About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is at 

 present in good condition. Onions are not quite an average crop. 

 The yield of potatoes is small, but the quaUty is good. The prospect 

 is good for root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops. 

 Apples are not average crop; peaches fair; pears good; grapes good; 

 cranberries below average. 



Wareham (A. B. Savary). — Indian corn is about a normal crop. 

 Rowen and fall feed are below the usual average, owing to dry weather. 

 Very little fall seeding has been done, as it is too dry. Onions are not 

 raised here. Potatoes are below the normal in both yield and quality. 

 The prospect is poor for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops, owing to dry weather. Apples and cranberries are a 

 light crop; other fruits about normal. 



BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Bourne (David D. Nye). — The crop of Indian corn compares 

 favorably with the normal. Rowen and fall feed are up to the aver- 

 age, and in many places exceed last year. A small amount of fall 

 seeding has been done and is at present in very satisfactory condition. 

 Onions are very small and not much raised. Potatoes compare well 

 with the normal in both yield and quality. Market-garden crops are 

 little raised. Apples, peaches and cranberries are all below normal 

 crops. 



Mashpee (W. F. Hammond). — Indian corn is above the average. 

 Rowen and fall feed are above the average. Onions are less than an 

 average crop. The potato crop is almost a failure. Late root crops 

 will give about normal yields. Apples, pears and grapes are two- 

 thirds crops; cranberries half a crop. 



Barnstable (John Bursley). — Corn is an average crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are not up to the usual average. The usual amount of 

 fall seeding has been done; that sown early looks well, but late sown 

 is suffering for rain. Onions are not grown. Potatoes are 65 per 

 cent of the normal in yield and of good quality. Cape turnips must 

 be very small unless rain comes soon. Apples are a light crop; pears, 

 peaches and grapes full crops; cranberries not over 70 per cent in 

 quantity, but of good quality. 



Brewster (Thos. D. Sears). — Indian corn compares favorably with 

 a normal crop. There is a very good crop of rowen and fall feed is in 

 good condition. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but 

 owing to dry weather the present condition is rather poor. Onions 

 compare well with a normal crop. The potato crop is far below normal 

 in yield and quality. The prospect is favorable for root crops. There 

 has been a fair crop of apples, pears, peaches, grapes and cranberries. 



Eastham (J. A. Clark). — More corn has been planted than usual 

 and it has done well. Pastures have been good since the rains in 

 August. Onions are little raised. The potato crop is about two-
