Holland (Francis Wight). — Indian corn will be a very light 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are hardly up to the average. About 

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

 good condition. Onions are rather small in size and below a nor- 

 mal crop. Potatoes show a good yield but are rotting badly on 

 some fields. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops is fairly good. Apples, peaches and grapes 

 small crops ; pears and cranberries better. 



WORCESTER COUNTY. 



Warren (W. E, Patrick). — Indian corn is not over ten per 

 cent of a normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are about up to the 

 usual average. Less fall seeding has been done than usual, but it 

 is in very good condition. Potatoes are above the normal in 

 yield and better in quality than for many years. There is a fair 

 crop of apples for an ofif year ; pears average crop ; no peaches ; 

 few grapes ; no cranberries. 



Brookjield (F. E. Prodty). — Indian corn is not over half a 

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

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

 dition. But few onions are raised in this locality. Potatoes are 

 a normal crop in yield and of good quality. The prospect for root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops is good. Apples 

 are about a one-fourth crop ; pears about half a crop ; very few 

 peaches ; grapes not more than half a crop ; no cranberries. 



New Braintree (C. D. Sage). — Corn is the poorest crop for 

 years, a few fair crops, but much of it will not mature. The first 

 crop of hay was cut so late that but little rowen will be cut and 

 pastures are hardly up to the average. Fall seeding is being done 

 the last week in September. The yield of potatoes is good, but 

 there is much complaint of rot. Root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops are very little grown. Apples half a crop ; 

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



Oakham (Jesse Allen). — Indian corn is almost a total failure. 

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

 amount of fall seeding has been done and it looks well. Potatoes 

 are a full average crop in yield and quality. Root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops are little raised. Very few 

 apples and pears ; no peaches or grapes. 



Dana (Lyman Randall) . — The warm September has been 

 favorable for corn and it will be about half a crop. Rowen and 

 fall feed are up to the usual average. There has been the usual
