DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tishury (George Hunt Luce). — Indian coi-n is an aver- 

 age crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Very 

 little fall seeding has been done. Very few onions raised. Potatoes 

 are of good quality, but about 70 per cent of a full crop. Prospect 

 for root crops is very good. Fruit, yield : apples and pears, aver- 

 age; peaches, much below average; grapes, average; cranberries, 

 below average. Fruit, quality: apples, good; pears, fair; peaches, 

 poor; grapes, fair. No frost damage. Very little interest is mani- 

 fested in modern methods of pruning and the general care of the 

 apple orchard.
