Norioood (F. A. Fales). — Indian corn is thirty days late. 

 Rowen will be a good crop. Potato vines are looking well, and 

 do not show blight as yet. There will be a very small crop of 

 apples, and fair crops of pears, grapes and cranberries. Pastures 

 are in first-rate condition. Oats and barley are about three-fourths 

 crops. About a fourth of our farmers give poultry the attention it 

 should have for good results. 



Walpole (E. L. Shepard). — Indian corn is backward. Hay- 

 ing coming so late, rowen is a small crop, but looks well for fall 

 feed. Potatoes look well, and no blight or rot has been noticed. 

 Apples, pears and grapes are half crops ; no peaches ; few cran- 

 berries. Pastures are looking well. Oats and barley are average 

 crops. Perhaps 15 per cent of our farmers give poultry the care 

 it should have for good results. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Corn is very backward. Rowen 

 will be better than an average crop. Blight has appeared on late 

 potatoes. There will be no cranberries, and other fruits will be 

 rather short, except pears. Pasturage is in good condition. Oats 

 and barley are good crops. Half our farmers give poultry the 

 care it should have for good results. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). — Corn will not be an average crop. 

 Rowen will be more than an average crop. The prospect is very 

 good for late potatoes, and neither blight nor rot has appeared. 

 All fruits will give very light yields. Pasturage is in excellent 

 condition. Oats and barley are not more than average crops. 

 There are only a few specialists in poultry in this vicinity. Many 

 of our farmers keep a small flock of hens, which have the run of 

 the farm and do well in summer, but they get very few eggs in 

 winter. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Attleborough (Isaac Alger). — Indian corn will give some fod- 

 der, but not much corn. The prospect for rowen is poor. Late 

 potatoes are looking well. Few apples ; pears poor ; no peaches 

 or grapes. Pastures are in good condition. Oats and barley are 

 average crops. One in a hundred of our farmers gives poultry the 

 care it should have for good results. Cranberries were all destroyed 

 by late spring frosts, except where the bogs could be flooded, so 

 the crop is ver}' small this season. 



Norton (Wm. A. Lane). — Corn is looking fairly well now, and 

 will be a fair crop if the season holds out, but is late. Rowen 

 promises to be a very good crop. Neither blight nor rot has 

 appeared on potatoes. Apples will be a very light crop. Pas- 

 tures have been good, and look well now. Oats are a large crop
