Seekonk (John W. Peck). — Indian corn is a very good crop, but is 

 not much grown in this section. Rowen is fully up to the average, but 

 dry weather has made feed in pastures poor. Less than the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, owing to drought. Onions are 

 generally a very good crop. Potatoes are a good crop in both quantity 

 and quality. Celery seems to have suffered from blight. Pears plenty; 

 apples, peaches and grapes not up to last year. 



Sicansea (F. G. Arnold). — Corn is fully up to the average on dry 

 land, but is below on wet land. Rowen and fall feed have been unusu- 

 ally good until the dry weather of the present month. About the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, but much of it has not germinated 

 as yet, owing to dry weather. Blight struck onions, and the crop is 

 light. Potatoes are above the normal in yield, and of very good 

 quality. The present prospect is for light crops of roots, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops, as we have had a very dry September. 

 Apples light ; pears and peaches fair ; grapes good ; cranberries not 

 grown. 



Westport (Albert S. Sherman). — Indian corn is very good, better 

 than an average crop. Rowen is good, but fall feed has been pinched 

 by dry weather. Fall seeding has been done later than usual, and some 

 farmers have not yet finished. There is a fair crop of onions, about 

 normal. Potatoes are a fair yield, but are generally rather small. 

 Turnips and cabbages are backward, and will not be a large crop. 

 Apples are about half a crop; pears plenty; peaches scarce; grapes 

 abundant ; no cranberries grown here. 



Dartmouth (L. T. Davis). — Corn is a little above a normal crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are hardly up to the usual average. Not as much 

 fall seeding has been done as in some years, and it has been too dry for 

 its best progress. Onions are little raised. Potatoes are hardly up to 

 the normal in jaeld, but are of fair quality. The prospect is fairh' good 

 for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. What few 

 apples there were have fallen badly, so that there is a very poor crop ; 

 pears much the same. Some late planted forage crops have done very 

 well, and are still growing. 



Acushnet (M. S. Douglas). — Indian corn is more than a normal 

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

 than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is not prom- 

 ising. There is a fair crop of onions. Potatoes made a good yield, but 

 have rotted badly. There is a good prospect for root crops, celery and 

 other late market-garden crops. There are few apples; pears not up to 

 the average; few peaches and grapes ; cranberries big crop. 



PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Norivell (Henry A. Turner). — Indian corn is a good crop. Rowen 

 has been plentiful, and of excellent quality. There is about half a crop 

 of onions, they having blighted liadly. Potatoes are a very good crop,
