Aldington - Apples are a failure; trees have suffered from blight. Pears scarce. Plums: Victorias very scarce, Pershores, on high ground, a fair crop, low-lying ground scarcely any; damsons a very poor crop. Cherries a failure. Hay and clover good crop, and got well. Wheat an average crop. Beans, looking well. Peas fair crop; grey peas looking well. Oats and mangels looking well. No hops grown here. A H Butler.
Badsey - The hay crop is larger than has been grown for some years and has been secured in good condition. Corn, roots, and hops are scarcely grown in this parish at the present time, and therefore require no remark. As regards fruits, apples and pears are a practical failure, the crop being probably less than in the leak are very thin, generally speaking, although here and there a sprinkling may be seen. Of small fruits, gooseberries have borne fairly well, but currants have suffered from late frosts, blight and insect pests. Altogether fruit of all kinds may be considered a very under average crop this season. JS.
