amount of fall seeding has been done, and that sown early looks very 

 poorly; recent seeding may do a little better, as rain has just fallen. 

 There is a very good crop of onions. Potatoes are a three-fourths 

 crop in yield, but of good quality. Cape turnips suffered for want of 

 rain, but the showers of the 22d may help out somewhat. Apples 

 light; pears, peaches, grapes and cranberries very good. Probably 

 three-fourths of the cranberry crop has been harvested without any 

 frost ; crop very large in this locality. 



Denjiis (Joshua Crowell). — Corn is fully up to the usual average. 

 Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. Very little fall 

 seeding has been done. Onions are below a normal crop. Potatoes 

 compare favorably with the normal in both yield and quaUty. The 

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

 crops. Apples are half a crop; cranberries about average. 



Harwich (Ambrose N. Doane). — Indian corn is a very good crop. 

 The dry weather damaged rowen and fall feed very much. Very little 

 fall seeding is done here. Onions are a fair crop. Potatoes are of 

 good size but make a small yield. The prospect is about average for 

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

 pears, peaches and grapes poor; cranberries fair. 



Eastham (J. A. Clark). — Indian corn is an average crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are below the usual average, owing to drought. Less 

 than the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, as the ground 

 has been too dry. Potatoes are a very good crop. The prospect for 

 root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops has improved 

 since the rain. Apples and cranberries average. 



DUKES COUNTY.
