Some think that the natural cranl)erry bogs were in some way 

 injured by the winter. .1 believe it is a fact tliat tiie artideial 

 bogs, wliicli were covered with water through the winter, are pro- 

 ducing a good yield, ^'here are some good fields of onions and 



some poor ones. 



Wm. II. Hunt. 



Framhighntn. — Indian corn a full average but late in ripening. 

 Rowen is a full average crop, and feed in pastures is good. Do 

 not think potatoes are an average yield. Cranberry crop very 

 light in tills section. About four-fifths of an average onion crop. 

 Many ploughed up tlieir onion beds on account of the small 

 amount of seed started, owing to wet weather. Onions will aver- 

 age larger in size tlian usual. About the usual amount of fall 

 seeding will be done.

II. S. Whittemore. 



Marlborough. — Indian corn and rowen were kept back by the 

 drought, rowen especially, but of late have done very well. 

 Have had poor weather to secure rowen except as ensilage. Late 

 potatoes a good yield but have rotted badly lately. Not much 

 fall seeding has been done ; present condition good. Onions an 

 average in yield and quality but not many grown. 



C. S. Howe. 



Sherborn. — Indian corn a full average crop but not as much 



planted as in some years. Rowen has not turned out to be an 



average crop. Late potatoes yield good but rotting very badly. 



More than the average amount of fall seeding has been done and 



it looks finely. Cranberries not nearly an average crop but are 



of good quality. Am told that on many of the cranberry bogs, 



where there promised earlier in the season to be a fair crop, the 



berries have disappeared until so few are left that they are 



scarcely worth gathering. One man who estimated his crop at 



twenty-five bushels gathered them all in a peck basket and the 



basket was not full. 



N. B. Douglas. 



Wilmivgton. — Indian corn a full average crop and rowen 

 nearly so. The average amount of fall seeding has been done. 

 Cultivated cranberries are about half a crop ; meadow cranber- 

 ries nearly a failure. The season in this vicinity has on the 



whole been a properous one for the farmer.
