good quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and late market- 

 garden crops is very fair. There are very fair yields of apples, pears, 

 peaches, grapes and cranberries. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Mansfield (Wm. C. Winter). — Indian corn is a normal crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are about up to the usual average. About the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, and is in fair condition, but 

 needs rain. Onions are little grown. A light crop of potatoes is 

 expected; some rot, but quality generally good. Root crops, celery 

 and late market-garden crops are little grown, but look well. Winter 

 apples are a very light crop; pears heavy; peaches light, also cran- 

 berries; grapes good. 



Attleborough (Isaac Alger). — The corn crop is above the average. 

 Rowen is not much grown, and fall feed is in average condition. The 

 usual amount of fall seeding has been done. Potatoes are not an 

 average crop. The prospect is fair for root crops, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops. There will be a small crop of fruit. 



Seekonk (John W. Peck). — Corn is little raised except for the silo, 

 and is good for that purpose. Drought has prevented growth of rowen 

 and fall feed on all high lands; very low lands fairly good. Early fall 

 seeding looks well, later is up onlj^ on moist lands. The drought 

 checked the growth of onions and they are not above the normal. 

 There is three-fourths of a crop of potatoes, of good quahty. Drought 

 has checked growth of root crops and all late crops. Pears plenty; 

 apples and peaches scarce ; grapes fair. Wells and springs are very low. 



Dighton (Howard C. Briggs). — Indian corn is more than an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. Not as 

 much fall seeding as usual has been done, and it is in poor condition. 

 Very few onions are raised, and they are a light crop. Potatoes are 

 about half a crop, of good quality. Root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops are not up to the average. Apples are a light 

 yield; cranberries half a crop; grapes a full crop; peaches and pears 

 average. No rain for nearly a month ; vegetation suffers and streams 

 are low. 



Sivansea (F. G. Arnold). — Corn is more than an average crop. 

 But httle rowen has been secured; fall feed is up to the average. 

 About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but it is not very 

 forward, owing to dry weatiiei. There is about an average yield of 

 onions. Early varieties of potatoes gave a light yield ; later varieties 

 a fair yield. C'elery, turnips and carrots are backward and need rain. 

 Apples are a poor crop ; pears, peaches and grapes plenty ; cranberries 

 not grown. 



Acushnet (M. S. Douglas). — Indian corn is about a normal crop, 

 with more planted than usual. Rowen and fall feed are not up to the 

 usual average. Less than the usual amount of fall seeaing has been
