Canton (E. V. Kikslev). — Cora is very thrifty, but back- 

 vvarcl ; all fodder has made great growth. Roweti promises to be 

 a full crop. Late potatoes look prime, with no blight or rot as 

 yet. Apples, grapes and cranberries will give full crops ; pears 

 and peaches light. Pasturage is only in fair condition. Outs and 

 barley are about average crops. Vegetation has made luxuriant 

 growth, but the cool nights have retarded ripening. 



Walpole (E. L. Shepaud) . — Corn is late and backward. Roweu 

 is a very good crop, but is not up to ordinary years. Late potatoes 

 look well and I have not noticed blight or rot. Apples good ; 

 pears and peaches half crops ; grapes fair ; cranberries light. 

 Pasturage is rather short, but better than in ordinary years. Oats 

 and barley are about average crops. 



Norfolk (A. D. Towne). — Indian corn is two weeks late, but 

 otherwise looks well. Where the first crop was cut early there is 

 a good prospect for rowcn. Late potatoes look well, although a 

 few have blighted. Apples are a full crop ; pears light; peaches 

 and grapes good. Pasturage is in better condition than usual. 

 Oats for forage have given a fair crop. 



Millis {Yj. F. Richakdsox). — Indian corn is very backward. 

 The prospect for rowen is good. Potatoes promise a good crop, 

 with no blight or rot as yet. Apples and grapes will give big 

 crops ; pears and peaches fair ; cranberries poor. Pasturage is in 

 fair condition. Oats and barley have made better than average 

 yields. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Easton (FI. JI. Thompson). — Corn is making good headway, 

 and, although a trifle late, will be a good crop. Good weather 

 conditions will make rowen compare very favorably with a normal 

 crop, the clovers in it being much more pronounced than usual. 

 Notwithstanding the blight and' white grubs, late potatoes will be 

 a good crop. Apples are filling out well, autl will be plenty ; 

 pears very light ; peaches promised well, but of late have remained 

 at a standstill, the fruit seeming to refuse to develop ; grapes fair ; 

 cranberries promise well. Pasturage is in fair condition. Oats 

 and barley are good crops. The raising of cucumbers under glass 

 here seems to be a growing business, over 2,000 feet of houses 

 being in operation, with more promised at East Mansfield. 



Attleborongh (Isaac Algek)- — Indian corn is in good con- 

 dition. Rowen promises to give a good crop. Potatoes a fine 

 crop. Apples and grapes are abundant, but cranberries will be a 

 small crop. Pasturage is in excellent condition. Oats and barley 

 are full average crops.
