Westford (J. W. Fletcher). — Indian corn is a very poor crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Not much fall 

 seeding has been done as yet. Potatoes are rather below the 

 normal in yield but are of good quality. The prospect is good for 

 all kinds of fruit. 



Dunstable (A. J. Gilson). — The corn crop is away below the 

 normal. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. Very 

 little fall seeding has been done as fall work is behind at this 

 time. The onion crop is light. Potatoes are an uneven crop, on 

 some farms more than normal and on others very light ; rot has 

 appeared on nearly all fields, but otherwise the quality is good. 

 The few root crops raised promise well. Apples are a light crop ; 

 no pears or peaches ; grapes and cranberries few. 



TeioJcsbury (Geo. E. Crosby). — Indian corn will be about one- 

 third of a normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual 

 average. The usual amount or fall seeding has been done and is 

 in good condition. Yield of onions not quite normal but quality 

 good. Potatoes are below the normal in yield and quality owing 

 to rot. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops is very good. There will be very light yields of all 

 kinds of fruit. 



Billerica (Geo. P. Greenwood) . — Indian corn is very late and 

 below the average in promise. Rowen and fall feed are up to the 

 usual average. Onions are below the average in yield. Potatoes 

 are less than an average crop and are rotting. The prospect is 

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

 Fruits of all kinds are very poor crops, with the exception of pears 

 and cranberries, which are fair. 



Carlisle (E. J. Carr). — Corn is a very poor crop and did not 

 ear out well. Rowen and fall feed are about average. Very little 

 fall seeding has been done as yet and it is in poor condition. 

 Onions are little raised. Potatoes made a fair yield of good 

 quality, with some rot. Root crops generally will make a poor 

 yield. Apples few ; no pears, peaches or grapes ; very small 

 yield of cranberries. 



Lincoln (C. S. Wheeler). — What corn there is will be 40 per 

 cent below the normal in yield. Rowen and fall feed are up to 

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

 been done, but it is in fair condition. Onions are an average crop. 

 Potatoes are a three-fourths crop of fair quality, except that there 

 is some rot. The prospect is fair for root crops, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops. Apples are a small crop of poor 

 quality ; pears average ; grapes short ; cranberries below average.
