North Broolcfield. — Corn is late, and some fields are not cut 

 yet. We have bad no frosts till within the last three days. This 

 is a dairy section and no attention is given to special crops. 

 Apples are not picked yet. Very wet weather for the past two 

 weeks. 



A. C. Stoddard. 



North Grafton. — Potatoes are rotting badly. Heavy frosts 

 have killed grapes and cranberries. 



M. L. Rice. 



Oakham. — The corn crop was badly injured by the early frosts, 

 especially on low lands. Potatoes are fair, with no rot. There is 

 a large crop of apples, with no market for the fall varieties, and no 

 price is yet set for the winter fruit. The heavy rains we have had 

 the last of the month are bad for curing rowen and corn stover. 

 Locusts are plenty in mowings and pastures. 



W. M. Robinson. 



Paxton. — Corn has been badly injured by frosts, especially the 

 stover. Late potatoes have done well, and are selling at from 

 sixty-five cents to seventy-five cents per bushel. 



H. H. Pike. 



Petersham. — Late hard frosts have injured corn somewhat, and 

 rot has seriously injured the potato crop. Late heavy rains have 

 favored rot in the field and it is likely to continue in the cellar. 



S. B. Cook. 



Southborough. — The heavy frost on September 7 did much 

 damage to stover and ensilage. We have had now fifteen days 

 of dull, cold weather, making it almost impossible to handle laud 

 or crops. 



C. L. Fairbanks. 



Soutli Lancaster. — Indian corn badly frosted, but stover hurt 

 most. Early potatoes are in good condition. Late potatoes are 

 injured by rains. Ensilage badly frosted.
