Palmer (0. P. Allen). — Corn is late in earing, and is a little 

 less than a normal crop. Late rains have redeemed the rowen 

 crop from failure. About the usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done, and it is looking well. Onions are not much raised. 

 Potatoes are a light crop, and are rotting badly. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops promise well. Apples 

 are turning out poorly and are of poor quality ; peaches and grapes 

 have yielded well, but are rotting on account of excessive rains. 



Brimfield (C. S. Tarbell). — Indian corn is better than an 

 average crop. The rowen crop is very late and rather light ; fall 

 feed good. About the usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done, and it is in good condition. Potatoes made a light yield, 

 and are rotting badly. The prospect is very good for root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops. Apples are a ver}'^ 

 light crop ; cranberries good. 



WORCESTER COUNTY. 



Warren (W. E. Patrick). — Indian corn is nearly a normal crop, 

 but is late in ripening. Rowen is a light crop, and fall feed is 

 above the normal. The weather has been too rainy for seeding, and 

 little has been done. There is a very light crop of potatoes, and 

 considerable rot. The prospect is good for root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops. There will be very few 

 apples ; a good crop of pears and peaches. 



Brookjield (Frank E. Prouty). — Indian corn is a good 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. 

 But few onions are raised, but those raised are good. Yield of 

 potatoes not up to the normal, and rotting badly. The prospect 

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

 Apples are not over a one-third crop ; pears good ; peaches but 

 little raised and quite good ; grapes good ; cranberries but little 

 raised. 



West Brookjield (Myron A. Richardson). — Indian corn is the 

 best it has been for years, but a little backward. Rowen and fall 

 feed are not up to the usual average, many fields of rowen not 

 being heavy enough to pay for cutting. No fall seeding has been 

 done as yet, except that done in corn at the last hoeing. Potatoes 

 are rotting somewhat, but are a large yield of excellent quality. 

 Pears and apples below the average, and small in size. Consider- 

 able millet has been harvested to help out the hay crop. Ensilage 

 corn is of excellent growth and quality, and is being put into the 

 silos as fast as possible.
