dition and quality. The prospect is excellent for all root crops 

 and other late market-garden crops. Apples, pears, peaches, 

 grapes and cranberries have all turned out well. 



Stoiv (G. W. Bradley). — Corn is not as large a crop as in 

 previous years and does not ripen well. Rowen and fall feed are 

 a little below the average. About the usual amount of fall seeding 

 has been done and it is looking well. There is a large per cent 

 of thick necks in the onions I have seen. There is a good yield of 

 potatoes,- but some complaint of injury from grubs. Fruit of all 

 kinds has turned out well and brings fair prices. A good many 

 squashes were sown this season, but frost injured most of them. 



Littleton (G. W. Sanderson). — Indian corn is more than an 

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

 age. Less than the usual amount of fall seeding has been 

 done and its present condition is excellent. Onions are far below 

 the average. Owing to blight and rot the yield and quality of 

 potatoes are impaired. The prospect is good for root crops, celery 

 and other late market-garden crops. The apple crop is good in 

 quality but not as large as usual in bearing years ; small crop of 

 pears ; good crop of peaches ; grapes and cranberries much below 

 the average. 



Groton (Jas. P. Fitch). — Indian corn will be an average crop 

 if given a chance to ripen. Rowen and fall feed are above the 

 usual average. Potatoes made an average yield but are rotting. 

 No root crops raised to speak of. Apples a good crop ; no pears ; 

 peaches and grapes excellent. 



D^instahle (A. J. Gilson). — Corn is below the average in 

 quality but above in quantity. Rowen and fall feed are up to the 

 usual average. Onions are above the normal and of good quality. 

 In quantity potatoes are above the normal, but are far below it in 

 quality owing to rot. The prospect for root crops is good ; also 

 other garden crops. In this locality the apple crop is below the 

 normal ; no pears ; peaches a light crop ; grape crop not up to an 

 average ; cranberries a good crop. 



Carlisle (E. J. Carr). — Indian corn will be above the average 

 if the frost does not take it. Rowen is not quite up to the usual 

 average, but fall feed is above it. Onions are more than an average 

 crop. Potatoes were a big crop, but have rotted badly. Root 

 crops in general are good ; not much celery raised. There is a 

 good crop of all fruits except pears. 



Billerica (Geo. P. Greenavood). — Indiaii corn is very late and 

 unsatisfactory. There is about an average crop of rowen. The 

 onion crop is poor. Potatoes are above the normal in yield and 

 quality, but are rotting. Turnips poor ; celery good ; late cabbage
