both in yield and quality. The prospect is good for root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops. Few apples, pears and peaches; 

 native grapes abundant. 



Hanover (Harrison L. House). — Corn is a full normal crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are fully up to the normal. The usual amount 

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

 not raised here. Potatoes are a short crop, but of good quahty. The 

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

 crops. Apples are scarce ; pears fair ; peaches very few ; grapes a fail- 

 ure; cranberries good. 



Marshfield (John H. Bourne). — Indian corn is 10 per cent above 

 the normal. Rowen and fall feed are much above the usual average. 

 Not quite as much fall seeding has been done as usual, and it is a little 

 backward, owing to the four weeks of dry weather. Onions are not 

 quite as large as usual, but they have ripened off well. Early potatoes 

 have made a larger yield than usual, and are above average in quality. 

 The long dry spell checked the growth of root crops, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops, but they are now growing again. Apples are 

 less than an average crop, and variable, some trees loaded, and others 

 near by with none; pears a full average; few peaches; grapes abun- 

 dant; cranberries a fuller crop than last year. 



Pembroke (Nathaniel Morton). — The corn crop is small in quan- 

 tity, and about medium in quality. Rowen is very good, and fall feed 

 about as usual. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and 

 it is in normal condition. Onions are a very good crop. Potatoes are 

 a very good crop in both yield and quality. The prospect is good for 

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

 scarce ; pears abundant ; peaches none ; grapes abundant ; cranberries 

 an average crop. 



West Bridgewater (Clinton T. Howard). — Corn is more than a 

 normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are better than an average crop. 

 More than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it has 

 made a good start. An average crop of onions is being harvested. 

 Potatoes are of good quality, and three-fourths of a normal crop in 

 yield. There is a light crop of roots, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops, perhaps a three-fourths yield. Fruits of all kinds will 

 give light yield, perhaps not over a fourth of the normal. 



Kingston (George L. Churchill). — Indian corn is a very good 

 crop, better than usual. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual 

 average. Not much fall seeding has been done in this vicinity as yet. 

 Onions are not much raised. The potato crop is very fair so far as har- 

 vested. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are 

 not much raised about here. There will be a good crop of cranberries 

 and a small crop of apples. 



Carver (J. A. Vaughan). — Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual 

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