DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tishury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Indian corn is in very good 

 condition. Some sweet corn is raised here for market, and it is of 

 very fine quality and yielding well. Where grass was early cut the 

 prospect is good for rowen, but a large portion of the first crop stood 

 too long. Potatoes promise an average crop, but there is some com- 

 plaint of blight and rot. The prospect is fair for all kinds of fruit. 

 Pastures are in very good condition. Oats and barley are below aver- 

 age in yield. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (H. G. Worth). — Indian corn is in good condition. 

 Sweet corn is grown for market, and is in good condition. Rowen 

 is a better crop than usual. Potatoes promise a good crop, with but 

 little trouble from blight and rot. The prospect for cranberries is 

 good. Pasturage was never in better condition. Oats rusted some- 

 what.
