and what there is has been slow in coming up. Here and there a field 

 of onions is fairly well matured, but many are blighted and dried down 

 small. Potatoes are a fine crop, but are little raised hereabouts. Beets, 

 carrots and parsnips are below the average; celery not much raised. 

 There is a fair crop of apples; few pears and peaches; no cranberries; 

 apples are small, and not highly colored. There is not a great crop of 

 squash. Tomatoes are plenty and cheap, but the late crop may do 

 better. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Walpole (Edward L. Shepard). — Indian corn is above the normal. 

 Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. Less than the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, owing to dry weather. Onions 

 are not much raised in this locality. Potatoes are of good quality, but 

 are rather light in yield. Root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops are not up to the normal. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes 

 and cranberries are about half crojDS. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). — There is a full average crop of Lidian 

 corn. Rowen and fall feed are better than for years. The usual amount 

 of fall seeding has been done, and it looks well. Onions are not raised. 

 Potatoes are a very good crop, both in yield and quahty. The prospect 

 is that root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops vAM give 

 average yields. Apples are a good crop; pears poor; jDeaches and 

 grapes few; cranberries light. 



Bellingham (John J. O'Sullivan). — Indian corn is a good average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are about the same as usual. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is backward, owing to dry 

 weather. Onions are little raised, but so far as grown will give an aver- 

 age crop. Potatoes have made a small yield, but are of fair quality. 

 Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are very little 

 raised about here. Apples are a good crop ; other fruits poor. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Mansfield (Wm. C. Winter). — There is about a normal crop of corn. 

 The rowen crop is about the same as usual in amount, but was secured 

 in good shape, helping to make up for the poor quality of the hay crop; 

 fall feed has suffered from drought. The weather has been too dry for 

 fall seeding. Potatoes are not generally harvested, but the yield and 

 quality is expected to be normal. Root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops are looking well. Apples, peaches and grapes are 

 failures; pears fair; cranberries an average crop. 



Attleborough (Isaac Alger). — Indian corn is a full 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. Potatoes are 

 about an average crop in both yield and quality. The prospect is good 

 for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. There will 

 be no apples; cranberries are a fair crop.
