NOTES OF CORRESPONDENTS. 



BERKSHIRE COUNTY. 



Dalton. — Cider apples are delivered to cider mill for six cents 

 a bushel ; cider selling at the mill for five cents per gallon. Rye 

 thin, and not much has been sowed, as the weather has been too 

 rainy. 



H. A. Barton, Jr. 



Great Barrington. — Frost early in September, with almost 

 incessant rain throughout October, has seriously impaired most of 

 the late fall crops. 



M. I. Wheeler. 



South Egremont. — Weather wet and cold ; so much so that 

 hardly a farmer in this locality has gathered his corn. Potatoes 

 badly rotted in some fields, and rot is the general complaint of all - 



C. B. Benedict. 



South William stown. — Continual rains have nearly spoiled the 

 corn stover, and the early frosts killed many fields that were planted 

 late or on late laud. Pastures have kept fresh. Seeding looks 

 well. Weather cold and fall work badly behind. 



S. A. IIkkox. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



North Dartmouth. — Corn very wet; some husked, but in great 

 danger of moulding, on account of so much wet weather. Some 

 are still trying to gather rowen at date, but it is badly frosted. 



L. T. Davis. 



Swansea. — October very cold and wet. 



J. E. Eastabrooks.
