NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Cohasset (E. E. Ellms). — Hay crop better than last year and 

 secured in splendid condition. Early potatoes have not yielded 

 well ; price $2 per bushel. The prospect for late potatoes and 

 apples is very poor. Rye crop about the same as last year. The 

 borer is killing cucumber and squash vines Owing to dry weather 

 pastures are very poor and milch cows are fed at the barn. 



Weymouth (H. W. Dyer). — Hay crop larger than last year on 

 low land, but on high land rather light. Large yield of early 

 potatoes. The present rains may save late potatoes, so as to have 

 a large crop. Prospect of a fair apple crop. Pasturage very poor. 



MilUs (E. F. Richardson). — Hay crop better than last year. 

 Early potatoes only about one-half a crop ; price $1 per bushel. 

 Late potatoes promise poorly, especially on high land. Prospect 

 fair for apple crop. Pastures are drying up. 



Medtvay (M. Morse). — Wire worms have seriously injured my 

 €orn. Think hay crop less in quantity than last year, but fully as 

 good in quality. The crop of early potatoes will be small, and 

 the prospect is that late potatoes will be poor, owing to the hot, 

 dry weather. Fruit has dropped badly and the apple crop will be 

 light. Pastures are dried up. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). — Hay crop larger than last year 

 and of equally as good quality. Yield of early potatoes light ; 

 price SI to $1.25 per bushel. Prospect of a medium crop of apples. 

 Pastures dried up except on very wet ground. Rye crop better 

 than last year. Nearly every field of corn is more or less rolled up 

 and millet is asking for water, and we think these two plants stand 

 drought best of any. 



Norfolk (J. "W. Hinkley). — About an average crop of hay. 

 Fair yield of early potatoes. Prospect for late potatoes poor. 

 Apples promise to be generally below the average, though some 

 trees are doing very well. Pastures very dry. Dry weather and 

 excessive heat coming just after the cutting of hay is bad for the 

 second crop, and it will probably be light except on wet land. 

 Dry weather has injured almost all crops in this vicinity. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Mansfield (D. E. Harding). — Hay crop very good, but some 

 spoiled by the long spell of bad weather in the early part of the 

 season. Fair yield of early potatoes. Prospect not favorable for 

 late potatoes. vSmall crop of apples. Pastures dry and parched. 

 Rye crop about the same as last year.
