crops. Celery is looking well, though if not sprayed I predict that it 

 will blight. All market-garden crops are looking well. 



Dartmouth (L. T. Davis). — Indian corn is a fine crop, and earing 

 heavily. Sweet corn is in good condition, and yielding well. Early 

 cut fields will give a good crop of rowen. Late potatoes are not grown, 

 but early varieties show some rot. Apples 10 per cent; pears 50 per 

 cent ; peaches 30 per cent ; grapes 60 per cent. Pasturage still holds 

 very good. Oats and barley are little raised, but are good crops. 



Acushnet (M. S. Douglas). — Indian corn is in fine condition. 

 Sweet corn is raised for market, and is in good condition, with more 

 than an average yield. Rowen will be above a normal crop. Late 

 potatoes are rotting quite badly. Apples and pears are scarce; few 

 peaches; grapes and cranberries good. Pasturage is in good condition. 

 Oats are not up to the average, and have rusted badly; barley looking 

 well for late forage crop. 



PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Norwell (H. A. Turner). — Indian corn is in very fair condition. 

 Sweet corn is not much raised in this section. Rowen will be about 

 half a normal crop. Potatoes are blighted and rotting on many fields. 

 The apple crop will be light ; pears good, also grapes. Pasturage is in 

 very good condition. Oats and barley are about normal crops. 



Marshfield (J. H. Bourne). — Indian corn is in excellent condition, 

 though a little late, so that frost must hold off until October. Sweet 

 corn is raised for market, and condition and yield are fairly good. 

 Rowen promises a fairly good crop, in spite of late cutting of first crop. 

 Late potatoes promise well, except for blight and some rot. Apples 

 and pears abundant ; cranberries better than last year. Pastures are 

 better than usual. Oats and barley are a little better than ordinarily, 

 as the rains carried them out. 



Pembroke (Nathaniel Morton). — Indian corn is in very fair con- 

 dition. Sweet corn is not raised to any extent. Rowen is going to be 

 a very good crop, much larger than usual. There is an abundant yield 

 of potatoes, but some blight. Apples poor and scarce; no peaches 

 grown; no grapes; cranberries medium. Pasturage is in very good 

 condition. Oats and barley are about a\'erage crops. 



Hanson (F. S. Thomas, M. D.). — Indian corn is in good condition. 

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

 dition. Rowen never promised better than now. Potatoes have 

 blighted badly, but do not show rot. There will be few winter apples ; 

 some pears; no peaches; some grapes and cranberries. Pastures are 

 in fine condition. Oats and Ix'irley are little raised. We have had a 

 very wet season, but it has now been hot and dry for a week. 



BriHgnvatcr (Rowland Cass). — Indian corn is a little late, but is 

 growing fast. Sweet corn for market is not much grown in this lo-
