usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in nearly per- 

 fect condition. Onions are much below the normal, the crop being 

 thin and late and there being many thick necks. Yield of pota- 

 toes above average ; some rot where not sprayed ; quality good. 

 The prospect is unusually good for roots and celery ; average for 

 all late garden crops. Apples not picked, uneven but many good 

 orchards ; pears average for section ; practically no peaches ; 

 grapes a light crop of good quality. Cutting ensilage corn has not 

 yet been begun but must be soon ; crop still too green for best 

 results. 



Hadley (H. C. Russell) . — Corn is less than half a crop. Rowen 

 was never so good and fall feed is abundant. The usual amount 

 of fall seeding has been done and it is in good condition. The 

 onion crop is the poorest for many years and many acres will be 

 all "picklers." Potatoes yield well, but are rotting. The pros- 

 pect is good for root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 ci'ops. Not many apples and the late high winds still further re- 

 duced the crop. 



Northampton (H. C. Comins). — Indian corn is about a two- 

 thirds crop. Rowen is 25 per cent above the average crop. Most 

 of the seeding is done in corn and is looking finely ; other fall 

 seeding is doing well. Onions are not much more than half a 

 crop, as there is much blight and a large percentage of the crop 

 will never dry down so as to be marketable. The quality of the 

 potato crop is generally good, with rather light yield and some rot. 

 The outlook for root crops and garden crops is poor ; celery very 

 good. There will be a very light crop of apples, pears and grapes. 



Easthampton ( Wm. E. Clapp) . — Indian corn is below an aver- 

 age crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. 

 About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in 

 good condition. Onions are less than an average crop. Potatoes 

 made a normal yield of excellent quality. The prospect for root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops is below the 

 average. Apples, pears and peaches are nearly a failure. Grapes 

 are an average crop. 



Southampton (C. B. Lyman). — Many fields of corn need two 

 weeks of warm weather to ripen and the crop would then be light. 

 Rowen and fall feed are fully up to the usual average. Less than 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done as yet. Onions 

 are about an average crop. The yield of potatoes is very good 

 and the quality extra fine. The prospect for root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops is fair. Apples about one- 

 third of a crop ; pears very few ; no peaches ; grapes fair.
