root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops is at present 

 promising. There is about a third of a crop of fruit. Tobacco was a 

 fine crop, and has cured well. 



Northampton (H. C. Comins). — The corn crop is above the average. 

 The rowen crop is very heavy, and fall feed fair. About the usual 

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

 onion crop is not up to the standard, not more than a three-fourths 

 crop. There is a fair yield of potatoes, of good quality. There is a 

 promise of good crops of all vegetables. There is a small crop of apples ; 

 pears and grapes good crops. All crops have been fairly good, and 

 many excellent. 



Westhampton (H. A. Parsons). — Indian corn is a good crop. Rowen 

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

 fall seeding has been done, and it is in good condition. Onions are 

 not raised here. Potatoes are a good crop in yield and quality. The 

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

 crops. Apples are half a crop ; pears a good crop ; no peaches ; grapes 

 a two-thirds crop. 



Chesterfield (Horatio Bisbee). — Corn is a very fine crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are up to if not above the usual average. About the 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but it has not started 

 well. There is not a very large crop of potatoes, and the tubers are 

 small in size. The apple crop is very small; pears and grapes are 

 good. There has been no frost to injure vegetation as yet. 



Cummington (S. W. Clark). — Indian corn is somewhat above a 

 normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. But 

 little fall seeding has been done. Only one man raises onions, and he 

 had a fair crop. The yield of potatoes is light, with some loss from 

 rot, but the quality is otherwise fair. The prospect is very good for 

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

 crop, or less; other fruit normal. 



HAMPDEN COUNTY. 



Tolland (Eugene M. Moore), — Indian corn is more than an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are about the usual average. Potatoes are 

 of good quality, and about three-fourths of an average crop in yield. 

 Apples have dropped somewhat; pears, grapes and cranberries have 

 turned out good crops. 



Blandjord (Enos W. Boise). — The warm weather has brought for- 

 ward corn to the extent that it will be 10 per cent above the normal. 

 Rowen and fall feed are extra good. No fall seeding has been done, 

 on account of dry, warm weather. Onions are not raised as a market 

 crop. Potatoes are not up to the normal in yield, but are of good 

 quality. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops promise 

 about normal yields. Apples are fully 80 per cent of a normal crop,
