prospect is fair for root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops. There will not be over 30 per cent of an average crop of apples ; 

 pears good; but few peaches; grapes good. 



Gill (F. F. Stoughton). — Indian corn is better than an average 

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

 not raised to any great extent. Potatoes are not yielding well. Root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are little raised. Late 

 apples are light in yield ; grapes good. 



Deerfield (H. A. Wells). — Indian corn is above an average crop, 

 with ears mature and sound. The rowen crop is the best that has been 

 cut for several years. All seeding in this locality is done in corn, and 

 it is looking well. There is a light yield of potatoes, but they are of 

 good size and quality. Onions are not half a crop. Root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops are not grown. There are very 

 few apples; pears a fair crop; grapes plenty. 



Whately (Frank Dickinson). — Indian corn is a good crop, but is 

 late. Rowen is late and short; fall feed good. Owing to dry weather, 

 fall seeding is late, but it is now coming on fast. Onions are below 

 the average in yield. Potatoes are below the normal in yield, with 

 quite a little rot. The prospect is fair for root crops, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops. Apples are not over half a crop. 



Sunderland (Geo. P. Smith). — The corn crop is one of the best, 

 normal or better. Rowen and fall feed are better than average, local 

 rains having kept them fresh. The usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done, and it is in fair condition, being below the normal on dry 

 fields. There is 60 per cent of a normal crop of onions; they run 

 small in size, with the market dull. Not many potatoes have been 

 harvested, but they are apparently a fair crop. Root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops are not much grown. 



Montague (A. M. Lyman). — Indian corn compares well with a 

 normal crop. Rowen is better than usual, but fall feed is a Uttle short. 

 The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is showing 

 well. There will be a yield of 300 bushels of onions to the acre, as 

 compared with 500 bushels last year, which was an average year. 

 There will be a fair yield of potatoes. The prospect is very good for 

 root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. Apples are 

 hardly more than a quarter crop; other fruits fair; grapes are an 

 excellent crop; melons have done well. 



New Salem (Daniel Ballard). — Indian corn is a normal crop, 

 well ripened. There is a fine crop of rowen, and fall feed is fully average. 

 About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is looking 

 well. Onions are not much raised in this section. Potatoes appear 

 to be a fair yield of good quality. Root crops look well, and there 

 is not much celery raised. There will be a fair yield of apples on high 

 land ; pears and grapes abundant ; no peaches ; but few cranberries. 



Orange (A. C. White) . — Corn is a good crop, well eared and matured.
