 excellent condition. Fruits and berries are not grown for market. 



Peru (F. G. Creamer). — Potato bugs are doing some damage. Corn 

 is looking well, with about the usual acreage. Grass looks finely, and 

 the prospects are that there will be a large crop of hay. The acreage 

 of forage crops will not be increased. There is more than an average 

 acreage of early potatoes and they are looking well. Butter fat is 

 selling for three cents a pound above the price last year; good cows

 fourth. The prospect for the hay crop is good. The acreage of forage 

 crops will be increased in this locality. There is no change in the acre- 

 age of early potatoes and they are looking well. The quantity and price 

 of dairy products and supply and price of dairy cows are about normal.

Savoy (W. W. Burnett). — Potato bugs are very prevalent. Corn 

 looks fairly well, but was mostly late planted, and is consequently 

 small for the season. Haying has not begun, but it is expected that the 

 crop will be light. There is about the usual acreage of forage crops. 

 There is an increased acreage of early potatoes and they are now looking 

 fairly well. Quantity and price of dairy cows and supply and price of 

 dairy products fully average with former years. Pastures are in fine 

 condition and there is a surplus of feed. Not much is done here with 

 fruits and berries.

 dairy products and supply and price of dairy cows are about the same

 berries are in very good shape. Hay on new land is good, but old 

 mowings are very poor. 



Leyden (U. T. Darlixg). — There is but Uttle damage from insects 

 as yet. Indian corn is looking well, but is small; acreage about the same 

 as usual. But little haying has been done. The acreage of forage crops 

 will not be much increased. Early market-garden crops are looking 

 well and bring good prices; prospect good for later ones. Cows are a 

 little lower in price, also dairy products. Pasturage is in good condi- 

 tion. Strawberries are doing well, and raspberries promise well.
