not turned out to be an average crop. Not an average yield of

West Falmouth. — Crop of Indian corn a full average. Very 



little if any rowen worth cutting. Most of our seeding is done in 



the spring. About a third of a crop of cranberries of good 



quality ; crop injured by vine and berry worms. Onion crop not 



an average, owing to maggot and poor seed. Melon crop very 



good. 



D. R. AVicKS. 



BERKSHIRE COUNTY. 



Becket. — Corn is a full average crop and was out of the way of 



the frost which came September 25th. Rowen is an average crop 



but is late. Late potatoes are not an average crop in yield and 



quality. Fall seeding looks well. Cranberries are an average in 



yield and quality. Onions not an average crop owing to wet 



weather. 



^Y. H. Snow. 



Dalton. — Corn is a good crop and well ripened. Think rowen 

 has turned out to be an average crop. Late potatoes have rotted 

 very badly and continue to do so after being dug. Rye is looking 

 well. Farmers are plowing less and top-dressing instead of re- 

 seeding.
