this year. A majority of our farmers raise some poultry, and get 

 good results from it. 



Berkley (R. H. Babbitt). — Indian corn is very backward, 

 and will not make more than half an average crop. Rowen is 

 full jUp to an average crop. Late potatoes will not be a very 

 good crop, as they are rotting badly. Apples light ; pears plenty ; 

 no peaches ; grapes few ; cranberries much below the average. 

 Pastures are in very good condition. Oats and barley are a little 

 less than average crops. Not more than one in ten of our farmers 

 gives poultry the care it should have for good results. 



Sivansea (F. G. Arnold). — Corn is about two weeks late, but 

 looks very fair, and with hot weather will be all right There 

 will be about a normal crop of rowen. Yield of late potatoes fair, 

 but both blight and rot have appeared in fields not sprayed to pre- 

 vent them. Few apples; no peaches; pears and grapes quite 

 plenty. Pastures are in good condition. Oats were a good crop. 

 A very small proportion of our farmers give poultry the care it 

 should have for good results. 



Dartmouth (L. T. Davis). — Indian corn is still below its nor- 

 mal condition at this time of year. Rowen will perhaps be half 

 or two-thirds of a normal crop. Late potatoes do not promise 

 very well, and show some rot. Apples 40 per cent of a full crop ; 

 pears 20 per cent ; no peaches ; grapes 65 per cent. Pasturage 

 is still in good condition. Oats and barley are mainly raised for 

 forage crops. Perhaps half our farmers give poultry the care it 

 should have for good results. 



Acushnet (M. S. Douglas). — Indian corn is about two weeks 

 late. Rowen will be a normal crop. Late potatoes have been 

 struck by blight, no rot as yet. Apples are scarce; no peaches or 

 grapes; pears plentiful. Pasturage is in fairly good condition. 

 Oats are extra good. About half our farmers give poultry the care 

 it should have for good results. 



PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Norwell (H. A. Turner). — Indian corn is very backward. 

 Rowen is probably an average crop on land that was mowed early. 

 Some fields of potatoes appear to be blighted. Apples are a short 

 crop ; peaches and grapes a failure ; pears good ; cranberries pretty 

 fair. Pasturage is in very good condition. Oats and barley are 

 about average crops. Very few give poultry the care it should 

 have for good results. 



Brockton (Davis Copeland). — Corn is late, but some fields 

 show good growth of stalks. With the frequent showers we are 

 having, rowen is looking well. The prospect for late potatoes is
