Carver (J. A. Vaughan). — Indian corn compares well with a 

 normal crop. There is a large crop of roweu, but bad weather to 

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

 is in good condition. No onions are grown here. Yield of pota- 

 toes large; some rot on low ground. The prospect is good for 

 root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. But few 

 apples and pears, and no peaches. The cranberry crop in this 

 section will be very light. The vines on dry bogs winter-killed 

 badly; there was a full blossom, but the crop did not set well ; 

 and the fruit worm has been very destructive. 



LakeviUe (Nathaniel G-. Staples). — Indian corn is hardly an 

 average crop. Roweu and fall feed are in good condition. The 

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

 dition. Onions will be about a three-fourths crop. Yield of pota- 

 toes three-fourths of the normal, and quality good. Prospect for 

 root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops fair. 

 Apples poor ; pears few ; peaches fair ; cranberries about half a 

 crop. 



Rochester (Geo. H. Randall). — Indian corn is a very good 

 crop. Roweu and fall feed are up to the normal. About half the 

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

 Onions are about half a crop. Potatoes are half a crop or less, 

 of fair quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops is very good. Fruit of all kinds will be a 

 smaller j^ield than was estimated. 



BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Falmouth (D. R. Wicks). — Corn is fully up to a normal crop, 

 where not rusted. Roweu and fall feed are more than normal. 

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

 condition. Onions are a poor crop, having blighted; not over 30 

 per cent of a normal crop. Potatoes are a three-fourths crop in 

 yield, with rot, some fields not being worth harvesting. Late 

 market-garden crops and root crops look well. Apples, pears and 

 peaches are failures ; grapes and cranberries small crops. The 

 season has been one of the worst ever seen, all crops suffering 

 from blights except grass, which never was better in pastures and 

 mowings in the past sixty years. 



Ma.-^hpee (W. F. Hammond). — The corn crop is about an aver- 

 age one. Roweu is above the normal, and fall feed is about aver- 

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

 but it is looking well. The onion crop is about average. Potatoes 

 are about normal in yield and quality. Late market-garden crops
