dition. Market-garden crops promise fairly well, but potatoes are 

 not in very promising condition ; prices about as usual. There 

 will be a fair yield of apples, a good one of pears and cranberries, 

 a poor one of grapes, no peaches or quinces and few plums. Pas- 

 tures are fairly good. Rye and oats are little raised, but are good 

 crops. 



Pembroke (Nathaniel Morton) . — Cut worms are doing some 

 damage. Indian corn is grown to a very limited extent in this 

 locality, and none is grown for the silo. Quality of hay crop good, 

 but quantity rather less than half. Hungarian grass is the prin- 

 cipal forage crop grown. Market-garden crops in poor condition ; 

 yield and prices average for those harvested. Apples, pears, 

 peaches, grapes, plums, quinces and cranberries will all give light 

 crops. Pasturage is poor and limited. Rye, oats and barley are 

 not up to the average. 



Duxbury (Robert T. Randall). — Cut worms and potato bugs 

 are our most troublesome insects. Indian corn is looking well, but 

 only a small proportion of the crop is grown for the silo. There 

 is about a two-thirds crop of hay. Hungarian grass, millet, oats 

 and barley are the principal forage crops grown. Market-garden 

 crops are suffering badly from drought ; prices about as usual. 

 There will be fair crops of apples and cranberries ; other fruits 

 about the same as formerly. Pasturage is short. Rye, oats and 

 barley are about average crops, both for grain and forage. 



Kingston (Geo. L. Churchill). — Potato bugs are doing some 

 damage. Corn looks to be a good crop ; not much raised for the 

 silo. Hay was about a two-thirds crop of excellent quality. Corn 

 and millet are the principal forage crops raised. Not many market- 

 garden crops have been harvested, but they look well. There will 

 not be large yields of fruit in this section. Pasturage is very good. 

 Rye, oats and barley look well. 



Lakeville (Nathaniel G. Staples). — Potato bugs are doing 

 some damage. Indian corn is in good condition ; none of the crop 

 will go into the silo. Hay is 10 per cent less than an average crop 

 in quantity, but of good quality. Corn is the principal forage 

 crop grown. Market-garden crops are not up to tlie average in 

 condition ; potatoes below the average in quantity and price. 

 Apples fair ; peaches good ; all other fruits about as usual. Pas- 

 tures are in good condition. Rye, oats and barley are a little 

 better than average crops. 



Rochester (Geo. H. Randall). — Potato bugs, cut worms and 

 web worms are doing some damage. Indian corn is in good con- 

 dition ; but little is grown for the silo. Hay is fully an average
