apple crop will be light, but peaches, grapes and pears will be 

 good 



Waljyole (Edward L. Shepard). — Coru will be three-fourths 

 of a normal crop. Rowen is below the normal, but fall feed is in 

 good condition. Less than the usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done, but that put in is in good condition. Onions are a 

 good crop. Potatoes are below the normal in yield, quality fair. 

 Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are below 

 the average in condition. Apples are half a crop ; pears, peaches, 

 grapes and cranberries fairly good crops. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Indian corn is better than an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the normal. There 

 has not been quite as much fall seeding done as usual, but it is in 

 excellent condition. Onions are about an average crop. Potatoes 

 are below the average in yield and quality. The prospect for root 

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

 are short crops on all fruits except peaches. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Mansfield (Wm. C. Winter) . — Owing to very dry weather earlier 

 in the season, the corn crop will be below the normal. On low land 

 rowen is about a normal crop, on high land there is little or none ; 

 fall feed will be fair. Very little seeding has been done, and it is 

 in fair condition. Potatoes are about a normal crop in yield and 

 quality. Abundant rains make prospects on all late market-garden 

 crops excellent. Apples are a small crop ; pears good ; peaches 

 poor ; grapes good ; cranberries uncertain. 



Norton (Wm. A. Lane). — Indian corn is an average crop. 

 There is a good crop of rowen, but no weather for harvesting it. 

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

 is looking well. There are very few onions raised hereabouts. 

 Potatoes are not as good as last year, and grubs are working 

 badly on them. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops promise about average crops. There will be small yields 

 of all kinds of fruit. 



Seekonk (John W. Peck). — Indian corn compares fairly well 

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

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

 able condition. Onions are not up to the crops of recent years. 

 Potatoes are fully normal in yield, and of good quality. The pros- 

 pect is very poor for root crops ; celery is blasting, and making 

 very slow growth ; spinach was killed by the heavy rains. Apples
