 mouth, and we shall have a full crop. Sweet corn is not raised for 

 market. On low ground rowen looks well, but on the whole the 

 crop will be light. Apples light ; pears few ; no peaches ; some 

 grapes ; cranberries fair. Pasturage is now rather short. Oats 

 and barley are full average crops. 



Wareliam (A. B. Savaky). — Field corn is in good condition. 

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

 of rowen. There is a fair prospect for late potatoes, but some 

 blight has appeared. There will be a few apples ; cranberries 

 below average. Pastures are in good condition. Oats and barley 

 are about the usual yields. 



Mattapoisett (E. C. Stetson). — Indian corn is in very good 

 condition. There is no canning of sweet corn in this locality.

 late potatoes, but there is a little blight and rot. There will be

 berries good. Pasturage is in good condition. Oats and barley
