Medfield (Geo. R. Chase). — Indian corn is three-fourths of 

 an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are not more than 25 per 

 cent of the average. Not the average amount of fall seeding done, 

 and what has been done is backward. Potatoes not a full crop; 

 quality 70 per cent. Prospect for root crops poor. Apples a full 

 crop ; cranberries a failure. 



Cohasset (E. E. Ellms). — Indian corn is about three-fourths 

 of a crop. Rowen and fall feed not up to the usual average. 

 Less than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done. The 

 onion crop is a full average. Potatoes are not an average crop. 

 The prospect for root crops is not very good. Apples are plenty 

 and cranberries scarce. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Mansfield (Wm. C. Winter). — Indian corn 20 per cent below 

 the average. The late rains are improving the pastures ; no rowen. 

 Not enough fall seeding done here to amount to anything. What 

 onions are grown have not done well because of drought. Early 

 potatoes almost a total failure ; late planted about an average crop. 

 Mangolds looking fairly well ; turnips generally poor, owing to 

 drought. Fall apples plenty ; winter apples dropped badly, but 

 will be a fair crop ; cranberries below average. 



Attlehorougli (Isaac Alger). — Indian corn about an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed nearly up to the usual average. The 

 average amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in fair con- 

 dition. Potatoes are less than an average crop, but the quality is 

 good. The prospect for root crops is good. Cranberries a one- 

 fourth crop ; apples a two-thirds crop. 



Baynham (N. W. Shaw). — Corn not half a crop. There is 

 but little rowen or fall feed. About the usual amount of fall seed- 

 ing has been clone, but it is not as early as usual and has not grown 

 much. Potatoes a small crop of good quality. The prospect for 

 root crops is not very good. Apples are very plenty and very 

 good, but the cranberry crop is small. 



Somerset (Joseph Gibbs). — Indian corn a three-fourths crop. 

 Rowen not 10 per cent of a full crop. The average amount of fall 

 seeding has been done, but the condition is not promising. Onions 

 40 per cent of a full crop ; injured by the drought. Potatoes half 

 a crop of good quality. The prospect for root crops is poor. 

 Apples a fine crop ; no cranberries. Crops of all kinds are short, 

 and prices unusually low. 



Westport (A. S. Sherman). — Corn very good; better than an 

 average. Rowen and fall feed not up to the usual average. It 

 has been so dry that but little seeding has been done, and what
