PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Norwell (H. A. Turner). — Very few insects are troubling us. 

 Indian corn is late and small, with about the usual acreage. Haying 

 has hardly begun, but the prospect is for a good crop. Potatoes are 

 looking finely, and promise a normal crop. Market-garden crops are 

 late, and it is difficult to say how they will turn out. The quantity and 

 price of dairy products are about the same as usual. Pasturage is in 

 good condition, but rain is needed. The outlook is good for berries, 

 particularly strawberries. 



West Bridgewater (Clinton P. Howard). — Canker worms are doing 

 the most damage of any insect, but none are very destructive. Corn 

 came up badly, and much of it will have to be planted over. Haying 

 is about to begin, and the crop is the best for many years. Potatoes 

 are looking well, with about the usual acreage. All vegetables are 

 very late, and those planted early are poor yields. Prices for dairy 

 products are a very Httle higher than last year. Feed in pastures 

 could not be better than at present. All fruit trees blossomed full, 

 and now promise large yields; strawberries will be plenty about July 1. 



Pembroke (Nathaniel Morton). — No insects are doing any dam- 

 age. Acreage of Indian corn very small, and crop in poor condition. 

 Haying is just commencing in this locality, with a good crop. Acreage 

 of early potatoes about as usual, and they promise fairly well. There 

 are no early market-garden crops, and the prospect is not good for 

 later ones. The quantity and price of dairy products is less than in 

 former years. Pasturage is in good condition. Strawberries promise 

 a fair crop. 



Kingston (George L. Churchill). — ^ Potato bugs are doing some 

 damage. Indian corn is very backward, and not much has been 

 planted. Haying has not 3^et begun,, but there will be a fair crop of 

 hay. The acreage of early potatoes is about the same as last year, 

 and they now promise fairly well. The yield of early market-garden 

 crops is very fair, with prices about as usual. Quantity and price of 

 dairy products about as in former years. Pasturage is in very good 

 condition. There is a fair prospect for fruits and berries. 



Bridgewater (Rowland Cass). — Potato bugs and cut worms are 

 doing some damage. Indian corn is late, with about the usual acreage. 

 Haying has commenced, with a fair prospect for the crop. There is a 

 reduced acreage of earlj' potatoes, and they are very backward. 

 Market-garden crops are good average crops, with the prospect good 

 for those not yet harvested. Dairy products are a good average both 

 in quantitj' and price. Pasturage is in good condition. 



Rochester (Geo. H. Randall). — Cut worms and currant worms are
