Potatoes are of good quality, but are below normal in yield. Apples 

 are above normal in yield and quality, while pears are a small 

 crop. There has been no damage from early frosts. Renewed 

 interest in apple growing has resulted in larger yields of better 

 crops. 



Leyden (Frank R. Foster). — The rowen crop and fall feed 

 are fully up to the usual average. Potatoes are fully up to the 

 average in yield, especially the late varieties; quality of the crop 

 is very good. The prospect for root crops is very good. Fruit, 

 yield: apples, a one-half crop; pears, average; peaches, very few; 

 grapes, abundant. Fruit, quality: apples, fine; pears, fine; grapes, 

 excellent. There has been some damage from early frosts to vines 

 on low ground, otherwise not to any great extent. There is an 

 increased interest and activity in spraying, which has resulted 

 in better fruit, but there is a lack of proper pruning practices. 



Northfield (T. R. Callender). — The corn crop is about normal. 

 The rowen crop is very light. Fall feed is in fair condition. The 

 visual amount of fall seeding has been done, and the condition of 

 such fields is above the average. Onions are an average crop, or 

 possibly somewhat above the average. Potatoes are poor in yield, 

 but of good quality. Fruit, yield: apples, average, and of good 

 quality; grapes, average. There has been no damage from early 

 frosts. There is more spraying being done than formerly. 



Buekland (Eugene D. Geiswold). — The corn crop is from 75 

 to 80 per cent of normal. The rowen crop is way below normal, 

 and in fact there has been very little cut. There has been less fall 

 seeding than usual, but it is looking very well at present. There 

 have not been potatoes enough dug yet to tell as to the crop. Root 

 crops are about noi-mal. Fruit, yield: apples, normal; pears, 60 

 to 75 per cent ; peaches, very few ; grapes, normal. Fruit, quality : 

 apples, extra good; pears, good; peaches, good; grapes, good. No 

 damage from frosts as yet. There has been more interest taken in 

 the care of apple orchards, both in pruning and spraying; the 

 effects are plain to be seen in both quantity and quality of crops. 



Montague (A. M. Lyman). — The com crop will be about 90 per 

 cent of normal; the past month has brought about a wonderful 

 change. The rowen crop is fairly good and on new mowings it is 

 cutting an extra good crop. Fall feed is quite good. The amount 

 of fall seeding done is fully up to the average, much having been 

 done in the corn; at present it is in fine condition. There is about 

 an average onion crop, but the price is low, hardly 50 cents per 

 bushel. Potatoes are not quite up to normal, but late ones are 

 coming on well; the quality of potatoes is very good. The prospect 

 for root crops is fairly good; for celery, extra good; for other 

 late market-garden crops, good, as they are coming along better 

 than usual. Fruit, yield : apples, much above the average ; pears.
