Washington (E. H. Eames). — There is a full corn crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are up to the usual average. No fall seeding has been 

 done as yet. Onions are not raised here. Potatoes are half a crop in 

 yield, but of good quality. Root crops, celery and late market-garden 

 crops are not raised here. Apples will be a very light yield, about 

 one-fourth of a normal crop. 



Hinsdale (Thos. F. Barker). — Indian corn is above an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is in good condition. 

 Onions are not raised here. Potatoes are below the normal in yield, 

 but of good quality. Root crops, celery and late market-garden crops 

 are but little raised. Fruit of all kinds is nearly a perfect failure. 



Cheshire (L. J. Northup). — The corn crop compares favorably with 

 a normal yield. Fall feed and rowen are up to the usual average. No 

 fall seeding has been done as yet. The onion crop is a normal one, 

 but there are very few raised. The potato crop is good in quaUty, 

 but is 25 per cent below the normal in quantity. Root crops are up 

 to the normal. Apples are half a crop; pears a full crop; grapes a 

 normal yield. 



New Ashford (Elihu Ingraham). — Indian corn is a full normal 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is in fine condition. Onions 

 are a very good crop, so far as raised. The yield of potatoes is poor, 

 but they are of good quality. Root crops, celery and late market- 

 garden crops are not raised here. Apples are a light crop. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



Roire (N. E. Adams) . — Corn is the best it has been for years. Rowen 

 and fall feed are up to the usual average. The usual amount of fall 

 seeding has been done, but it is not an extra good catch. Onions are 

 not raised here. Potatoes are poor both in quantity and quaUty. 

 There is a poor yield of all fruits. All garden vegetables have been 

 better than normal. 



Ashfield (Charles Howes). — Corn is the best crop for years. 

 Rowen is above an average crop, although grasshoppers have damaged 

 late rowen and fall feed. About the usual amount of seeding has been 

 done, and the late rains have given it a good start. But very few 

 onions are raised in this vicinity. Potatoes are yielding fairly well, but 

 with some complaint of rot. Root crops and celery are looking well. 

 Baldwins are not over 25 per cent of a crop, other apples about average 

 yields; pears, peaches, etc., light crops. 



Lcxjden (U. T. Darling). — There is a good crop of corn. The 

 rowen crop is very good, but dry weather is seriously affecting fall 

 feed. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is looking 

 very well, considering the dry weather. Very few onions are raised 

 here. Potatoes are a very good crop in both yield and quality. The
