NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Westwood (Henry E. Weatherbee) . — Potato bugs are more 

 plenty than usual, and cut worms have done considerable damage. 

 Corn is looking well since the hot weather. Hay was a full crop 

 and of fine quality on land that is in good condition, but a light 

 crop on old land. Fodder corn and Hungarian grass are raised 

 to eke out the pastures, and are in good condition. Potatoes are 

 a fairly good crop, but there is some complaint of their not setting 

 well. Apples, pears, peaches, plums and grapes are looking well 

 now. Since the late rains pastures are looking well. Rye, oats 

 and barley have been good crops, both for forage and grain. 



Nonvood (Frank A. Fales). — Squash bugs and potato bugs 

 are our most troublesome insects. Indian corn is late ; but a small 

 percentage of the crop is used for ensilage. Hay is about a three- 

 fourths crop of fair quality. Japanese millet and Hungarian grass 

 are raised to help out the pastures. ' Market-garden crops are in 

 good condition and prices have been good ; no potatoes dug as 

 yet. All fruits are looking well at this time. The hot spell dried 

 up the pastures. Rye, oats and barley have done well, and oats 

 unusually so. 



Randolph (Rupus A. Thayer). — Potato bugs are doing some 

 damage. Indian corn is in excellent condition, and nearly all the 

 crop is used for the silo. There is a good average crop of hay of 

 good quality. Oats, Hungarian grass and the millets are the 

 principal forage crops grown, and are in good condition. Market- 

 garden crops are up to the average in yield, but prices are rather 

 low. Apples and pears promise good crops ; peaches and grapes 

 badly winter-killed. 



Waljjole (Edward L. Siiepard). — Potato bugs, squash bugs 

 and rose bugs are doing some damage. Corn is looking well, but 

 is rather late ; half the crop is raised for the silo. The hay crop 

 is 80 per cent of a full crop iu quantity, and of fair quality. 

 Fodder corn, oats, Hungarian grass and millet are the principal 

 forage crops grown, and are in good condition. Potatoes are look- 

 ing well. Market-garden crops came up poorly, but are looking 

 well wliere tliey came up well ; prices about as usual. Apples will 

 be half a crop ; other fruits fair. Pasturage is in normal condition. 

 Rye, oats and barley are above average crops, both for grain and 

 forage. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Potato bugs and rose bugs are 

 doing some damage. Corn is looking finely ; three-fourths of the 

 acreage goes into the silo. There is about an average crop of hay
