops will not be increased to any extent. 

 Acreage of eai'ly potatoes about the same as usual, and the prom- 

 ise of the crop good. Quantity of dairy products short; prices 

 about the same as formerly. Pasturage is short, with the prospect 

 of improvement. Apples short ; also berries and currants. 



Whately (Frank Dickinson). — Cut worms are doing some 

 damage. Indian corn is looking well, with an average acreage. 

 Haying has not begun, and the crop will be less than usual. The 

 acreage of forage crops will be increased, principally corn and 

 Hungarian grass. There is an average acreage of early potatoes, 

 and the crop is looking well. Market-garden crops are late, but 

 the prospect is good. Quantity of dairy products below the aver- 

 age ; cows few and prices high. Pastures are short, but growing 

 rapidly. The outlook for apples and berries is good. 



Sunderland (Geo. P. Smith). — Canker.. worms have appeared 

 on some apple trees, and cut worms are working in tobacco. 

 Corn is in normal condition, and the acreage is not much changed. 

 Haying has not begun, and there will be a three-fourths crop. 

 The acreage of forage crops will not be increased. Less potatoes 

 are grown than usual, but they promise a full crop. Market- 

 garden crops good, and prices good. Onions are making a good 

 growth. Dairy products bring high 'prices ; supply and prices of 

 cows normal. Pastures have much improved since the rains. 

 Strawberries good ; other berries and small fruits promise well ; 

 apples light. Tobacco setting is finished, and the crop is start- 

 ing well. 



Northfield (T. R. Callender). — Potato bugs and striped squash 

 bugs are doing some damage. Indian corn is a little late, but there 

 is a good stand, with about an average acreage. Haying has not 

 begun, but the prospect for the crop is good. The acreage of 

 forage crops will not be increased. Fully as many early potatoes 

 have been planted as usual, but they came up poorly, and are 

 rather uneven. Dairy products are dull at present, and the supply 

 heavy ; cows are a little off in price. Pasturage is in excellent 

 condition since the late rains. Apples will be a light crop ; straw- 

 berries fair. 



Wendell (N. D. Plumb). — Potato bugs and tent caterpillars 

 are doing some damage. Corn is somewhat backward, but with 

 the largest acreage for years. Haying is very backward, but there 

 will be a normal crop. The acreage of forage crops will not be
