AcusJmet (M. S. Douglass). — Indian corn is a normal crop. 

 Rowen is up to the average, and fall feed is in good shape. Not 

 much fall seeding has been done, but its present condition is good. 

 Very few onions raised here. In yield, potatoes are not up to 

 normal; in quality, good. Root crops offer a good prospect, as do 

 other garden crops. Fruit, yield: apples, fair; pears, fair; peaches 

 and grapes, scarce; cranberries, good. Fruit, quality: apples, fair; 

 peaches, fail-; grapes, good. No frost damage. An awakened 

 interest is shown in better methods of apple growing, and this has 

 been made manifest in better and more fruit. There has been more 

 Indian corn raised here for two years past, and most of it goes to 

 the silo. 



PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Campello (Davis Copeland). — About an average crop of Indian 

 corn will be harvested. The rowen crop is about 90 per cent of 

 the usual average. Fall feed is rather short. The usual amount of 

 fall seeding has been done, and its present condition is fairly good. 

 Not many onions raised. Potatoes are good in yield as well as in 

 quality. The prospect for root crops is quite good; celery, good; 

 for other late market-garden crops, fairly good. Fruit, yield : 

 apples, about an average; pears, 20 per cent; peaches, not many 

 raised; grapes and cranberries, good. No frosts. A slight awaken- 

 ing of interest in modern orcharding is showing good results. 



Bridgewater (R. Cass). — Corn is not more than an average 

 crop, with some pieces not ready to cut. Very little rowen has 

 been cut, and the crop is much below the average. Fall feed is 

 above the usual quantity. Fall seeding is below an average in 

 amount done; it is too early to report upon condition. Early 

 potatoes were below the average in yield; late potatoes are a good 

 crop; quality is good. Root crops are growing fast, with prospect 

 of good yields. Late cabbage will need a favorable October in 

 which to develop, that it may be called a good crop. Fruit, yield: 

 apples, below ; pears, small crop ; peaches, light ; grapes, good ; cran- 

 berries, very good. Fruit, quality: apples, below normal; pears, 

 good; peaches, good; grapes, very good; cranberries, fair. No 

 frost damage. Orchards in general are in a neglected condition. 



Halifax (Mrs. George W. Haywood). — The crop of Indian corn 

 is very good, — better than common. Rowen is not up to the average ; 

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

 its pi-esent condition is very good. The onion crop is better than the 

 average. There is a large crop of potatoes, of good quality. Tur- 

 nips and beets are good crops. Fruit, yield : apples, none to 

 speak of; cranberries, fair. Fruit, quality: grapes and cranberries, 

 good. Some frost damaged corn slightly. There is an increased 

 interest in modern apple growing.
