Fairhaven (F. C. Lyon). — Indian corn in good condition; 

 color good ; no silos. Hay crop about as last year ; quality very 

 good. Hungarian is the favorite substitute for hay ; condition 

 very good. Half the potatoes planted will amount to nothing, 

 while early planted ones will be a two-thirds crop. Prospect for 

 apples good. Pastures are nearly all dried up. Rye has been a 

 splendid crop. 



PLYMOUTH . COUNTY. 



BrocTcton (Davis Copeland). — Corn in good condition; most 

 of it will be used for ensilage. Hay was a little below the aver- 

 age. Fodder corn is in good condition and barley will be sown 

 soon. Market garden crops are average, with the prices low. 

 Early potatoes are a light crop. The prospect for apples, pears, 

 grapes and cranberries is fair. Pasturage is very short. 



Hinglmm (Aaron Low) . — Very little Indian corn grown. Hay 

 was not more than three-fourths of a crop. Fodder corn and Hun- 

 garian are being raised to supplement the hay crop, and are in good 

 condition. Market garden crops are very poor, being badly injured 

 by drought. Apples are good ; cranberries hurt badly by frost. 

 Pasturage is very short and badly dried up. Rye is a very good 

 crop. 



MarsJifield (J. H. Bourne). — Potato bugs and onion maggots 

 are the most troublesome. Corn is in excellent condition ; one- 

 fourth will be put in the silo. Hay was a three-fourths crop se- 

 cured in fine condition. Fodder corn, oats and Hungarian are 

 raised to supplement the hay crop ; fodder corn looks well, but 

 the others are light. Market garden crops are in very poor con- 

 dition, and early potatoes bring only three-fourths of last year's 

 price. Apples and pears are abundant ; peaches below average ; 

 grapes and cranberries less than half a crop. Pastures are un- 

 usually poor. Rye excellent ; oats a two-thirds crop. 



Halifax (G. W. Hayward). — Corn is in fair condition; no 

 silos. The hay crop was about average in quantity and quality. 

 Fodder corn is the main crop for summer feed, but some barley 

 and millet is sown. The yield of market garden crops is poor and 

 prices poorer. There are some apples and cranberries, but no 

 peaches, pears or grapes. Pasturage is all dried up. Rye good ; 

 oats raised for fodder fair ; barley raised only for fodder light. 



Kingston (J. H. Cushman). — Potato bugs are most trouble- 

 some. Indian corn is very backward ; not one-tenth will be put 

 into the silo. Hay was about an average crop of fine quality. 

 Corn is used for forage ; condition rather poor. Market garden
