NOTES OF CORRESPONDENTS. 



BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



East Dennis. — Wet weather has interfered with the harvesting 

 of the cranberry crop and but a small portion has been gathered. 

 There has also been some damage from frost. Indications are 

 that the crop will be considerably less than last year. 



Joshua Crowell. 



East Sandwich. — The gale of the 26th blew corn down badly 

 and blew off most of the fruit. The uncommonly wet fall has 

 delayed harvesting, especially of cranberries, which have already 

 been frosted some on dry bogs. 



J. R. Holway. 



BERKSHIRE COUNTY. 



Becket. — Corn and rowen much damaged by frost and wet 

 weather. 



W. H. Snow. 



Dalton. — Frequent rains. The springs and streams are full. 

 The two early frosts in September injured the corn crop badly. 



H. A. Barton, Jr. 



Hinsdale. — Much rain has damaged the crops of beans and 

 rowen. Potatoes are rotting after they are in the cellar. Cab- 

 bages are extra good, and are worth but five or six cents per head. 



T. F. Barker. 



Savoy Centre. — The heavy frosts of the 6th and 7th of Sep- 

 tember caused great damage to many crops, especially corn, both 

 field and fodder. Field corn is a failure. Some are digging 

 potatoes, and they come out fairly and free from rot. Turnips are 

 looking finely. Apples are quite abundant. On account of the 

 July drought there is very little rowen. Some pieces of late Hun- 

 garian were badly seared by the frosts.
