usual amount of fall seeding has been done and the present out- 

 look is encouraging. Onions are about three-fourths of a normal 

 crop. Potatoes are below the normal in yield and of fair quality, 

 but with much rot. The prospect is favorable for root crops, 

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

 than usual. Apples and cranberries uneven in yield ; pears good ; 

 grapes poor. 



West Bridgewater (C. P. Howard). — Corn is a very poor crop, 

 not half a normal one. Rowen is a very heavy crop. There has 

 been a large amount of fall seeding done and it is doing well. 

 Potatoes are rotting badly on rich land and the quality is best 

 where only fertilizers are used. Root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops are doing very well. There is a light crop of 

 apples ; no peaches ; plenty of pears ; small crop of grapes, and 

 but a light crop of cranberries. 



Pembroke (Nathaniel Morton). — Indian corn is below a nor- 

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

 as much fall seeding as usual has been done, but it is in fair con- 

 dition. Onions compare favorably with a normal crop. The yield 

 of potatoes is fair, but quality poor and they are inclined to rot. 

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

 garden crops. Apples a small crop and poor in quality ; pears 

 abundant ; no peaches ; grapes a small crop ; cranberries a fair 

 crop. 



Plympton (Winthrop Fillebrown) . — Indian corn is about 65 

 per cent of a normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are better than 

 usual. About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and 

 the showing is good. The onion crop is very good. Potatoes are 

 giving a normal yield where they came up well. The prospect is 

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

 are fair ; pears good ; peaches poor ; grapes very few. Cran- 

 berries have turned out in excellent shape on bogs protected from 

 late spring frosts. 



Carver (J. A. Vaughan). — Rowen and fall feed are up to the 

 usual avei'age. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done 

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

 have made an average yield but show some rot. The prospect is 

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

 But few apples and pears ; no peaches and a small crop of cran- 

 berries. 



Mattapoisett (E. C. Stetson). — Indian corn will not give over 

 two-thirds of a normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are better than 

 the usual average. There has been very little seeding done as yet 

 in this section. Onions are a very good crop, but are little raised.
