in with no damage from bail or insects ; there are a few fine crops, 

 but much of it is small and yellow ; no pole sweat as yet. 



We7idell (N. D. Plumb). — Indian corn is about half a normal 

 crop and but little has been cut as yet. Rowen will be about a 

 normal crop ; pastures are in fine condition. But little fall seed- 

 ing has been done as yet. Potatoes made a fair yield, but are 

 rotting badly in field and cellar. The prospect for root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops is very poor. Apples 

 are about half a crop ; pears abundant ; peaches and other fruits a 

 failure. 



Northjielcl (Thos. R. Callender). — Less than half the corn 

 crop will make sound corn. Rowen and fall feed are rather above 

 average crops. Less than the usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done at the present time, but is looking fairly well. Few 

 onions are grown but they are fully up to the normal. Potatoes 

 made a fair yield but are rotting badly. Root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops are looking well. Apples are a 

 light crop. Cucumbers for pickling were a partial failure. To- 

 bacco is below the average. 



Orange (A. C. White). — The late warm weather has greatly 

 helped ensilage corn, but that grown for grain is about a failure. 

 Rowen is a fine crop and was secured in fine shape. Potatoes gave 

 a normal yield, with but little rot. When apples are harvested 

 there will be about enough for the home market ; other fruits 

 scarce. 



HAMPSHIRE COUNTY. 



Greenwich (Wm. S. Douglas). — Indian corn is not up to a 

 normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are in good condition. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in good con- 

 dition. Potatoes made a good yield, but there is much complaint 

 of their rotting. Apples, pears, peaches and grapes will give very 

 light crops. 



Pelham (J. L. Brewer). — Corn is a very uneven crop, but has 

 improved greatly during the past month. Rowen and fall feed 

 are up to the usual average. There has been but little fall seeding 

 done and it is not advanced enough to report on. There is a fair 

 crop of potatoes of good quality, with some complaint of rot. 

 Root crops promise well ; celery is late. There are a few apples 

 of second quality and some pears, but peaches and grapes are very 

 scarce. 



Amherst (Wm. P. Brooks). — Ensilage corn is about two-thirds 

 of the normal ; field corn one-half ; numerous complete failures. 

 Rowen is much above the average and fall feed is good. The
