Groveland (A. S. Longfellow). — Indian corn will be about 

 half a crop of poor quality. Rowen and fall feed are as good or 

 better than usual. About the usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and it is in satisfactory condition. Potatoes yield 

 well but are rotting badly. Root crops are looking well. There 

 are very few fall apples, but about half a crop of winter varieties ; 

 some pears ; no peaches or grapes. 



Newbury (Geo. W.Adams). — Indian corn is about 75 per cent 

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

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done but is a little 

 backward, as many fields were sown late. Onions are about half 

 a crop. Potatoes are a fair crop, but are rotting quite badly. 

 Root crops, celery and late market-garden crops will be somewhat 

 below the average. Apples 25 per cent of a full crop ; pears 75 

 per cent ; peaches a failure ; grapes not ripening and crop small ; 

 cranberries not quite an average and uneven, some beds doing 

 well. 



Rowley (D. H. O'Brien). — Corn is about half a normal crop. 

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

 seeding has been done as yet. Onions are about one-fourth of a 

 normal crop. The yield of potatoes is about normal, but the 

 quality is poor. Apples are about half a crop ; other fruits very 

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

 garden crops is about normal. 



Andover (M. H. Gould). — Indian corn is about 20 per cent 

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

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and its present 

 condition is good. Onions are about half a crop. Yield of pota- 

 toes good, but many report rot. The prospect is good for root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. Fruit of all 

 kinds has turned out very poorly. 



Wenham (N. P. Perkins). — Indian corn is but little raised. 

 Rowen is quite good on well manured fields, and fall feed is fair. 

 Farmers are quite late about fall seeding, and considerable is not 

 yet done, with none up as yet. The onion crop is very short with 

 many fields an entire failure and the rest curing down very slowly. 

 Potatoes are rotting very badly, some fields almost a failure ; extra 

 crop promised but for rot. If the season should hold out well 

 some root crops will be much improved, but as a whole they will 

 be light. Apples are a disappointment, being quite small and 

 dropping badly ; pears are good ; no cranberries or peaches.
