Falmouth (D. R. Wicks). — Indian corn about an average crop. 

 Very little rowen cut. Fall seeding about completed. Onions 

 only a two-thirds crop, because of drought. Potatoes a two-thirds 

 crop ; quality good. Prospect for root crops good. Apples about 

 a one-third crop ; Baldwins the only kind.

 crop. Rowen is about a failure. Very little fall seeding done. 

 Onion crop small, because of dry weather. Potatoes about a one- 

 third crop, of good quality. Root crops all very light. Apple crop 

 nearly a failure.

 age crop. Rowen not up to the average. Very little fall seeding 

 done, because of drought. Onion crop very light ; the maggots 

 destroyed a number of fields. Potatoes not an average crop. 

 Roots will be small crops ; the turnip is the principal root grown ; 

 late plantings did not come up. Apple crop very small. The 

 cranberry crop is an average one, and probably three-fourths of 

 the crop is harvested.

 crop. Rowen not an average. Very little fall seeding done.

 crop better than last year, but not quite so good as it promised.

 not up to the average ; turnips principal crop raised. Apples a 

 light crop.
