quality otherwise good. Root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops will be almost a failure. There are a few apples and 

 some pears ; other fruits a failure. 



Leyden (U. T. Darling). — Indian corn is a very poor crop, 

 the poorest for years. Rowen and fall feed are very much better 

 than usual. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and 

 is looking well. Potatoes made a good yield of good quality, but 

 are rotting very badly. The prospect for root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops is very good. Fruit of all kinds is 

 very light. 



Gill (F. F. Stoughton). — Indian corn is less than an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Onions 

 are not raised. Potatoes made a good yield but are rotting some- 

 what. There will be but a light yield of all kinds of fruit. 



Shelburne (Geo. E. Tatlor). — There will not be over half or 

 at most two-thirds of a normal crop of corn. Rowen and fall feed 

 are in good condition. The usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done and it is in good condition. Potatoes yield well and are of 

 superior quality. No pears nor peaches ; a few grapes ; apples 

 short and poor in color and will not sell very high. 



Ashfield (Chas. Howes). — Although there has been no frost as 

 yet but little corn will mature. Rowen and fall feed are above 

 average crops. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done 

 and is looking finely. Potatoes are a good crop and are of good 

 quality, but are rotting badly. The prospect for root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops is very good. Apples are of 

 very good quality, but are a light crop. The hay and grass crops 

 are about the only ones in this vicinity that are up to the average. 



Whately (Frank Dickinson). — Indian corn is less than an 

 average crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. 

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is looking 

 finely. Onions are less than a normal crop. Potatoes are a good 

 crop in yield and quality, but show some rot. Apples are about 

 half a crop. 



Sunderland (J. M. J. Legate). — Very little corn has been 

 cut and there is little of the crop that will ripen. Rowen is a 

 very heavy crop, much above the average and fall feed is in good 

 condition. Seeding is mostly done in corn and is looking finely. 

 Onions are a very poor crop as almost all fields have blighted and 

 they are not curing down well. Potatoes are above the average 

 in yield and quality where they have not rotted, but there is some 

 complaint of rot. Root crops, celery and late market-garden 

 crops promise to be fully up to the average. Apples are a light 

 crop ; no peaches and but few pears and grapes. Tobacco is all
