average crop. Eowen and fall feed are not up to the usual aver- 

 age. Onions are a better crop than usual. The yield of potatoes 

 is about normal, but the quality is poor on account of rot. The 

 prospect for root crops, celery and late market-garden crops is 

 ver}- good. Apples, pears, peaches and grapes are in excess of 

 the normal ; cranberries about 60 per cent of an average crop. 



Carver (J. A. Vaughan). — Indian corn is an average crop. 

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

 is a good average one. Potatoes made an extra large yield and 

 are of good quality. The prospect for root crops, celery and other 

 late market-garden crops is good. There is a good apple crop, 

 some peaches and a few pears. The cranberry crop is nearly all 

 harvested and will not be half as large as last year. 



Lakeville (N. G. Staples) . — Indian corn is a fair crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are not quite up to the usual average. Onions are 

 a little better than a normal crop. Potatoes are a good crop in 

 yield and quality. Apples abundant ; pears few ; peaches extra ; 

 cranberries good ; grapes extra. 



Rochester (Geo. H. Randall). — Corn is perhaps half of an av- 

 erage crop, owing to drought and cold nights. Rowen and fall 

 feed are below the average owing to drought. Onions are a good 

 crop. Potatoes are extra good in yield and quality. Root crops, 

 celery and other late market-garden crops will be very light. Fruit 

 is very good with the exception of pears. Cranberries very good 

 on some bogs and very light on others. 



BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Bourne (D. D. Nye).- — Indian corn is a good crop. Rowen 

 and fall feed are better than last year. About the usual amount 

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

 Onions are little raised. Potatoes are doing finely as a general 

 thiug. The prospect for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops is very good. Apples better than last year ; pears 

 about average ; very few peaches and grapes ; cranberries better 

 than last year on some bogs and not as good on others. 



Maslipee (W. F. Hammond). — There is about an average crop 

 of Indian corn. Rowen and fall feed are up to the usual average. 

 The onion crop is below the average. Potatoes are above the 

 average in yield and quality. Root crops and late market-garden 

 crops will be above an average yield. Apples, pears and peaches 

 half-crops ; cranberries a three-eighths crop. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell). — Indian corn is below the average. 

 Rowen and fall feed are not up to the usual average. Very little
