Pepperell (W. F. Dennen). — Indian corn is in very good con- 

 dition, with a large acreage planted. Sweet corn is not raised for 

 canning. Rowen is in very good condition. There are few late 

 potatoes in this section ; no blight as yet. Apples are few and 

 small ; pears, peaches, grapes and cranberries are not raised here. 

 Pasturage is very short. Oats and barley are full average crops. 



Westfonl (J. W. Fletcher). — Field corn is in good condition. 

 Sweet corn is not raised for canning. There will be no rowen at 

 all, as it has been too dry. Late potatoes are better than early 

 ones, and there is as yet no blight or rot. There will be better 

 than an average crop of fruit of all kinds. Pastui'age is in poor 

 condition owing to dry weather. 



Chelmsford (Perley P. Perham). — Indian corn will be a good 

 crop, if frost holds off. Sweet corn is not raised for canning, only 

 for market use. There will be an average crop of rowen, and a 

 large one with further rains. Early potatoes are a good crop ; no 

 blight or rot on late ones as yet. Apples promise well ; pears, 

 peaches and grapes average. Pastures are looking much better 

 since the late rains. Oats and barley were large crops, but mostly 

 used for fodder.

 grapes good. There is a full crop of oats, barley and all forage
