quality. The maggot thinned them out badly and they are very 



green at present. Market men say tliat late eab})ages are coming 



on too early and Hooding the market. All other produce sells 



well. 



Peter Holt, Jr. 



South Bi/field. — Indian corn a full average. Rowen and late 



potatoes not average crops. Average amount of fall seeding done 



and condition good. Fall feed is good but the rain came too late 



to give it growth enough to mow. In this section less salt hay has 



been cut tlian usual and much that was cut was damaged in curing, 



so there will probably be but little more hay in the barns January 



1st than a year ago. Cranberry crop not an average. Tiiere was 



a small blossom, and what crop there was did not ripen off well. 



Onion crop an average in yield and quality. 



G. W. Adams. 



Topsp.eld. — ^ Indian corn is not an average, being late and green. 



No early rowen ; some late. Yield of late potatoes small and 



quality good. Not much fall seeding done, and that is looking 



well, though late. Yield of cranberries snuill ; quality average. 



Too much watei* in the spring and no cranberries on low meadows. 



Onions not a full crop.

FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



Gonwdy. — Tlie corn cro}) made very ra[)id growth the last part 



of the season ; has fully matured ; is mostly cut without any frost, 



and is a full average crop. The rowen crop seemed almost a 



failure until about the 1st of September, since when it has 



improved rapidly, and will be an average. Early potatoes were 



very good in quantity and quality, but since they were dug many 



have rotted. Late potatoes are, however, very much the worst. 



Average amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is looking 



finely now. 



J. C. Newhall. 



East Cliarlemont. — There is a good growth of corn, but 

 unfavorable weather for maturing it has made it late, and has 

 delayed the cutting for the silos and other purposes till the last of 

 the month. Rowen crop not up to the average, and many pieces 

 have been damaged by rains and are worth but little. Late 

 potatoes are an excellent crop, but not free from scab, and those 

 that were dug befoi-e the rains arc rotting in the cellar, while those
