normal. Roweu is a fair crop, better than predicted last month ; 

 fall feed good. Scarcely any August seeding was done this year, 

 but quite a few pieces are being reseeded this month. No onions 

 raised commercially. Potatoes are reported to be rather under a 

 normal crop, but of good quality. All root crops look promising ; 

 celery and spinach about normal. Fall apples scarce and high in 

 price, Baldwins, Greenings and Russets very fair ; pears and 

 peaches medium, but fruit undei'sized ; grapes and cranberries 

 not plentiful. 



Manchester (John Baker). — Corn is better than a normal crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are excellent, owing to the wet weather. The 

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

 condition. Onions are little raised. Potatoes are rather a poor 

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

 market-garden crops. There will be good crops of all kinds of 

 fruit. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Cohnsset (Philander Bates). — Indian corn is not raised to 

 any extent. Rowen and fall feed are both better than usual. 

 Only a small amount of fall seeding has been done. Onions are 

 less than a normal crop. Potatoes are good in yield and quality. 

 Root crops and late market-garden crops promise well, but are 

 raised for home use and not for market. Apples are a small crop ; 

 pears normal ; peaches not raised ; grapes a very light crop. 



Canton (Edwin V. Kinsley). — Indian corn is an average crop, 

 and is mostly grown for fodder. Rowen will be an average crop, 

 thanks to the late rains ; fall feed is good. About the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, and it looks very well. 

 There is a light crop of onions, they being very much injured 

 early in the season by maggots. Potatoes are very uneven, some 

 fields being fine and others giving small yields ; no rot noticed. 

 The prospect is good for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops. Apples are a very short crop ; other fruits very 

 good except cranberries. A scarcity of milk and increased de- 

 mand for milch cows, with a jump in price for good ones, are noted. 



Westwood (Henry E. Weatherbee). — There is a good crop of 

 Indian corn. The rowen crop and fall feed will both be up to the 

 normal, although they have thickened up fast during the last ten 

 days. About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, 

 and it is looking well. Very few onions are raised. There is 

 general complaint that the potato crop will be light. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops are looking well. The
