Wareham. — The season is at least two weeks backward, and 

 the summer has been unusually cold, particularly the nights. 

 Have suffered less from drought than usual, so that vegetation 

 looks well, but an early frost would be very disastrous. The 

 berry worm is doing some injury to cranberries.

 ber is a remarkable month will not ripen. Indications of blight 

 on some fields of potatoes, but most fields look finely. Baldwin 



apples are small but fair.

corn will mature in this vicinity before October 1st. Fall feed 



and rowen are growing rapidly M The potato crop will be light. 



No rot yet. (J rapes are in poor condition. Beaches are a light 



crop. Pastures never looked better than now. 



H. F. Haynes.

warm September the crop of sound corn will be light. Those 



who have silos are all right, as there is plenty of fodder. Apples 



are very smooth and sound.

the 20th all our corn can be harvested in good condition and be 



fully up to an average.
