Mashpee (W. F. Hammond). — Indian corn is above the average. 

 Sweet corn is raised foi- market, and is above the average in conihtion 

 and j'ield. Kowen will be more than an average crop. There is blight 

 on a few fields of potatoes, but very little rot, and the outlook for the 

 crop is good. There will be half a crop of apples and pears; one- 

 fourth of a crop of peaches; three-fourths of a crop of cranberries. 

 Pasturage is above the average. Oats were above the average, but 

 were spoiled during the long wet spell both for grain and forage. 



Barnstable (John Bursley). — Indian corn is in first-class condi- 

 tion. Sweet corn is raised for market, and is in good condition and 

 yielding well. There will be a large crop of rowen. Some blight has 

 appeared on potatoes, but there is little rot as yet. Apples will be a 

 fight crop; pears, peaches and grapes good; cranberries more than 

 average. Pasturage is drying up within the past few days. Oats 

 and barley are little grown. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell). — Indian corn is in fine condition. 

 Sweet corn is raised for market to some extent, and gives a fair yield, 

 the late varieties doing the best. Rowen will be rather under a nor- 

 mal yield, owing to late cutting of first crop. The prospect for pota- 

 toes is fair, with no rot or blight. Apples medium ; pears good; cran- 

 berries an average crop. Pasturage has been excellent, but is in need 

 of rain. 



Brewster (Thomas D. Sears). — Indian corn is looking well. Sweet 

 corn is raised for the local market only, and the condition and yield 

 is good. The crop of rowen will be above the normal. The prospect 

 for late potatoes is not good, on account of insects, blight and rot. 

 There will be fair crops of apples, pears, peaches, grapes and cran- 

 berries. Pastures are in good condition. Oats and barley are little 

 raised. 



Enstham (J. A. Clark). — Indian corn is in good condition. Sweet 

 corn is not raised for market. Rowen is now in need of rain. Mostly 

 early varieties of potatoes are raised, and the crop will be good. Ap- 

 ples good; pears and cranberries good. Pastures are in need of rain. 

 Crops are now all in need of rain, but aside from that everything looks 

 prosperous. 



Wcllfleet (E. S. Jacobs). — What Indian corn is raised is in very 

 good condition. Sweet corn is raised for market, and is suffering 

 considerably from the corn worm. Rowen compares well with a nor- 

 mal {!rop. The prospect for late potatoes is gootl, and neither blight 

 nor rot have appeared. The prospect is very good for apples, pears, 

 grapes and cranberries, but there will not be many peaches. Pastur- 

 age is in very good condition. Oats and barley are very good crops, 

 but not much raised.
