 damage. Indian corn is in very good condition ; there are only a 

 few silos in town. Hay is nearly a full crop and the quality is 

 good. Corn is our principal forage crop, is in good condition and 

 much more is raised than usual. Market-garden crops are in good 

 condition ; cabbages very plenty and prices low ; potatoes are a 

 heavy crop with fair prices. Apples, pears and peaches promise 

 a good yield. Late rains have put pastures in good condition. 



Acushnet (M. S. Douglas). — "White grubs are working badly. 

 Corn is in good condition and growing fast ; a very small propor-

 forage crops ; condition fairly good and about the usual amount 

 raised. All market-garden crops have done exceedingly well ; 

 potatoes will be a big crop and prices have fallen. There will be 

 plenty of apples and grapes ; pears, peaches, plums and quinces 

 scarce. Pastures are in good condition. Rye, oats and barley are 

 very good crops.

 A large crop of potatoes is promised with prices low. There will 

 be a large crop of apples in all sections. Pastures are in good 

 condition. Oats and barley are cut green for forage.

 are our principal forage crops ; condition good and no more than 

 usual raised. Market-garden crops are in good condition. There
