Littleton (Geo. W. Sanderson). — The corn crop is below the 

 normal in value. Root crops are below average in both quantity and 

 price. Farm stock is in good condition. Late rains have improved 

 fall seeding. Apples and pears brought better prices than last year. 

 Apples have been our most profitable crop and potatoes our least 

 profitable one. Considered as a whole, the season has been a profitable 

 one. Streams, springs and wells have not entirely recovered from 

 drought. 



Westford (J. W. Fletcher). — Indian corn was damaged by frost. 

 Root crops are up to the usual average. Farm stock is in good con- 

 dition. Fall seeding is in the best condition. Apples have been our 

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

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

 Streams, springs and wells have not recovered from the effects of 

 drought. 



Townseiid (G. A. Wilder). — The corn crop is about as usual in 

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

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

 grown for market have been higher than usual. Apples, peaches and 

 potatoes have been our most profitable crops. Considered as a whole 

 the season has been a profitable one for our farmers. Streams, springs 

 and wells are not yet recovered from drought. 



Lexington (Howard M. Munroe). — The corn crop is about 75 

 per cent of the normal in value. Root crops are about 60 per cent of 

 the average yield. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seeding 

 is looking very well, but there was less put in than usual. Prices 

 for all crops have been good. Some of the market-garden crops have 

 been our most profitable crops and hay and potatoes have been our 

 least profitable ones. The season can hardly be called profitable, 

 but most farmers have some crops that have paid better than the 

 average. Streams and springs have not recovered from the drought. 



Lincoln (C. S. Wheeler). — The Indian corn crop is 80 per cent 

 of the normal in value. Root crops are not up to the usual average. 

 Farm stock is in fair condition. Fall seeding is below average. Prices 

 have fluctuated widely on farm crops, with the average good. Apples, 

 early sweet corn, early shell beans and early tomatoes have been our 

 most profitable crops and late sweet corn and late tomatoes our least 

 profitable ones. Considered as a whole, the season has hardly been a 

 profitable one for our farmers. Streams, springs and wells have not 

 fully recovered from the effects of drought. 



Stoneham (J. E. Wiley). — Root crops are not up to the average. 

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

 have been higher than usual. Lettuce has been our most profitable 

 crop and cucumbers our least profitable one. Considered as a whole,

 and wells have recovered from the effects of drought.
