Marlborough. — Crops of all kinds are doing well, though back- 

 ward. Apples, a fair crop. Pears few. Corn looking well and 

 growing fast. Potatoes, quality first rate ; quantity fair. 



W. H. Felton. 



Sherborn. — Early potatoes are very good. Some fields of late 



ones have blasted, but I think there will be an average crop. The 



Mountain Rose peaches are about two weeks late. The Early 



Crawfords are just commencing to turn. Last year at this date 



the Mountain Rose were all gone and the Early Crawfords were 



just in their prime. 



F. T. Daniels. 



Sotith Sudbury. — The abundant and copious rainfall during 

 August has greatly improved the condition of crops. Pastures 

 are short of feed by reason of the July drought, and the ciop of 

 rowen will be below the average, except in newly seeded fields, 

 where the crop is heavy. Apples will be an average crop. 



H. N. Smith. 



Stow. — Corn is nearly ready to shook. Late potatoes, I think, 

 will be better than was thought a month ago. We have had plenty 

 of rain and cool weather. No frost yet. 



A. M. Coding. 



Wilmington. — The season continues favorable, although corn 

 is late in maturing. Potatoes a good yield and extra in quality. 

 The cultivation of cranberries is a growing industry in this town 

 and bids fair to be a paying one. No appearance of frost yet. 

 Pastures better than usual at this season of the year.

NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket. — Potatoes are extra in quality and quantity. Potato 

 bugs not as plenty as in the past. Corn looking fair, but needs 

 more hot weather. Oats are all cut for fodder. The crop was 

 very heavy. Hay crop not as good as expected. Very cool 

 weather for the month.
