harvest late on account of wet weather and much damage from the 

 same cause. Japanese barnyard millet, Hungarian grass, oats, 

 peas and rye are our principal forage crops ; condition good ; acre- 

 age no more than usual. Potatoes are in unusually good condi- 

 tion, but few have been dug; other market-garden crops look 

 well. Apples, except Baldwins, promise a full crop ; pears little 

 grown ; peaches a good crop ; plums fair ; grapes promise well. 

 Pastures are in unusually good condition. Rye is a good crop 

 and oats look well. Clear and hot weather is much needed. To- 

 bacco looks well. Onions promise well where stand is full. 



Southampton (C. B. Lyman). — Not much trouble with insects 

 other than potato bugs. Indian corn is looking very well but is 

 late. The hay crop is about average in quantity and of good 

 quality. Corn and millet are our principal forage crops ; rather 

 more than usual planted and condition fair. INIarket-garden 

 crops in good condition ; potatoes looking extra well but few dug 

 as yet. Apples and pears fair ; grapes plenty ; peaches and 

 quinces few. Pastures continue in good condition. Rye good, 

 oats extra and no barley raised. 



Williamsburg (F. C. Richards). — Potato bugs are doing some 

 damage. Corn is backward but is coming on well now; about 

 one-third of the crop will go into the silo. Oats and Hungarian 

 grass are our principal forage crops and they are in average con- 

 dition. Market-garden crops late but looking well ; potatoes fine. 

 Winter apples never promised finer quality, good size, free from 

 worms and promise to color up well. Pears half a crop ; peaches 

 90 per cent ; plums a full crop. Pasturage holds good. 



Goshen (Alvin Barrus). — Indian corn is generally late or 

 backward ; one-half the crop will go into the silo. The hay crop 

 was of light quantity but fair quality. Corn is our principal for- 

 age crop. No potatoes dug yet ; few or no market-garden crops 

 raised. Most fruits promise well. Pasturage is in excellent con- 

 dition, but pastures are lightly stocked as a rule. Rye, oats and 

 barley are rather below medium crops. 



Huntington (H. W. Sticknky). — Corn is backward. The hay 

 crop is better than it promised to be ten days ago, but there has 

 been so much rain that it has been almost impossible to make good 

 hay. Corn is our principal forage crop. The prospect was never 

 better for potatoes and garden crops. The prospect for the fruit 

 crop is better than usual and many apple trees need to be propped 

 up. Pasturage is in good condition. Rye, oats and barley are 

 fully as good as usual. 



Middlejield (J. T. Bryan). — Very little damage from insects. 

 Indian corn is very small and backward and little of it will ripen ;
