fair and coloring well; pears have been a full crop; other fruits not 

 raised to any amount. 



Granville (Joseph Welch). — Corn is a very good crop, the best in 

 several years. Rowen is very good; fall feed suffered on account of 

 the dry weather. Very little fall seeding has been done. Potatoes 

 are about half a crop, and of small size. There will be about half a 

 crop of apples; pears a large crop; cranberries a good yield where 

 grown. 



Agaicam (J. G. Burt). — Indian corn is better than a normal crop. 

 The rowen crop and fall feed are better than usual. About the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, and the condition is good. The 

 onion crop is a little better than usual. Potatoes are a good yield, 

 of fine quality. The prospect for root crops is fine. Apples are a light 

 crop; other fruits good. Tobacco growers are taking down the crop, 

 and it is in fine condition. 



West Springfield (T. A. Rogers). — The corn crop shows the largest 

 acreage on record, and is fully up to the normal in quantity. Rowen 

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

 fall seeding has been done, and it is looking well. Onions have suf- 

 fered quite a little from blight, and there is hardly a normal crop. 

 Potatoes are rather below the normal in yield, but of good quality. 

 Hardly as many root crops as usual have been planted; celery is look- 

 ing rather poorly. Apples 60 per cent of a full crop ; pears a full crop ; 

 peaches good ; grapes short. 



East Longmeadow (John L. Davis). — The corn crop is a bumper 

 one. Early mowed meadows show good rowen ; pastures are dry. The 

 weather has been too dry to put in fall seeding, and it is therefore 

 backward. Onions are not raised. Quality for potatoes good, except 

 for scab ; yield about 75 per cent of a full crop. The prospect for root 

 crops, celery and other late market-garden crops is poor; turnips and 

 cabbages almost a failure. Apples are half a crop; peaches a three- 

 fourths crop; grapes plenty; no cranberries raised for market. 



Wilhruham (H. M. liuss). — Indian corn is a full crop. Rowen 

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

 fall seeding has been done, and it is in good condition. Onions are 85 

 per cent of a normal crop. Potatoes are but half a yield, of fair quality. 

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

 is fairly good. Apples half a crop; pears 8.5 per cent; peaches 90 per 

 cent; grapes 95 per cent; cranberries 70 per cent. 



Ludlow (Chas. B. Bennett). — Indian corn is more than an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Very -little 

 fall seeding has been done, owing to dry weather. Potatoes are not 

 half an average crop. The prospect is very good for root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops. Very few apples; pears plenty, 

 also grapes ; very few peaches. 



Brirnficld (C. S. Tarbem>). — Corn is (luite up to or above the average.
