on moist land, it is in very poor condition. Onions are a fairly good 

 crop. Potatoes are a poor yield. Celery is generally very small, 

 and most root crops are poor. There are very light yields of fruit, 

 except cranberries, which are 70 per cent of a full yield. Not many 

 apple trees have been set out of late years. 



Carlisle (Alvah Carr). — Indian corn is not quite a normal crop. 

 There will be a very light crop of rowen, owing to drought. Less than 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done, owing to dry weather, 

 and that jjut in has come up very poorly. Onions are not quite a 

 normal crop. Potatoes are of good ciuality, with about half a crop. 

 There are very few root crops on account of dry weather. There are 

 few apples and pears; no peaches; grapes and cranberries fair. Not 

 many apple trees have been set out in recent years. Feed is very 

 scarce and high, cows also scarce and high, and with the scarcity of 

 help many farmers are selling their stock down to what they can take 

 care of themselves. 



Concord (Wm. H. Hunt). — Indian corn will be below the average. 

 The rowen crop will be small. The usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done, and it is looking well. Potatoes are of good quality, but 

 light in yield. Market-garden crops are generally doing well. Apples 

 are light and poor; few pears; no peaches; some grapes and cran- 

 berries. Some few apple trees have been set, somewhat more than 

 enough to replace the old trees. 



Winchester (S. S. Symmes) . — Indian corn is not raised. Rowen 

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

 Potatoes are of good quality, but a light crop. Root crops very poor, 

 and celery small. There is a very small crop of fruit, and almost no 

 peaches. No apple trees have been set in recent years. The rains 

 came so late that turnips and other late crops cannot grow to full 

 crops. Pastures have now some feed. 



Stoneham (J. E. Wiley) . — Indian corn is very little raised. Rowen 

 and fall feed are not up to the usual average. The usual amount of 

 fall seeding has been done, but it is not very far advanced as yet. 

 Onions are a fair average crop. Potatoes are a small crop, of good 

 quality. The prospect is good for root crops, celery and other late 

 market-garden crops. Apples and pears are fair crops, and grapes 

 a good crop. No apple trees have been set out in recent years. 



Westoji (Henry L. Brown). — Indian corn is very little grown. 

 There is not much rowen, but fall feed is good. About the usual 

 amount of fall seeding has been done, but not much has come up as 

 yet. Some growers report potatoes of good quality but few in the 

 hill, others that they are all small. Roots are backward; celery poor; 

 cabbage and other late crops backward. There are very few apples, 

 as they dropped badly; pears a small crop; no peaches; grapes and 

 cranberries little grown. No apple trees have been set out of recent 

 years.
