Andover (Milo H. Gould). — Indian corn is in good condition. 

 Sweet corn is raised for market, and is in unusually good condition, 

 but prices are low. There will be more than a normal crop of rowen. 

 The prospect is good for late potatoes, but rot is troubling somewhat. 

 Winter apples are a good crop; pears abundant; grapes eaten by rose 

 bugs; cranberries good. Pasturage is in very good condition. Oats 

 and barley are about normal crops. Cucumbers raised for pickles 

 have been hurt by blight. 



Rouiey (D. H. O'Brien). — Indian corn will be very late, and 

 liable to injury from frost. Sweet corn is little raised for market. 

 Rowen promises better than an average crop. The present outlook 

 is for a hght crop of potatoes, as they have blighted badly. Apples are 

 a fair crop; pears medium; peaches and grapes good; cranberries 

 poor. Pastures are in extra good condition. Oats and barley com- 

 pared favorably with the normal. 



Danvers (C. H. Pkeston). — Indian corn is in good condition. 

 Sweet corn is in good condition, and yielding well. Rowen will be an 

 average crop. There is some blight and rot on potatoes. Apples- will 

 be less than half a crop; pears fair; peaches fair; grapes good. Pas- 

 turage is in good condition. 



Manchester (John Baker). — Indian corn is in fine condition. 

 Sweet corn is in first-class condition. Rowen promises a good yield. 

 Early potatoes blighted, but late ones promise well. There will be 

 medium crops of fruit. Pasturage is in good condition. Oats and 

 barley are about normal crops. The season has been a good one for 

 all forage crops, but just now is getting a little dry. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Randolph (RuFUS A. Thayer). — Indian corn promises a good 

 average crop. Sweet corn is a little late, but is growing finely. Rowen 

 is not an average crop. Late potatoes are looking well, but some rot 

 has appeared. Apples will be half a crop; pears half a crop; grapes 

 a full crop. Pasturage is very fine for the season. Oats and barley 

 are good crops, but are all used for fodder. On account of rainy 

 weather, the hay crop was not harvested as early as usual, and on 

 late cut fields there will be very little rowen. 



Canton (E. V. Kinsley). — Indian corn is A No. I. Sweet corn is 

 raised to some extent for market, and is good in condition and yield. 

 Rowen will be very heavy on early cut mowings. Late potatoes 

 promise well; have heard of some blight, but have seen none. Apples 

 are a short crop; other fruits good. Pasturage is in very good condi- 

 tion, but will soon be short if the present weather rontiimes. Oats 

 are a very poor crop; barley raised for forage, and yielding well. 

 Milk is getting short, and fresh cows are in demand. 



Norivood (F, A. Fales). — Indian corn is two weeks late, but is
