The quantity and price of dairy products is about the same as 

 usual. Pastures are in good condition. Strawberries are a failure ; 

 raspberries above the average. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell). — Onion maggots and potato bugs 

 are doing some damage. Corn is not looking well, on account of 

 cold, wet weather ; acreage about the same as last year. Haying 

 has hardly commenced, and the crop is light. The acreage of 

 forage crops will not be much increased. Acreage of early potatoes 

 about as usual, but they are not looking well. Market-garden 

 crops are much below the average. Dairy products are about 

 average in quantity and price. Pastures are looking fairly well. 

 Strawberries a failure ; cranberries looking fairly well, although 

 somewhat damaged by frost. 



Brewster (T. D. Sears). — Indian corn is looking quite well, 

 and the acreage is rather increased. The hay crop will be very 

 short. There will be no increase in the acreage of forage crops. 

 There is about the usual acreage of potatoes, and the crop promises 

 to be good. The quantity and price of dairy products are about 

 the same as in former years. Pasturage is very poor, but the 

 recent rains are bringing it up. Cranberries are about the only 

 berries grown for market, and the outlook is not good, on account 

 of the late frosts. 



Chatham (E. Z. Ryder). — Insects are doing very little dam- 

 age at present. Corn in very backward, with a smaller acreage 

 than usual. The hay crop will be a failure upon uplands. The 

 acreage of forage crops will be somewhat increased. Market- 

 garden crops are backward, with poor prospects in yield. The 

 acreage of early potatoes is larger than usual, but the crop will be 

 light. Dairy products are much the same as usual in quantity and 

 price. Pastures are very much dried up. Strawberries were a 

 small crop ; blackberries and raspberries look well ; gooseberries 

 a fair crop. 



Welljleet (E. S. Jacobs). — Tent caterpillars are doing some 

 damage. The drought has destroyed the corn crop in this locality. 

 The hay crop is very poor, except on low lands. The acreage of 

 forage crops will be increased. The rains of the past week have 

 been of great benefit to early potatoes. Early market-garden crops 

 are a failure, on account of drought. Prices are good for dairy 

 cows. Strawberries are a failure, owing to the damp weather just 

 when they were ripening ; all other fruit promises well.
