 principal forage crop grown. Potatoes promise to be a good crop.

 Oats are somewhat rusty. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (H. G. Worth). — Potato bugs are doing some damage. 

 Corn is looking finely; no silos in this county. The hay crop is good, 

 but wet weather has injured the quality. Oats and fodder corn are the 

 principal forage crops grown. All market-garden crops are looking 

 finely and bringing good prices. Pastures were never in better condi- 

 tion. Oats are the only grain raised in any amount and have rusted 

 somewhat on account of so much wet weather.
