usual. Apples have been our most profitable crop and potatoes 

 our least profitable one, as they bring but forty cents a bushel and 

 there has been much rot. Considered as a whole the season has 

 not been a profitable one. Dairy products are low in price with a 

 surplus of milk. 



Gill (F. F. Stoughton) . — Root crops are up to the usual aver- 

 age. Farm stock is rather thin in flesh. Fall seeding is in good 

 condition on rich, moist land. Potatoes have brought low prices 

 and apples high ones. Corn has been our most profitable crop and 

 cucumbers our least profitable one. 



Ashfield (Chas. Howes). — Root crops are above the usual 

 average in yield and condition. Sheep have done well, but cattle 

 in dry pastures are not looking as well as usual. Prices are higher 

 than usual for most farm products. Hay, apples and tobacco have 

 been our most profitable crops and potatoes our least profitable 

 one, owing to low prices. Although some parts of the season 

 have been very dry I consider the year the best paying one for our 

 farmers for several years. 



Deer field (Chas. Jones). — Root crops are up to the usual aver- 

 age. Farm stock is in good condition, but there is little neat 

 stock kept except milch cows. A fair amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and it is looking fairly well. Prices have been about 

 average for crops raised for market. Tobacco has been our most 

 profitable crop and onions our least profitable one. Onions are a 

 fair crop, but bring low prices. Considered as a whole, the season 

 has been a profitable one to our farmers. 



Sunderland (J. M. J. Legate) . — Root crops have proved to be 

 up to the usual average. Farm stock is looking well. Fall seed- 

 ing is looking well. Prices for crops grown for market are about 

 average, onious below and tobacco above. Tobacco has been our 

 most profitable crop and corn and onions our least profitable ones. 

 I think the season has been a profitable one, as onions, though low 

 in price, have yielded enormously and tobacco is a splendid crop 

 and has sold at good prices. 



Montague (C. S. Raymond). — Root crops are a little more than 

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

 is in fair condition but not up to the usual average. Prices for 

 farm crops have been somewhat below those of former years. 

 Corn has been our most profitable crop and potatoes our least 

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

 as a whole. 



Wendell (N. D. Plumb). — Root crops are above the average 

 in condition. Farm stock is looking well. Fall seeding has a 

 good start and looks well. Prices for crops grown for market
