inclined to be thin in flesh owing to short pasturage. Fall seeding 

 is looking very well and is growing fast. Prices for farm 

 crops have compared well with former years. Apples and hay 

 have been our most profitable crops and none of our leading crops 

 have been unprofitable. The season has been a fairly prosperous 

 one for our farmers. 



Monson (A. H.White). — Root crops are up to the usual 

 average and potatoes rather above. Farm stock is in fair condi- 

 tion though the season has been a poor one for feed. Fall seed- 

 ing is looking very well. Prices for crops raised for market have 

 been about average. Apples have been our most profitable crop 

 and potatoes our least profitable one. I think the season has not 

 been profitable, owing to a shortage of hay and feed in pastures. 



Holland (Francis Wight). — Root crops have proved to be up 

 to the average. Farm stock is rather thin in flesh. Fall seeding 

 is backward and but little has been done. Prices for farm crops 

 are about average with other years. Corn and potatoes have been 

 our most profitable crops and hay has been a light crop. The 

 season has been very fair ; an average one for profit when com- 

 pared with other years.

West Brookfield (L. H. Chamberlain). — Root crops are about 

 85 per cent of an average crop. Farm stock is in good condition. 

 Fall seeding is looking well. Prices for crops raised for market 

 have been fully up to the average. Ensilage corn has been our 

 most profitable crop and field corn our least profitable one. Con- 

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



Oakham (Jesse Allen). — Root crops are up to the usual 

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

 condition. Prices have been about average for crops raised for 

 market. Milk has been our most profitable product and fruit our 

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

 fairly profitable. 



Dana (E. A. Albee). — Root crops are up to the usual average. 

 Farm stock is in good condition, but has been fed in the barn 

 because feed has been short. Fall seeding came up well, but has 

 not made very much growth. Prices for farm crops are about 

 average. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop and corn 

 our least profitable one. Considered as a whole, the season has 

 been a fairly profitable one. 



Winchendon (W. H. Sawyer). — Root crops are rather above 

 the usual average. Farm stock is about 10 per cent off in condi-
