is not very good. Apples an extra heavy crop ; cranberries nearly 

 a failure. 



Worcester (S. A. Burgess). — Indian corn about 10 per cent 

 above an average crop. Roweu and fall feed are very poor. The 

 average amount of fall seeding has been done and is just coming 

 up, being late owing to drought. Onions not an average crop 

 owing to drought. Potatoes a fair yield but badly injured by 

 scab. The prospect for root crops is fair if we have plenty of 

 rain soon. Apple crop good, not yet gathered ; cranberries a small 

 crop. 



Grafton (S. E. Stowe). — Corn is fully an average crop. Pas- 

 turage short and rowen not more than half a crop. Owing to dry 

 weather but little fall seeding has been done, and shows but little 

 growth. Onions are a light crop owing to the dry weather. Po- 

 tatoes did well on moist land but were a failure on dry land. The 

 root crop is growing nicely since the rain. Apples an average 

 crop. 



Upton (B. A. Jourdan) . — Indian corn a very good crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed not up to the usual average. The average amount of 

 fall seeding has been done and is looking very well. Potatoes 

 short in yield but of very good quality. Apple trees on high land 

 are full and the fruit never looked finer. 



Douglas (T. M. Potter) . — Indian corn is very nearly an aver- 

 age crop. There is very little rowen and fall feed indeed. About 

 the average amount of fall seeding has been done ; condition good. 

 Potatoes are an average crop in yield and quality. The prospect 

 for root crops is poor. Apples a good crop. 



MIDDLESEX COUNTY. 



Oroton (Daniel Needham). — Indian corn compares very well 

 with an average crop. Roweu and fall feed not up to the usual 

 average. Fall seeding has improved wonderfully during the past 

 week, but the average amount has not been done. Potatoes are 

 an average crop in yield and quality. The prospect for root crops 

 is fairly good. Apples & very good crop. Rain and warm weather 

 have marvellously helped fall feed. Those farmers who took the 

 chances and did their seeding find the result excellent. 



Littleton (Geo. W. Sanderson). — Corn an average crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed not up to the usual average. Fall seeding is 

 behindhand owing to the dry weather and the pressing demand for 

 gathering the apple crop. Onions average in yield. Potatoes 

 hardly a full crop. The prospect for root crops is very good. 

 Apples an excellent crop ; cranberries light.
