and pears plenty ; grapes very small and scarce. Fall lettuce and 

 beets are f airlj' good ; cabbages abundant. 



Dighton (James N. Paul). — 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, but it is too early to say as 

 to its condition. Onions are about half a crop. Potatoes are 

 about half the normal in yield, and of good quality. The prospect 

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

 Apples good ; pears poor ; peaches good ; grapes poor ; cranberries 

 not grown. Strawberry plants have made a good growth, and the 

 beds are looking well. 



Berkley (Rollin H. Babbitt). — Indian corn is fully up to the 

 average, but is about two weeks late. About the usual amount 

 of fall seeding has been done, and it is looking well. Potatoes 

 are much below the noi*mal in yield, but are of good quality. The 

 prospect for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 is very good. There is a light crop of apples ; pears and peaches 

 plenty ; grapes scarce ; cranberries half a crop. 



Westport (Albert S. Sherman). — The corn crop is better than 

 it has been for many years. Rowen and fall feed are up to the 

 usual average. About the usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done, and it is in fine condition. There is a large crop of onions. 

 Potatoes are of good quality and large yield, but are rotting badly. 

 Turnips and cabbages will be large crops ; celery not much raised, 

 but what there is looks well. Apples, pears and peaches plenty ; 

 grapes and cranberries scarce. Apples are falling badly. 



Dartmouth (L. T. Davis). — Indian corn is fully up to the 

 normal, or a little better. Rowen is below the usual average. 

 Very little fall seeding has been done as yet, but that put in is in 

 fine condition. Onions are about an average crop. Potatoes are 

 below most years in yield, and have rotted quite badly on some 

 fields. The condition so far seems to indicate a full yield of root 

 crops and late market-garden crops. Apples 60 per cent of normal 

 yield ; pears 75 per cent. 



PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Brockton (Davis Copeland), — Indian corn is about an average 

 crop. Rowen is in good condition on moist land ; feed in pastures 

 looking well. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, 

 and it is in good condition. Onions are not over 75 per cent of a 

 full crop. Potatoes are about 80 per cent of a normal yield. 

 Root crops that had got started are looking well ; celery is late, 

 but is growing well now. The prospect is not very good for fruit 

 of any kind.
