thirds of the normal in yield and of good quality. Root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops are badly in need of rain. Fall 

 apples are plenty, but winter apples are scarce ; cranberries a fair crop. 

 More turnips were planted than last season. Asparagus on old fields 

 rusted badly. 



Wellfleet (E. S. Jacobs). — Indian corn is about an average crop. 

 The rowen crop is above the average. There has been no fall seeding 

 done as yet. Very few onions have been planted in this vicinity. 

 Potatoes are a very good yield and of good quality. The prospect for 

 root crops, celery and late market-garden crops is rather poor, dry 

 weather having checked them. Apples, pears, peaches, and especially 

 cranberries, have been far above the average. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tisbury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Indian corn is below the aver- 

 age. The rowen crop is nearly a failure, and fall feed is below the 

 average. It has been too dry to do fall seeding. Potatoes are a poor 

 yield, but are of good quality. The prospect is poor for root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops, owing to dry weather. 

 Apples and pears are average crop; grapes above the average; cran- 

 berries below average. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (H. G. Worth). — The corn crop will be very near the 

 normal. Rowen and fall feed are in good condition. Very little 

 fall seecUng has been done. There is a normal yield of onions. Pota- 

 toes are not over 60 per cent in either yield or quality. Root crops 

 are looking well. No fruit raised; cranberries are a good crop.
