PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Norwell (H. A. Turner). — Indian corn is in good condition. There 

 will be about half a crop of rowen. Blight has not attacked potatoes 

 much as yet. There will be few apples; peaches, grapes and cranber- 

 ries are good crops. Feed in pastures is rather short, and needs more 

 rain. Oats and barley are little raised. Beets are raised to a slight 

 extent as feed for fowls. 



Hanover (Harrison L. House). — The corn crop is in fair condition. 

 The rowen crop will be short. There is prospect of a fair crop of late 

 potatoes, with some blight. Apples, pears and grapes are good crops; 

 peaches fair; quinces little raised; cranberries good. Pasturage is in 

 good concUtion. Oats are raised for forage, and are a good crop; no 

 barley raised. Root crops are not raised in this vicinity. 



Brockton (Davis Copeland). — Indian corn is in good condition. 

 The prospect is that there will be a normal crop of rowen on moist land. 

 Not many late potatoes have been planted here. The prospect for 

 apples is poor, but pears and grapes promise good crops. Pastures 

 are in good condition since the rains. Oats and barley are not much 

 raised. Root crops are not raised for stock feeding, but carrots, beets 

 and parsnips are raised as market-garden crops. 



West Bridge-water (Clinton P. Howard). — Indian corn is in very 

 good condition. An average crop of rowen is expected. There will 

 be a good crop of late potatoes on low land, and very light yields on 

 dry fields. There are few apples; pears, grapes and cranberries plenty. 

 Roots are little raised for stock feeding, but all kinds are raised for 

 market. 



Kingston (George L. Churchill). — The corn crop is in very fair 

 condition, as good as usual at this time. An average crop of rowen 

 may be expected. Late potatoes are looking well, and blight or rot 

 have not appeared. Apples are good; pears plenty; grapes, quinces 

 and cranberries fair. Since the rains, feed in pastures is very fair. 

 Oats and barley are good crops, but little raised. Some roots are 

 grown, and are in good condition. The season now promises to be a 

 very prosjDerous one, vegetation having grown well since the rains. 



Carver (J. A. Vaughan). — Indian corn is in good condition. Rowen 

 promises to be a good crop. Potatoes were cut short by dry weather, 

 but I have noticed no rot. There is a fair crop of apples and pears. 

 Pastures are dry and short. Root crops are grown to a small extent. 

 Cranberries on many bogs are a very light crop, while on others a good 

 crop may be expected; the crop as a whole does not promise to be an 

 average one. 



Rochester (Geo. H. Randall). — Indian corn is generally a poor 

 crop, about half the normal. Rowen did not start well, and will be a 

 small crop, though it looks bright and thrifty now. Late potatoes are 

 half a crop of medium size and smooth, with no blight or rot. Apples
