Onions are about a normal crop. Potatoes are about normal, both in 

 yield and quality. Root crops are good; no celery raised. There 

 is a very small crop of fruits; apples poor in qualit)^; cranberries 

 fair. There have been some apple trees set out each year, but no 

 large orchards. 



Hxihhardston (Chas. C. Colby). — Indian corn is very late in ripen- 

 ing, and will be about 80 per cent of a normal crop. Very little rowen 

 will be cut, and fall feed is very poor. Potatoes are a little below 

 normal in yield, but excellent in quality. There is a poor crop of 

 apples. Very little attention is paid to fruit, only small numbers of 

 trees having been set out. 



Templeton (Lucien Gove). — Indian corn is a light crop, not over 

 80 per cent of the normal. Rowen and fall feed are very light indeed. 

 Very little, if any, fall seeding has been done. Potatoes are of good 

 quality, but the yield is light and below the average. Apples a light 

 crop of poor quality; pears very light; no peaches; grapes very 

 late. There is no interest in setting out new apple orchards as they 

 are considered unprofitable. 



Westminster (A. E. Hurd). — Corn is a three-fourths crop, the dry, 

 cold weather making it very backward. Rowen is almost a failure; 

 fall feed light, but improved since rains. There was not quite the 

 usual amount of fall seeding done, but it is fairly well started. Pota- 

 toes are about 65 per cent of a normal crop in yield; quality good, 

 and almost no blight or rot. Root crops are little grown. Apples 

 small, poor and a short crop; pears light; no peaches; grapes fair; 

 cranberries few. Perhaps enough apple trees are set out each year 

 to replace old ones dying, but this is doubtful. 



Fiichhurg (Dr. Jabez Fisher). — The rowen crop is trifling, and 

 fall feed scant. A considerable number of apple trees have been 

 set in new orchards, and some to replace old trees. Apples will be 

 about 2-5 per cent of a full crop, of good quality, and pears about the 

 same. Grapes are looking finely, but can hardly mature before hard 

 frosts. 



Princeton (A. 0. Tyler). — Indian corn is about half a normal crop. 

 There is very little rowen; fall feed fairly good. No fall seeding has 

 been done as yet. Potatoes are about half a crop, of fair quality. 

 The prospect is good for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops. Apples are about half a crop; pears and grapes good; 

 no peaches; cranberries very few. A few apple trees have been 

 reset, probably not enough to replace the old ones that are dying out. 



Sterling (Henry S. Sawyer). — Indian corn is not a normal crop. 

 Very little rowen will be cut ; fall feed much improved since the rains. 

 About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, but its growth 

 has been checked by drought. There is a fairly good crop of potatoes, 

 of good quality. There will be fair yields of beets and carrots. There 

 is a fair crop of apples, pears and grapes.
