apples our least profitable one. The season has been, ou the 

 whole, above the average for profit. 



Daltoii (Wesley B. Barton). — Root crops are up to the usual 

 average. Farm stock is in fair condition. Fall seeding is in good 

 condition. Prices for crops raised for market have been better 

 than in former years. Corn has been our most profitable crop and 

 potatoes our least profitable one. Considered as a whole the 

 season has been a profitable one for our farmers. Torches or 

 smoke are not used in this section to prevent frost. The fall rains 

 have put the pastures and mowings in excellent condition while 

 fall feed has been very good. 



TFmcZsor (W. H. Tirrell). — Root crops have proved to be 

 average crops. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seeding is 

 in good condition. Prices for crops raised for market have main- 

 tained a good average. Potatoes have been our most profitable 

 crop. I think that the season has been a profitable one for our 

 farmers considered as a whole. Torches or smoke are not used to 

 prevent frost. 



Hancock (C. H. Wells). — Root crops are up to the usual aver- 

 age. Farm stock is in good condition. No fall seeding has been 

 done. Prices for crops raised for market have ruled higher than 

 in former years. Hay has been our most profitable crop, with 

 potatoes second, although they have developed considerable rot. 

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

 farmers. Torches or smoke are not used to ward off frost. 



Clarksburg (E. W. Gleason). — Root crops are up to the usual 

 average. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seeding is in very 

 good condition. Prices for farm produce are somewhat higher than 

 usual. Corn has been our most profitable crop and potatoes our 

 least profitable one. Potatoes are not more than half a crop and 

 there are almost no apples at all, but with good hay and corn crops, 

 plenty of rowen and fall feed, beef, poultry, milk and eggs selling 

 well, the farmers in this vicinity have had rather better than an 

 average season for profit.
