Marshfield (John H. Bourne). — Indian corn is a good crop on 

 rich, moist land, and a small one on dry or weak land. The rowen 

 crop has improved greatly with the rains of the past month. The 

 dry weather retarded the growth of onions, making them of small 

 size. Less than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, 

 owing first to drought and secondly to too much rain. The pros- 

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

 fine. Some fruits have done well, but as a whole will give small 

 crops; cranberries nearly a failure. 



Pembroke (Nathaniel Morton). — Indian corn is not quite up 

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

 Less than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but it 

 is in fair condition. Onions are not raised in quantity, only a few 

 for home use. Potatoes are below the normal in yield, but are of 

 fair quality. No market-garden crops are grown. Apples are 

 small and wormy ; pears abundant ; peaches few ; grapes below 

 the normal ; cranberries about a two-thirds crop. 



Duxh'iry (R. T. Randall). — Corn is about a normal crop, but 

 late. Rowen is a good crop, but wet weather injured that cut; 

 fall feed good. Not much fall seeding has been done, but the 

 condition is good, except that it is backward. There is a good 

 crop of onions in some localities. Potatoes are a failure from 

 blight, rot and grubs ; some farmers who had hundreds of bushels 

 to sell last year will have to buy this year. Root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops are about the same as usual. 

 Apples are plenty ; pears, peaches and grapes scarce ; cranberries 

 wormy and scarce. 



Kingston (George L. Churchill). — Indian corn is up to the 

 standard of a normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are in excellent 

 condition. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and 

 it is in good condition ; not much done at any time hereabouts. 

 Onions are not much raised. Potatoes are not as good a crop as 

 usual. What root crops and late market-garden crops there are, 

 are about as in other years. Apples are a small crop, and not of 

 very good quality ; pears are poor ; grapes poor ; cranberries one- 

 third crop. 



Bridgetvater (Rowland Cas;^). — The corn crop is a good aver- 

 age one. Fall feed and rowen are above the normal. Less than 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but that already 

 put in is in good condition. But few onions are raised in this 

 locality, and these are below the normal. Potatoes are a fair 

 crop, but rot is prevalent in this neighborhood, and will materially 

 reduce the yield. Apples are a poor crop ; pears, peaciies and 

 grapes in good supply.
