Bolton (H. F. Haynes). — Indian corn is about 25 per cent of 

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

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

 well. Onions are about half a crop. Potatoes are a three-fourths 

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

 garden crops are little grown. Apples 5 per cent; cranberries 

 small yield, possibly half a crop ; grapes good ; no peaches and 

 few pears. 



Worcester (S. A. Burgess). — Corn is about one-fourth of a 

 normal crop. Rowen is a little above the usual average, as is 

 also fall feed. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done 

 and it is in good condition. Onions are a fair crop. Potatoes 

 are about a two-thirds crop. The prospect is fair for root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops. Apples half a crop ; 

 pears a two-thirds crop ; peaches one-fourth ; grapes fair. The 

 warm weather of the month has improved most crops. 



3Iillhury (Herbert McCracken) . — Indian corn is not over one- 

 third of an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the 

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

 and it is making rapid growth. Onions are from 70 to 80 per 

 cent of a normal crop. Potatoes are an average yield of excel- 

 lent quality, but are rotting somewhat. The prospect for root 

 crops is good. Apples are only one-third of an average crop since 

 the heavy rain and wind storm ; pears a light crop ; no peaches ; 

 few grapes ; heavy crop of cranberries. 



Oxford (D. M. Howe). — Corn is not an average crop, as it is 

 very late. Rowen is above the usual average, and fall feed fully 

 up to it. Fall seeding is looking well. Onions are not much 

 raised. Potatoes made a good yield, but are rotting badly. Root 

 crops promise fairly well, and celery looks well. Apples are a 

 very poor crop ; pears fair ; peaches, grapes and cranberries all 

 scarce. Farmers are getting high prices for butter, milk, eggs 

 and pork, and also especially for sweet corn if good. 



Mendon (J. J. Nutter). — Indian corn is below an average 

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

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is looking 

 well. Onions are not much grown. Potatoes made a very good 

 yield and are of good quality if sound, but are rotting badly. The 

 prospect for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 is very good. There is a very light crop of all fruits except pears. 



Blackstone (O. F. Fuller) . — Indian corn is backward and frost 

 has damaged some fields. Fall feed is up to the usual average and 

 a good crop of rowen has been secured. The usual amount of fall
