BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Eastham. — Rowen promises to be an average crop and coru a 

 full average. Outlook fair for a crop of late potatoes. Cranber- 

 ries are short of an average. Grape culture has not increased in 

 the past five years and this year's crop will be light. Growing 

 crops are looking well. Large acreage of turnips planted and as 

 a general thing are looking well. 



J. A. Clark. 



East Dennis. — The extreme dry weather has been very unfavor- 

 able to the rowen crop, and pastures are very short. Corn prom- 

 ises to be a full average. Potatoes planted early yield a fair crop ; 

 small crop of late ones. Cranberries are very backward and the 

 crop in this county promises to be less than last year, which was 

 below the average. Grape culture has not increased in the past 

 five years. Outlook for this year's crop not favorable. 



Joshua Crowell. 



East Sandivich. — Outlook for rowen very poor. On account 

 of the drought, coru will be below the average. No potato rot 

 and but little blight. Late potatoes will be below the average. 

 The cranberry crop has fared hard, as a late frost hurt many of 

 the late berries when they were in bloom and it has been worms 

 and dry weather ever since, but on most bogs the crop will be fair. 

 There is little feed in pastures and most all have to feed in the 

 barn, which will use up some of the surplus hay. 



J. R. HOLWAY. 



West Falmouth. — Outlook for rowen crop poor. Think corn 

 crop will be a full average. We have no potato rot or blight. 

 Potatoes are all planted early. Very few late cabbages grown. 

 The outlook is for one-third of a crop of cranberries. No grapes 



are grown.
