Sunderland (George P. Smith) . — Indiau corn is a normal crop. 

 Rowen is much improved, but not much has been secured as j^et. 

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

 condition. Onions are below normal in size, but are about an 

 average yield. Potatoes are loss tlian a normal 3'ield, and show 

 some rot. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 are not much grown. There will be from oue-half to two-thirds 

 of a crop of apples ; other fruits not much grown. 



Erving (Chas. F. Clark). — Indian corn compares favorably 

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

 average. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and 

 it is in good condition. Onions are very little raised. Thei'e is 

 an average yield of potatoes, but they are rotting more than usual. 

 There will be good yields of root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops. There will be a light crop of fruit. 



New Salem (Daniel Ballard). — Indian corn is somewhat 

 above the normal. There is a fair crop of rowen, and fall feed is 

 holding out well since the rains. About the usual amount of fall 

 seeding has been done, and it is looking well. Onions are a light 

 crop, but are Utile raised. Potatoes ai-e a light yield, but of good 

 quality. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 are looking well, but are not much raised for market. There will 

 be medium yields of apples, pears and grapes.

Amherst (Wm. P. Brooks). — Corn is fully normal, but a little 

 late in maturing. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average, 

 but there is much rowen yet to be cut, as we have had no weather 

 for curing for about three weeks. Nearly all fall seeding is done
