There will be a good rowen crop. Late potatoes promise well, with 

 no bUght as yet. Apples and pears will be plenty. Pastures are in 

 very good condition. 



Tovmsend (G. A. Wilder). — Indian corn will be an average crop. 

 Sweet corn is raised for market to a certain extent, and is in good 

 condition and yielding well. There will be more than a normal crop of 

 rowen. The prospect for late potatoes is poor, as they are rotting 

 badly. Apples good; pears average; peaches below; grapes normal; 

 cranberries normal. Pastures are in good condition. Oats and barley 

 are about the same as usual. 



Dunstable (A. J. Gilson). — Indian corn is somewhat late, but is 

 looking well otherwise. The yield and condition of sweet corn is good. 

 There is the prospect of more than a normal crop of rowen. Late 

 potatoes promise a good crop, but bUght and rot have appeared on 

 early varieties. Apples, pears, peaches and cranberries are Ught crops, 

 and cranberries medium. Pasturage is very good for the time of year. 

 Oats are a light crop; no barley raised for grain. Beans and cucum- 

 bers have blighted badly, and squash and melon vines are growing 

 much faster than the fruit. 



Chelmsford (P. P. Perham). — Indian corn is more than an average 

 crop. Sweet corn is raised for market, and is a very large crop. Rowen 

 is away above a normal crop. Our people are about discouraged 

 trying to raise potatoes, and the few that were planted have blighted. 

 Not over half as many winter apples as last year; pears plenty; 

 peaches few ; grapes largely growth of vines, but little fruit. Pastures 

 never looked better at this time of year. Oats and barley were large 

 crops, and were mostly fed green. 



Tewksbury (G. E. Crosby). — Indian corn is not grown in this vi- 

 cinity. Sweet corn has been very good, on the whole. The prospect 

 for the rowen crop is good. Some fields of potatoes show blight and a 

 tendency to rot. Apples about two-thirds crop; pears and peaches 

 about half crops. Pasturage is in better condition than usual at this 

 season. Oats and barley are very light as forage crops. Celery has 

 blighted, especially early celery; and some fields have been plowed 

 under. 



Concord (Wm. H. Hunt). — Indian corn is in fine condition. Sweet 

 corn is raised for the market, and is doing very well. The prospect for 

 rowen is good on early cut pieces. There is no blight or rot so far on 

 potatoes, and they look well. Apples are a fair crop, and jiears and 

 grapes full crops. Pasturage is in very good condition. In this vi- 

 cinity most crops are looking finely. So far tlicrc is v(M-y little rust on 

 asparagus. 



Lincoln (C. S. Wheeler). — Indian corn is al)out average for the 

 small amount raised. Sweet corn is extensively raised for market, and 

 is fine in condition and yield and ripening early. There will be more 

 than a normal crop of rowen. If rot does not ruin the crop, late po-
