usual amount will be accomplished. Onions are little grown. Po- 

 tatoes have done better than almost any other vegetable, but some 

 complain that they are rotting somewhat after being dug and do 

 not promise to keep very well. The prospect is that root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops will be fair crops, but 

 hardly up to the average. There are very light crops of all fruits. 



Mansfield (Wm. C. Winter). — Corn is below a normal crop, 

 being late and the ears poorly filled out. Rowen is above an 

 average crop and fall feed is about average. Little seeding has 

 been done ; that put in early is doing well, but late sown seeds 

 are lying dormant from drought. Onions little raised, but a nor- 

 mal crop. Potatoes are below the normal in yield, but are of 

 better quality than usual. Prospect is good for root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops with rain. Apples about half 

 a crop ; pears two-thirds ; no peaches ; grapes poor ; cranberries 

 fair, 



Attlehorougli (Isaac Alger). — There will not much corn ma- 

 ture. 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. Potatoes are a full average crop in yield and quality. 

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

 crops is fair. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes and cranberries 

 will all give very small crops. 



Berkley (R. H. Babbitt). — Corn is two weeks late and will be 

 much below the average in yield. Rowen and fall feed are about 

 up to the usual average. Less than the usual amount of fall seed- 

 ing has been done, but it is looking very well. Onions are much 

 below an average crop. Potatoes have yielded well, but have, 

 rotted badly. The prospect is very good for root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops. Apples poor; pears plenty; 

 no peaches ; grapes few ; cranberries an average crop. 



Westport (A. S. Sherman). — On account of the cold season 

 corn is late and a frost would injure it badly. Rowen and fall 

 feed are up to the usual average. The usual amount of fall seed- 

 ing has been done and it looks well. Potatoes are of good quality 

 and the crop would have been large but for the rot. Turnips and 

 cabbages promise well. Pears were plenty but decayed badly ; 

 all other fruit scarce.

Marshfield (J. H. Bourne). — Indian corn is a poor crop, but 

 should frost hold off for ten days it would add materially to the 

 yield. Roweu and fall feed are up to the usual average. The
