GUI' farmers. Streams, springs and wells have recovered from drought 

 in a measure, but are not yet as full as usual. 



Plympton (Winthrop Fillebrown). — The corn crop is about 75 

 per cent of the normal in value. Root crops are about 80 per cent of 

 the normal in value, except potatoes. Farm stock is in excellent 

 condition. FaU seeding is the best it has been for years. Prices are 

 better than usual for ail crops. Apples and corn have been our best 

 crops, whUe potatoes were almost a failure. The season has not been 

 a very profitable one for our farmers. The water supply is good. 

 Owing to wet weather harvesting has been difficult, especially for 

 rowen. 



Carver (J. A. Vaughan) . — The corn crop is an average crop in 

 value. Root crops are not up to the usual average. Farm stock is 

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

 crops have been better than usual. Cranberries have been our most 

 profitable crop. The season has been a profitable one, considered as 

 a whole, because crops have brought good prices. Streams, springs 

 and wells have recovered from the effects of drought. Continuous 

 rains have interfered with harvesting all crops. 



Mattapoisett (E. C. Stetson). — The corn crop is quite a little more 

 valuable than usual, as corn and fodder are both high in price. Root 

 crops are up to the usual average. Farm stock is in very good condi- 

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

 market have been a little higher than usual. Potatoes have been our 

 most profitable crop and onions our least profitable one. Considered 

 as a whole, the season has not been a very profitable one. Streams, 

 springs and wells have fully recovered from the effects of drought.

 normal. Root crops are looking well and maldng good growth. Farm 

 stock is looking finely, owing to an abundance of fall feed. Fall seed- 

 ing is growing finely. Prices have been higher than usual for most 

 crops. Potatoes have been om* most profitable crop, owing to high 

 prices, and hay our least profitable one. Perhaps the season has been 

 a profitable one, all things considered. We have no lack of water at

 and summer squash are growing as though it were June.
