look for late cabbages, grajjcs and cranberries good. We raise 

 nnicli fodder corn, most of vvbicli is looking first rate. More than 

 the usual trouble with pumpkin- vine root worm. 



F. S. Thomas. 



Kincjstov. — Rowen very small and late. Some corn fields were 

 damaged by drought, but nearly all are very good now. Potatoes 

 very good with no rot, and late ones look excellent. Late cab- 

 bages look well. Outlook for cranberry crop very good, and some 

 have already conunenced picking. Grape culture has increased 

 rapidly in the last five years. This year's crop will be below the 



average. 



J. H. CusnMAN. 



MarshJ'u'Jd. — There is no outlook for rowen to speak of. The 

 prospect for corn is fair. No potato rot has appeared in this 

 vicinity and no blight. Small crop of late potatoes. Late cab- 

 bages doing fairly well. A gradual increase in grape culture in 

 the past five years. This year's crop below the average. 



Geo. J. Pkterson. 



WORCESTER COUNTY. 



Beiihi. — It looks now as though roweu would be light. Do 

 not think the corn crop will be a full average. There are no signs 

 of potato rot or blight and some fields are smooth and handsome ; 

 othei's very scabb}'. Potatoes planted quite late may be good. 

 Outlook for late cabbages not very promising. Outlook for cran- 

 berry crop very good. Grape culture has not increased in the past 

 five years. This year's crop does not look very promising. 



P. B. South WICK. 



Bolton. — Rowen promises to be an average crop. Think the 



corn crop will be a full average. Do not think potato rot has 



appeared in this vicinity. The outlook for a crop of late potatoes 



is poor, and late cabbages will not be an average. Cranberry crop 



nearly a total failure. Think grape culture has increased in the 



past five years. This 3'ear's crop ver}' poor. 



H. E. Babcock. 



East Blackstone. — Rowen crop but little below the average and 

 the corn crop promises to be a full average. No potato rot has 

 appeared, but some scab in heav}' ground. Late potatoes promise 

 to be au average crop. Outlook for late cabbages very good.
