South Ashland, — The excessive ruins this fall have hurt coin 

 and the fodders. Coin docs not dry out well. The fodder, which 

 farmers in this vicinity place a great value upon, will not average 

 fifty.

Stow. — The wet weather has retarded the harvesting of all 

 crops. Corn has been scarcely dry enough to husk. The apple 

 crop is very large here. Fall feed is good. But little seeding has 

 been done.

Wakefield. — Harvesting season very unfavorable. Our cran- 

 berry crop a total failure; what the frosts left are under water. 



W. F. Young. 



Wilmington. — The apple crop is abundant, and of better quality 

 than for the past two years. The corn crop nearly a failure.

 days in succession are appreciated.

 some, it being so wet. The crop as a whole is very nice in quality 

 and yield. Corn crop turned out poorly, and did not till up well ;

East Wareham. — The weather of October was but little, if any, 

 better than that of September, being cold and wet, and delaying 

 harvesting and injuring forage. The only compensation was in 

 the excellence of pasturage and the good condition of new seeding.
