Colrain (A. A. Smith). — Corn is very mucli less than an avenige 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. The usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in good condition. 

 Onions are a normal crop. Potatoes are much below the normal in 

 yield and quality. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden 

 crops are up to the average. Fruit of all kinds is good. 



Shelhurne. (Geo. E. Taylor). — Corn is maturing fast and a 

 week of warm weather will secure a good yield of sound corn ; 

 some fields badly injured by grubs. Rowen is not a full crop, but 

 pastures are in good condition. The usual amount of fall seeding 

 has been done and it looks exceedingly well. Potatoes are below 

 the normal in yield, but of good quality. Apples are a very fine 

 crop ; pears, peaches and grapes short. 



GUI (F. F. Stoughton). — Indian corn is less than an average 

 crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual average. Potatoes 

 have made a good yield, but have I'otted badly. There is a good 

 crop of apples ; grapes do not ripen. 



Deerjield (Chas. Jones). — Indian corn is two weeks late and 

 has come forward slowly in the recent cool weather. Rowen is a 

 fair crop where the first crop was taken off earlj', but is a light 

 crop as a whole. About the usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done and it is looking well. Onions are a small crop, but are curl- 

 ing fairly well. Potatoes are a fair crop, but show some blight 

 and rot. The prospect is good for root crops, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops. Apples are a fair crop ; pears, peaches 

 and grapes small crops. Tobacco is all on the poles and is a very 

 fine crop. 



Sunderland (J. M. J. Lagate). — Corn is far below the average, 

 not half a crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the average, rowen 

 especially. There has been the usual amount of seeding done and 

 it is looking well. There is a large onion acreage, but a consider- 

 able proportion of the acres planted will amount to little ; prob- 

 ably there will not be over half a crop as a whole. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops are but little raised, but 

 what there are look well. Apples are fully up to the average ; what 

 few pears, peaches and grapes there are are a little above the aver- 

 age. Tobacco is the best crop in this vicinity, as it went into 

 the barns a perfect leaf and is curing a fine, silky, light-colored 

 leaf. It is the most perfect crop I ever saw and should bring a 

 fancy price. 



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

 we will not harvest over half a crop. There is but little rowen, 

 but fall feed is good. But very little seeding has been done. 

 Potatoes are a large yield of good quality. Root crops, celery
