are rotting badl}', some fields being hardly worth digging. Turnips 

 promise well ; no celerj^ raised. Apples are about one-fourth of 

 a crop ; few pears ; no peaches or grapes ; more cranberries than 

 usual. 



Rowe (N. E. Adams). — Indian corn is about two weeks late, 

 but is of good size. Rowen and fall feed are more than average 

 crops. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is 

 in good condition. Potatoes are very uneven, and are rotting 

 badly. The prospect is good for root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops. Apples fair; pears poor; peaches good. 

 Potatoes rot just as badly if dug and in the cellar as if in the field, 

 and are in very bad shape. 



Hawley (C. C. Fuller). — Indian corn compares very well with 

 a normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the normal. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is in good con- 

 dition. Onions are not raised hereabouts. There was a good 

 yield of potatoes, but the}' are rotting. There is a fair yield of all 

 kinds of fruit. 



Shelburne (Geo. E. Taylor). — Corn was never better this 

 year, and will soon be safe in silo and stock. There is a good 

 crop of rowen, but no weather to secure ; pastures are green like 

 May, but feed short. The usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done, and it is in good condition. Onions are not raised. Pota- 

 toes are uneven, and rotting somewhat. Apples are very scarce 

 and poor ; some peaches. 



Colrain (A. A. Smith). — Indian corn is fully up to a normal 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is in good con- 

 dition. Onions are not nearly a normal crop. Potatoes are below 

 the normal in both quantity and quality. The prospect is good 

 for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. There 

 will be about average yields of all kinds of fruit. 



Gill (F. F. Stoughton). — Indian corn is fully an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the normal. Not much fall 

 seeding has been done. Very few onions are raised. Not many 

 potatoes have been dug, and there is much complaint of rot. 

 Apples and grapes are a light yield ; other fruits not much raised. 

 W/mtely (Frank Dickinson). — Corn is good, but a week late. 

 Rowen is short and late ; fall feed good. The usual amount of 

 fall seeding has been done, and it is coming on well. Onions are 

 small, both in size and total yield. Yield of potatoes good ; some 

 rot, quality otherwise fine. The prospect is good for root crops, 

 celery and other late mai*ket-garden crops. Apples ai-e half a 

 crop ; peaches good ; grapes normal.
