DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tisbury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Potato bugs and squash bugs 

 are doing some damage. Corn is in fine condition and only a small 

 proportion of the crop will be put into the silo. There was a good 

 average crop of hay of first-class quality. Corn is the principal forage 

 crop grown. Market-garden crops are below the average, and unless 

 we have rain soon will be a failure. The prospect is poor for all fruits. 

 Pastures have been good up to the present time, but are now drying 

 up. Oats are a poor crop. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (H. G. Worth). — Potato bugs are doing some damage. 

 Corn is in good condition ; no silos in this county. There was a good 

 crop of hay, fully up to the average. Oats and corn are the principal 

 forage crops grown. Market-garden crops are doing well and prices 

 are fully up to the normal. Cranberries promise a good yield. Since 

 the rains the pastures are in good condition. Rye, oats and barley are 

 normal crops.
