Hinsdale (Alfred N. Warren). — Corn is about three-fourths of a 

 full crop, but of good quality. Sugar beets and cabbages are fine crops 

 of large size. Stock in general is looking finely. What little fall seeding 

 was sown looks finely. Prices are higher for farm crops than usual. 

 Potatoes, cabbages and apples were our most profitable crops, yields 

 not large but prices good. Oats have proved our least profitable crop. 

 Considered as a whole, the season has been a profitable one for our 

 farmers. Streams, springs and wells have recovered from the drought. 



Dalton (Wesley B. Barton). — The corn crop is 70 per cent of the 

 normal in value. Root crops are up to the usual average. Farm stock 

 is in fair condition. Fall seeding is in good condition. Prices for farm 

 crops have been better than usual. Market-garden crops have been 

 our most profitable crops and potatoes our least profitable one. Con- 

 sidered as a whole the season has been a profitable one for our farmers. 

 Fall feed has been extremely good. Milch cows are extremely high; 

 other stock low. Streams, springs and wells are full. 



Windsor (Harry A. Ford) . — Indian corn is not over 80 per cent of 

 a normal crop. Root crops have proved average yields. Farm stock is 

 in good condition. There has been no fall seeding. Potatoes have been 

 our most profitable crop, and apples our least profitable one. The 

 season has not been a normal year for profit. Streams, springs and 

 wells have recovered from drought. 



Cheshire (L. J. Northup). — The corn crop is about 75 per cent of 

 the normal. Root crops are average yields. Farm stock is in good con- 

 dition. Not much fall seeding was done, but it looks well since the 

 rains. Prices for crops are well maintained and compare well with 

 former years. Hay has been our most profitable crop and potatoes our 

 least profitable one. So far as dairy products are concerned the season 

 has been a normal one for profit. Feed in pastures is much better now 

 than in August and mowing land has much improved. Streams, 

 springs and wells have recovered from the effects of drought. 



Williamstown (S. A. Hickox). — Corn is 85 per cent of a normal 

 crop. Root crops are up to the average. Farm stock is in normal con- 

 dition. Fall seeding is in good condition. Prices for crops raised for 

 market maintain a good average. Hay has been our most profitable 

 crop and early potatoes our least profitable one. The season has been 

 a profitable one, except for those farmers whose main reliance is on the 

 early potato crop. Streams, springs and wells have recovered from the 

 effects of drought.
