 and uneven in others. Kowen and fall feed are up to the usual 

 average. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done and is 

 in good condition. Onions are a good crop. There is a good yield 

 of potatoes, but some rot. Root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops promise very well. Apples good ; pears scarce ; 

 peaches plenty ; grapes fair. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



liandoljjh (R. A. Thayek). — Indian corn is about two- thirds 

 of an average crop. Rowen is three-fourths of a crop and fall 

 feed about as usual. The weather has been good for fall seeding 

 and the young grass is promising. Onions are about 80 per cent 

 of a full crop. There is a full crop of potatoes of a fine quality. 

 Celery very fine ; squashes about half a crop ; tomatoes do not 

 ripen well ; other market-garden crops as usual. Apples good ; 

 pears half a crop ; peaches good ; grapes plent}' but do not ripen 

 well ; potatoes are rotting very badly. 



Sloughton (C. F. Curtis). — Corn grown for grain from early 

 planting will yield an average crop ; silo corn will not have the 

 ears filled out as usual. The rowen crop is short, but fall feed is 

 up to the average. Fall seeding is behind hand, but what has been 

 put in is doing better than usual. Apples are doing well ; grapes 

 late in ripening. 



Canton {¥.. V. Kinsley). — Corn is a fair average crop, but is 

 ripening slowly. Rowen is rather light, but fall feed is coming 

 along finely. The usual amount of fall seeding has been done, a 

 very good stand being made, winter rye doing very well. Onions 

 are au average crop. All late crops, including beets and turnips, 

 are very vigorous and promise well. Apples not gathered, a great 

 crop on the trees ; pears light ; peaches and grapes good ; cran- 

 berries light. 



Wuljyole (E. L. SiiKrARi)). — Indian corn is below the average, 

 plenty of fodder, but few oars. Rowen and fall feed are up to the 

 usual average. The usual amount of fall seediug has not been done, 

 but its condition is fair. Onions are not raised. Potatoes are 

 good crops in yield and quality. Root crops are not up to the 

 normal and late garden crops are poor. Apples, jjeached and 

 grapes good ; pears light ; cranberries very poor. 



Norfolk (A. D. Towne). — Corn is not cut as yet and will 

 hardly be an average crop ; some damage from frost. On moist 

 land rowen has been good but on dry land there is none ; fall feed 

 is in rather poor condition. Onions are a better crop tiian usual.
