Hancock. — Indian corn .1 full :i,veragc and rowen has tnrned 



out to be an average crop. Late |)otato(!s yield well bnt rot 



badly. Little seeding is done in the fall. Rye is looking well. 



About two-thirds of an onion crop of good quality. The maggot 



was the cause of the shortage. 



C. IL Weixs. 



Monterey. — We have not raised the usual amount of corn, but 

 what we have is fairly good. Only a very little rowen has been 

 cut. Potatoes, early and late, still continue to rot. Very little 

 fall ploughing has been done. The wet weather has kept farmers 

 behind with their work. We think the frost in June destroyed the 

 cranberries. 



W. S. r>IDWELL. 



Windsor. — Think Indian corn a full average crop. About 



half a crop of rowen of fine qualit}^ Potatoes are a big yield but 



half are rotten. First frost here the morning of the 25th, with 



thermometer at o2 degrees. Have had so much rain of late that 



fall work is backward.

BllISTOL COUNTY. 



Berkley. — Indian corn and rowen not full average crops. Late 



potatoes not an average crop in yield and quality. Less than the 



average amount of fall seeding has been done, and that is rather 



backward. Cranberry crop below the average, caused in part by 



the fire worms in the early part of the season. About an average 



crop of onions. 



R. H. Babbitt. 



North liaynham. — Do not think the crop of Indian corn a full 

 average. Think rowen not an average. Potatoes are badly rotten. 

 In many places more fall seeding than usual has been done, and 

 it is in very fine condition. The warm weather of last winter left 

 us with a large crop of worms and bugs in embryo that have been 

 very active all through the season in producing imperfect fruit of 

 nearly all kinds, and not only the fruit, but also the trees and 

 plants have been injured. Frost has not yet appeared in sufficient 

 quantity to check them. 



N. W. Shaw. 



North Wesfport. — Most of the corn has been stooked and is a 

 full average crop. Rowen is an average crop. Potatoes are all 

 dug and but for rot the crop would have been a fine one. Not as
