NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Randolph (R. A. Thayer). — Indian corn is about half a normal 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are np to the usual average. About 

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

 well. Onions are about an average crop. Potatoes are au excel- 

 lent crop, but are rotting badly. Root crops are promising and 

 celery good ; late corn poor. Market-garden crops have been good 

 with some exceptions and have brought good prices. Squashes 

 a poor crop ; tomatoes not ripening as usual. Apples one-third 

 of a crop ; pears good ; no peaches and grapes. 



Stoughton (C. F. Curtis). — Indian corn is about half a crop. 

 Fall feed is up to the average, but rowen is only about two-thirds 

 of an average crop. Fall seeding is behind from the press of 

 work owing to the peculiar season. Potatoes yielded heavily, but 

 the rot will spoil half of them. Apples half a crop; pears half a 

 crop ; peaches very poor ; grapes half a crop and cranberries one- 

 third. 



Westwood (H. E. Weatherbee). — Corn is two weeks late and 

 not filled out well. Rowen and fall feed are better than usual. 

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

 looking well. Onions are a normal crop. Potatoes have rotted 

 badly and are not of very good quality. Cabbages are not looking 

 very well. There is a good crop of pears and grapes. 



Norfolk (A. D. Towne). — We have not a field of corn where 

 the ears have matured. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual 

 average. Seeding is not all done yet, but what has been done 

 looks very well. Potatoes are about au average crop in yield and 

 quality. Root crops will generally be good. Apples are small and 

 wormy ; pears light crop ; no peaches ; cranberries a good crop, 

 but not colored well. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). —Indian corn is 90 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 and it looks very well. 

 Potatoes are a good crop in yield and quality, but are rotting 

 somewhat. The prospect is that root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops will be below the average. Apples very, few ; 

 pears light ; no peaches ; grapes few ; cranberries light to medium. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Easton (H. M. Thompson). — Indian corn is much below an 

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

 Weather conditions are favorable to fall seeding and about the
