Excerpt from Massachusetts Crop Report, 1891 With this number commences the series of crop reports for the season of 1891. It is the intent to issue at least six monthly bulletins during the season. These bulletins are compiled from data received from selected correspondents in different parts of the State by means of blanks sent to them monthly. For this issue one hundred and sixty such blanks were sent out. Arrangements have also been made with weather observers in some seventeen localities in the State, and their data is received and compiled by an expert in such matters. The bulletins will be mailed as issued to those who have received them in past seasons and to any others who make application for them. It is believed this kind of work is of value to those engaged in agricultural pursuits, and every effort will be made to make it as valuable as possible. In the circular to correspondents returnable to this office May 28 the first question asked was, How does the present season compare, agriculturally speaking, with last season? Replies to this question were quite varied, and it is difficult to classify them. The general opinion seemed to be that the month of June this year opens under less favorable conditions, agriculturally speaking, than it did last year. The month of April was quite favorable. The month of May, 1890, was cool and wet, and several frosts occurred. This year May was decidedly cool and dry, with occasional frosts, which did considerable damage to fruit and early crops in many sections of the State.
