Blandjord. — Owing to the wet, late spring and continuous 

 showers the grass crop is heavy, with much fine white clover. 

 Corn stands well but late. Potatoes promise a good yield though 

 planted late. Pastures are good and stock is thriving well. 



E W. Boise. 



Bri infield. — Hay a good crop, but it grew so much in the shade 

 and there was so much rain it will not keep as much stock as last 

 year. Rowen begins to look well. Everything looks well. 



S. W. Brown. 



Hampden. — As an index of the season white clover blossoms 

 may be seen in abundance in the pastures, something unusual 

 at this late date. 



J. N. ISHAM. 



Long-meadow. — Apples none to speak of. Corn is looking 

 well. Potatoes bid fair. Hay is good and heavy. Rye an 

 average crop. Oats small and light. Our pastures hold good. 



E. H. Wheelock. 



West Springfield. — All crops doing well. Potatoes better than 

 usual. Corn promising. Apples abundant in spots. 



J. N. Bagg. 



Wilbraham. — Corn is backward, and unless August is a warm 

 mouth the crop will be light. 



H. M. Bliss. 



Wilbraham. — Indian corn is not up to the average, we have 

 had too much wet and too little heat; on low lands, especially, it 

 is looking cpiite spindling and yellow. Rye and oats are more 

 than average crop. Pastures have been remarkably good. Pota- 

 toes are looking finely where the bugs, which have been very 



plenty, have been kept off

HAMPSHIRE COUNTY. 



Amherst. • — Too much rain for low lands, but on dry and sandy 

 land crops are looking finely.
