Holland (Francis Wight). — Indian corn is very nearly a normal 

 crop. The rowen crop and fall feed are not up to the usual average. 

 Not much fall seeding has been done about here. Onions are not up 

 to a normal crop. Potatoes are up to the normal in yield about here. 

 Root crops, celery and late market-garden crops are about in average 

 condition. Aj^ples, pears, grapes and cranberries have turned out 

 fairly well. Not many apple trees have been set out in recent years. 



WORCESTER COUNTY. 



Warren (W. E. Patrick). — Indian corn is not over 50 per cent of 

 a normal crop. Very little rowen will be cut; fall feed is improving. 

 Fall seeding is late on account of the dry weather, and has not yet 

 germinated. Potatoes are very uneven, some fields good, even extra 

 good, and others very poor; altogether the crop is below the normal. 

 There are very few apples; pears a small crop; no peaches; grapes 

 a fair crop, but very late. Some apple trees are set out every year to 

 replace old orchards, and also to increase the number, but no large 

 orchards. 



Brookfield (Frank E. Prouty). — Indian corn is about a two- 

 thirds crop. There is no rowen, but fall feed is growing now. About 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, and it is just begin- 

 ning to come up. Onions are little raised here. Potatoes are not over 

 half a crop. Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops 

 have been hurt by drought. Apples half a crop; pears half a crop; 

 no peaches or cranberries; grapes a fair crop. Quite good a many 

 apple trees have been set out in recent years. 



West Brookfield (Myron A. Richardson). — Corn is good in places, 

 but late and below normal as a whole. The rowen crop is an entire 

 failure. Seeding in corn is coming on since the drought was broken. 

 Potatoes are below normal in quantity, but of good quality. The 

 turnip crop is a failure, on account of the dry season. Fall apples are 

 few and poor, but there will be about the usual crop of winter apples; 

 grapes are abundant. Some new orchards of both apples and peaches 

 have been set out, and quite a deal of replacing done. 



Barre (John L. Smith). — Corn is httle grown except for the silo, 

 and is uneven and hardly up to the average. There is very little 

 rowen, and fall feed is also short. The usual amount of fall seeding 

 has been done, but it is late and does not show much yet. Potatoes 

 are a good yield; no rot and quality good. Apples are half a crop, 

 but more than usual for an off year. Not many apple trees have been 

 set out recently; a few small orchards. 



Dana (Lyman Randall) . — Corn has grown fast since the rains, 

 and will be a fair crop, though perhaps not quite up to the normal. 

 Rowen will not be half a crop ; fall feed fairly good. About the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, and it looks very promising.
