dry weather. On low laud potatoes are a fair crop, but are poor on 

 uplands. Apples are a fair crop; pears are rotting on the trees, as 

 never before; grapes fair; cranberries a rather light crop. Pasturage 

 is dry and short. Oats and barley are not raised hereabouts. There 

 are some beets and turnips and a few carrots grown for market. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tisbury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Indian corn is in fair condition. 

 The prospect for rowen is poor. There will be a very poor crop of late 

 potatoes. The prospect is below the average for fruit of all kinds. 

 Pastures are in average condition. Oats and barley are average crops. 

 Some roots are grown for market, but not to any great extent. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (H. G. Worth). — Corn is in very good condition, con- 

 sidering the drought. Rowen is looking well. Potatoes are giving 

 only a hght yield, but do not show much blight or rot. Cranberries 

 suffered from the dry weather. Pasturage is in very good condition 

 since the rains. Oats and barley are below the normal. Most of our 

 farmers grow a few roots for stock feeding.
