PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Halifax. —The spring has been very late, but crops arc at date 

 nearly as far advanced as usual. Potatoes and grass bid fair for 

 a very heavy crop. Corn is looking well, 



( . \\ . I 1 \ Y\\ AIM). 



Hingham. — Corn needs hot weather ; the cool nights have kept 

 it hack, though there is yet time for it to recover, Crass promises 

 to be our best crop this year. Potatoes are not quite up to last 

 year at this time, but the harvest may be much better.

VY< >i;< ESTER COUNTY. 



Barre. — Corn has been much troubled by crows. The stand of 



most plants is an average. 



B. W. Washburn. 



Bolton. — A hail storm passed over one-third of this town June 

 .'!<», doing apparently considerable damage to the crops and to 

 fruit trees. The onion maggot is doing more damage than usual. 

 Crops of all kinds are late, on account of wet weather. 



Marshall Walcott. 



Bolton. — The severest hail storm that was ever known passed 

 over a portion of this town Saturday, June 30, at 5 p. m., com- 

 pletely destroying all hoed crops and badly affecting apples. I 

 think the storm was not over three-fourths of a mile wide. The 

 wind blew a gale. 



II. F. Haynes. 



Douglas. — Potato bugs and cut worms numerous and aggress- 

 ive. Crops generally rather late. 



V. T. Esten. 



Gardner. — The weather has been remarkably wet, and grass 

 f and all hoed crops, excepting corn, look finely.
