are in about average condition. Oats and barley are below 

 average crops. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Randolph (Rufus A. Thayer). — Indian corn promises a good 

 crop. Sweet corn is not raised for canning. Rowen will be less 

 than a normal crop. Late potatoes are not a good crop, although 

 there is no blight or rot as yet. Apples, peaches and grapes are 

 not average crops. Pasturage is in about the usual condition at 

 this season of the year. Oats and barley were good crops, and 

 mostly used for fodder. 



Canton (Edavin V. Kinsi.ky). — Corn is in very good condition, 

 but is principally raised for the silo. Sweet corn is grown only 

 for the market. The outlook for the rowen crop is very poor. 

 Late potatoes look well ; have not seen or heard of blight. Apples 

 very light ; all other fruits very good. Pastures are pretty well 

 dried up. Oats and barley have done well as forage crops ; not 

 raised for grain. Some farmers report that their cows have done 

 and are doing nicely, others that they are doing very poorly ; quite 

 a marked divergence. 



Walpole (Edward L. Siiepard). — Indian corn is fair, but 

 rather late. No sweet corn grown for canning. There will be 

 only a light crop of rowen. Late potatoes look well ; some blight 

 and rot. Apples, pears, peaches and grapes are light crops ; 

 cranberries fair. Pastures are in fair condition for the time of 

 year. Oats* and barley are normal crops. 



MilUs (E. F. RiCHARDsox.) — Field corn is extra good, this 

 being a fine corn season. Sweet corn is not grown for canning. 

 There will be more than an average crop of rowen. Late potatoes 

 promise well, with neither blight nor rot as yet. Pears will give 

 a good yield ; other fruits light. Pasturage is in fair condition. 

 Oats and barley have been average crops. 



Franldin (C. M. Allen). — Indian corn looks finely. Sweet 

 corn is not raised for canning in this section. Rowen looks very 

 well, but is late and will be light. The prospect for late potatoes 

 is poor, though there is neither blight nor rot as yet. Apples very 

 light; pears good; peaches fine; grapes medium. Pastures are 

 in very good condition. Oats and barley were very good crops. 

 The season has been a good one, except that the hay crop was 

 nearly a fourth short. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Mansfield (Wm. C. Winter). — Indian corn generally has made 

 good growth ; but, owing to dry weather, is earing poorly on high 

 ground. Sweet corn is not raised for canning. Rowen is fairly
