will be more than an average crop where the first crop was cut 

 early. Potatoes promise a large crop, but are affected by both 

 blight and rot. Apples and peaches good ; pears and grapes 

 doubtful ; cranberries not raised. Pastures are in good condition. 

 Oats and barle}' are fair crops. 



Shelburne (Geo. E. Taylor). — Corn is ten days late, and much 

 below the average in condition. Rowen will be more than a nor- 

 mal crop. Late potatoes promise a fair yield ; some blight, but no 

 rot as yet. Apples are of fair quality, but there will be no sur- 

 plus. Nights are so cold that crops cannot grow, and corn needs 

 a month of good, warm weather. 



Deerjield (Chas. Jones). — Indian corn is late, and will not be 

 an average crop on wet land. Rowen will be a fair crop where 

 the first crop was cut early. Potatoes are good, but blight has 

 appeared on some fields, and a little rot also. Tobacco is a fine, 

 clean crop, but is a little late. Apples and grapes fair crops ; few 

 pears and peaches. Pastures are in extra good condition for this 

 time of year. Oats are an extra crop. All crops are looking 

 fairly, but need more sun and warmer weather. • 



Whately (Frank Dickinson). — Indian corn is poor and late. 

 Rowen will be above an average crop. Late potatoes promise a 

 good crop, although there is some rot on a few fields. Acreage 

 of tobacco full, and condition good. Apples good ; few pears. 

 Pasturage is in good condition. Oats are a heavy crop. 



Sunderland (J. M. J. Legate). — Corn is very backward, and 

 we must have a warm September to I'ipen the greater part of it. 

 Rowen is above an average crop. Potatoes are looking finely, 

 with no sign of blight or rot. There is an increased acreage of 

 tobacco, and the crop in the fields never looked finer. Apples and 

 pears are below average ; grapes are looking well. Pastures are 

 in fine condition, as there has been no lack of rain at any season 

 of the year. Oats are looking well. 



Montague (C. S. Raymond). — Corn seems to be earing well, 

 but is so late it can hardly be called in fair condition. Rowen is 

 in fine condition, and promises more than a normal crop. There 

 is blight on all potatoes, but no rot to speak of. The acreage of 

 tobacco is increased a third, and the crop promises to be the best 

 for a number of years. Apples and pears about medium crops ; 

 peaches and grapes fair. Pasturage is in good condition. Oats 

 and barley only raised for green feed. 



Wendell (N. D. Plumb). — Indian corn is very backward. 

 The first crop of hay was cut so late that there will be very little 

 rowen. Farmers are complaining of blight and rot on potatoes. 

 The apple crop is above the normal ; peaches and pears fair aver-
