MIDDLESEX COUNTY. 



Chehnsford. — Theie will be Itut little roweu. Corn crop below 

 the average. . Outlook very good for a heavy crop of late 

 potatoes. Outlook for cranberry crop far below an average. 

 Some twelve years ago many farmers in this section went into the 

 cultivation of grajies of various kinds at quite an outlay. Their 

 oxi)octations have not been fully realized on account of damage 

 caused by colil and frost and the very low price when there was a 

 big crop. The crop this year will hardly be an average one.

Framiiigham,. — Half a cro}) of rowen! Corn promises to be a 

 full average. Have seen no i)otato blight or rot. Late potatoes 

 l)romise better than last season. Outlook for late cabbages good. 

 Cranberries very light. Think the crops are not as large as last 

 year, but farmers are getting better prices for most of their 

 products and will be better off financially at the end of the 

 season.

 to be a full average. No blight and the outlook for late potatoes 

 is good. Outlook for late cabbages good. Grape culture has 

 increased the past five years, and the outlook for this year's crop 

 is excellent. Never saw the i)astnres looking better. The rains 

 have been seasonable, and to-day there are no evidences of the 

 severe drought which for four weeks threatened desolation and 

 ruin to our fields and gardens. 



Daniel Neediiam.

 will be a full average. The late rains have proved a boon for corn 

 and fall feed. No complaint of potato rot, and the outlook for 

 late potatoes is good. Outlook for late cabbages good. Cultivated 

 cranberries one-half a crop; meadow cranberries jjoor. (irape 

 culture has increased in the past five years. The outlook for this 

 year's crop is fair.
