apples are small, as a rule ; pears a very good crop ; peaches 

 fair. 



Maynard (L. H. Maynard). — Indian corn has done exception- 

 all}' well this season, and is above the normal. Rowen and fall 

 feed are not up to the average except on early-cut fields on low 

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

 looking well. There is a normal crop of onions. Potatoes are 

 about three-fourths of a full crop, and many fields are rotting 

 badly. Market-garden crops are about average in yield and 

 quality. There are more apples than usual on off years, and, 

 while small in size, they are smooth and fair. Pears and peaches 

 are plenty ; grapes are short, many vines winter-killing. 



Westford (J, W. Fletcher). — Indian corn is about an average 

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

 About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is 

 looking well. Potatoes have made about a two-thirds yield, and 

 are of good quality. Fruit of all kinds has yielded well in this 

 section. 



Dunstable (A. J. Gilson). — Corn is more than an average crop. 

 The rowen crop and fall feed are above the usual average. The 

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

 dition. Onions are about a normal crop. Very few potatoes have 

 been harvested, and the condition of the crop is uncertain. Very 

 little market-gardening is done in this locality ; roots of all kinds 

 are light yields. There is a light crop of apples ; pears, peaches, 

 grapes and cranberries are quite plenty. 



Teivksbury (G. E. Crosby). — Indian corn compares very well 

 with the normal. Rowen and fall feed have improved within the 

 last two weeks. Not much fall seeding has been done near here. 

 Onions have done well, except that they suffered much from insects 

 the first of the season. Some fields of potatoes have been troubled 

 with rot, others good. The prospect is generally good for root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. Apples scarce ; 

 some pears and peaches ; fair yield of cranberries. 



Billerica (Geo. P. Greenwood). — Corn is a fair crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are nearly up to the normal. The conditions have 

 been very good for fall seeding. Onions are a good crop. Pota- 

 toes are a very small yield, and are rotting somewhat. The pros- 

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

 crops. There is a light crop of all fruits. The supply of milk 

 has seemed to be short all summer. 



Carlisle (E. .J. Carr). — The corn crop will be about an aver- 

 age one. Rowen and fall feed are about up to the normal. Not 

 as much fall seeding as usual has been done, but what is in is
