weather has not been good for securing it. Not much fall seeding 

 has been done. Potatoes made a large yield, but are rottiug badly. 

 Root crops are looking finely. There Tvill be rather small yields 

 of fruit of all kinds. 



Goshen (Alvan Barrus). — Corn shows a heavy growth, but is 

 late in maturing. Rowen and fall feed are better than normal. 

 Wet weather has hindered fall seeding, but that put in is in fine 

 condition. Onions are a fair crop. Those potatoes maturing 

 before the blight were of light yield, but first quality ; late ones 

 better yield, but showing more or less decay. The prospect for 

 root crops and late market-garden crops is about normal. Fruits 

 of all kinds are below par in yield and qualit}'. Springs and 

 streams are well filled. 



Cumniington (S. TV. Clark). — Indian corn is somewhat above 

 the average, but rather late. Rowen and fall feed are up to the 

 normal, but the weather has been bad for curing rowen. The 

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

 condition. Onions are not raised here. Potatoes are fully up to 

 if not above the normal in yield and quality. The prospect for 

 root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops is very good. 

 Apples are a half crop ; other fruit normal. Have had much wet 

 weather; only eight days of sunshine thus far this month. 



HAMPDEN COUNTY. 



Tolland (Eugene M. Moore). — Indian corn is not quite an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed were above the normal. The 

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

 dition. But few onions are raised, but they are of fair quality. 

 Potatoes are about a normal yield and of good quality, but are 

 rotting badly on some fields. No market-gardening is done here. 

 Apples are about half a crop ; very few pears ; wild cranberries 

 quite plentiful. 



Russell (E. D. Parks). — The corn crop is up to the average. 

 Rowen is a normal crop on good land, and fall feed is about up to 

 the average. Fall seeding is in very good condition. Onions are 

 little raised. Potatoes are not a very good crop, and are rotting 

 somewhat. There are quite a few apples, pears and peaches. 

 The fall rains have improved pastures and left the ground in better 

 condition. 



Westfield (C. F. Fowler). — The corn crop is the best in years ; 

 10 per cent above the normal. Row^^en is a little below the aver- 

 age, but fall feed is good. The usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done, and it is in fine condition. Potatoes are below the
