DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tishury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Potato bugs and rose bugs 

 are doing some damage. Acreage of Indian corn about average, 

 but the weather is too cold and wet for its growth. Prospect for 

 hay crop fair, but haying has not begun. The acreage of forage 

 crops will be increased to some extent. Quantity and price of 

 dairy products above average ; cows high and scarce. Pastures 

 are in good condition. Strawberries poor; other fruit promises 

 well.
