Dartmouth (L. T. Davis) . — Field corn has made a fine growth, 

 and I think is earing well. Sweet corn is not raised for market. 

 Rowen is much below the average. Late potatoes are not much 

 raised, but there is neither blight nor rot, and a normal crop is 

 promised. Pasturage is getting somewhat short, but is quite fair 

 for the season. Oats and barley have made fair, normal yields. 



PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Norwell (H. A. Turner). — Indian corn is in very good condi- 

 tion. Sweet corn is not raised for canning in this locality. There 

 will hardly be a normal crop of rowen. Have noticed no blight 

 or rot on late potatoes. Apples and pears are looking well, also 

 cranberries. Pasturage is in very good condition. Not many 

 oats and very little barley raised in this locality. 



Hanover. — (Harrison L. House) . — Field corn is in fair con- 

 dition. Sweet corn is not raised for canning. There will be a 

 normal crop of rowen. Late potatoes promise well, with neither 

 blight nor rot as yet. Apples and pears good ; no peaches ; few 

 grapes ; cranberries good. Pasturage is in normal condition. 

 Oats are fully up to the average ; no barley raised. 



West Bridgeivater (C. P. Howard). — Corn is looking the best 

 that it has for several years. Sweet corn is not grown for can- 

 ning. It has been so dry that nothing but clover makes any show 

 as roweu. Owing to the dry season, the yield of potatoes is light ; 

 no blight as yet. Only a few apples ; no peach trees survived the 

 winter, and many grape vines were killed. There has not been 

 rain enough to provide good feed in the pastures. Oats and bar- 

 ley looked well, but were all cut green and cured for hay. 



Hanson (Flaval S. Thomas, M.D.). — Indian corn is in good 

 condition. Sweet corn is not raised for canning. The prospect 

 for rowen is poor. There will be a good yield of late potatoes, 

 although there is some blight and rot. Apples, pears and peaches 

 small, poor and few ; grapes and cranberries fair. Pastures are 

 in good condition. Oats and barley are about the same as usual. 

 For three nights we have just escaped frost. 



Plympton ( Wintiirop Fillebrown) . — Where Indian corn came 

 up well it is now in the best condition it has been for several years. 

 Sweet corn is not grown for canning. Rowen is better than usual. 

 Some of the late potatoes are still clean and bright, and there is 

 no indication of rot. Apples are not up to the usual crop ; pears, 

 peaches and grapes about normal ; some cranberry bogs are show- 

 ing an exceptional crop. Pasturage is in exceptionally good con- 

 dition. Oats and barley are not raised for grain.
