Not a third of our farmers give poultry the care it should have for 

 good results. 



Bolton (H. F. Haynes). — ludiau corn is in very poor condi- 

 tion. Rowen will be a full normal crop. Late potatoes will be a 

 small crop ; blight has appeared on some fields ; no rot as yet. 

 There are very few apples and no cranberries or peaches. Pastures 

 are in good condition. Oats and barley were all cut for hay, and 

 were rather light croi)S. Very few if any of our farmers give 

 poultry the care it should have for good results. The hay crop is 

 the heaviest for years. 



Holden (G. S. Graham). — Corn is about half a crop, but looks 

 better than earlier in the season. The prospect for the rowen crop 

 is very good. The prospect for potatoes is not as good as usual, 

 and blight has appeared. Apples seem to be plenty ; no peaches 

 or grapes. Pasturage is in as good condition as usual for the time 

 of year. Oats and barley are better crops than for the last two 

 years. Only a small proportion of our farmers give poultry the 

 care it should have for good results. 



Northboroi/gh (.1. K. Mills). — Corn is very uneven, and it 

 looks as though there would be a small crop. There will be a 

 good crop of rowen. There will not be a large crop of potatoes, 

 and there is some blight and rot. There will be a fair crop of 

 apples, pears and grapes, but no peaches. Pastures have been 

 very good and are holding out well. There was a good crop of 

 oats. Ninety per cent of our farmers give poultry the care it 

 should have for good results. 



SoiUhborough (E. F. Collins). — Indian corn is very late, but 

 early fields are earing out well. There will be more than an aver- 

 age crop of rowen. Early potatoes are a good crop, but show 

 blight somewhat. Apples are a good crop ; more Baldwins than 

 last year. Pasturage is in the best eondition for years. About 

 half of our farmers give poultry the care it should have for good 

 results. 



Auburn (Wm. Gilbert). — Indian corn is very light, but is 

 growing very rapidly now. Rowen is a good crop, far above the 

 average. Late potatoes yield well ; some blight and rot. Apples, 

 pears and grapes are fair crops. Pastures were never better at 

 this time of year, but are getting short now. Oats and barley are 

 about 80 per cent of average crops. About half our farmers give 

 poultry the care it should have for good results. 



Sutton (C. P. King). — Indian corn is poor and very backward. 

 Rowen is starting well, except on some newly seeded fields. Late 

 potatoes are a good crop, with no rot as yet. Apples fair; no 

 peaches ; cranberries good. Pasturage is good and green. Oats
