Oats and barley are good crops where sown early. Root crops are not 

 grown to any extent. 



Conway (L. T. Hopkins). — Indian corn will be a good average crop. 

 Rowen promises a good yield. Potatoes will be a light crop, the 

 growth of vines being small and the vines mostly dead. The acreage 

 of tobacco is a httle less than usual ; condition good, but some hail-cut. 

 Apples are a light crop, of poor quality; pears and grapes full crops; 

 few peaches. Pasturage is in good condition for the season of the year, 

 the recent showers having been a great help. Oats are a good crop, 

 but are little grown. If apples are sorted as they should be, there will 

 be but very few No. 1 i^dnter apples. 



Deer-field (Dwight A. Hawkes). — There will be more than an av- 

 erage crop of corn. There will not be a full crop of rowen. The pros- 

 pect for late potatoes is poor; they have blight, but show no rot as 

 yet. The acreage of tobacco is somewhat reduced, but the concUtion 

 is excellent. Apples are less than half a crop, and of poor quality. 

 Pastures are in good condition. The cucumber crop, for pickles, is 

 much above the average. Root crops are not grown here. 



Sunderland (Geo. P. Smith). — Indian corn is a good crop, and well 

 advanced. There will be a three-fourths yield of rowen, it having 

 grown since the showers. There is some blight on late potatoes. 

 There is the usual acreage of tobacco, and it has made a fine growth, 

 though some fields were damaged by storms. There will be very few 

 apples; pears and grapes are normal crops. Pasturage has improved 

 very much during the past month. Root crops are not grown to any 

 extent. The damage by the storm of the 11th was from one-fourth to 

 three fourths of the value of the fields affected, and about half the 

 acreage was affected in this town, 



Erving (Chas. F. Clark). — Indian corn is in good condition. 

 There will be a two-thirds crop of rowen. There will not be a large 

 crop of pototoes, though neither blight nor rot have appeared. There 

 will be a small crop of apples, but pears are plenty. Pasturage is in 

 fair condition for the season. There will be an average crop of oats; 

 barley is little raised. Root crops are not raised in this section. 



North-field (Thomas R. Callender). — Corn is well eared, and there 

 is promise of more than an average crop. There will be about half a 

 crop of rowen. Blight is very general on late potatoes and the prospect 

 is the poorest in years. The acreage of tobacco is about the same as 

 usual, and the crop is the best for several seasons. All fruit will be 

 light except pears and grapes. Late rains have brought pastures to 

 nearly normal condition. Oats have proved a good crop, ■\\dth very 

 little rust. Root crops are not grown to any extent. Cucumbers for 

 pickles have given an abimdant yield so far, but blight has appeared, 

 and the season is now nearly over, having been two weeks earlier than 

 usual. 



Orange (A. C. White). — Corn was badly blown down by the storm
