and no blight or rot has appeared. Apples fair; very few pears ; 

 cranberry crop very light. Pastures rather short. Fruit worms 

 are making sad havoc with cranberries in this vicinity, and the pros- 

 pect is for a very small crop. 



Harwich (Ambrose N. Doane). — Field corn is in very good 

 condition. Sweet corn is not raised for canning. Rowen promises 

 to give a fair yield. Late potatoes are looking well, with no rot or 

 blight. Apples, pears and peaches are looking badly ; grapes fair ; 

 cranberries about 40 per cent of the crop of 1904. Pasturage is 

 poor on uplands and good on lowlands. Oats and barley are very 

 good crops. Our cranberry crop was badly injured by winter-kill- 

 ing, spring frost, vine worms; and now the fruit worm is eating 

 badl}^ with the result that the crop will be very poor this season. 



Truro (D. E. Paine). — Indian corn is not raised. Sweet corn 

 is not raised for canning. Rowen promises a very fair crop. The 

 prospect for late potatoes is fair. Few apples, pears, peaches and 

 grapes ; cranberries fair. Pasturage is in very good condition. 

 Oats and barley are very little raised. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tisbury (Geo. Hunt Luce) . — Field corn is above the aver- 

 age in condition. Sweet corn is not raised for canning. Rowen 

 will be above an average crop. There is some complaint of a small 

 yield of late potatoes, but blight and rot have not appeared. There 

 is a fair prospect for fruit of all kinds. Pasturage is in good con- 

 dition. Oats are above an average crop. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (H. G. Worth). — Indian corn is in normal condi- 

 tion. Sweet corn is not raised for canning. Rowen will be a 

 good crop on low land. The prospect for late potatoes is poor 

 and most fields have blight or rot. There is no fruit here ; cran- 

 berries a normal crop. Pasturage is in good condition. There 

 will be fair average yields of oats and barley.
