farmers, as while crops have been short prices have been far above 

 the average. Torches or smoke are not used to any extent to pre- 

 vent frost. 



Stow (G. W. Bradley) . — Root crops are about the same as in 

 former years. Farm stock is looking well. Fall seeding looks 

 better than for some years. Prices for crops raised for market 

 have averaged better than for some years. Potatoes have been 

 our most profitable crop and sweet corn our least profitable one. 

 Considered as a whole the season has been a more profitable one 

 than for some years. Torches or smoke are not used at all to pre- 

 vent frost. 



Maynard (L. H. Maynard). — Root crops are up to the usual 

 average. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seeding is look- 

 ing well. Prices of market crops have ruled higher than for 

 several years. All crops have done well. Considered as a whole 

 the season has been a profitable one. I have known smoke to be

 success, the only difficulty being to make the smoke go where it is 

 wanted. 



Littleton (Geo. W. Sanderson). — Root crops are up to the 

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

 in excellent condition. Prices for crops raised for market have

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

 Torches or smoke are but very little used to prevent frost. 



Tyngsborough (O. L. Wright) . — Root crops are up to the usual 

 average. Farm stock is looking well. Fall seeding is looking

 and cranberries our least profitable one. Considered as a whole 

 the season has been an average one for profit. Smoke has not 

 been used in any way to prevent frost in this section. 



Pepjyerell (P. J. Kemp). — Root crops have proved to be more 

 than average crops. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seed- 

 ing is looking finely. Prices for crops raised for market are better 

 than for several years. Hay has been our most profitable crop and 

 potatoes our least profitable one. The season has been as profit- 

 able as any year, but there is not much profit for the common 

 farmer. Torches or smoke are not used to prevent frost. 



Concord (Wm. H. Hunt). — Root crops are up to the usual aver- 

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