have been about as usual. Potatoes have been our most profitable 

 crop and hay our least profitable one. Considered as a whole, the 

 season has not been a profitable one. 



Framingham (H. S. Whittemore) . — All kinds of roots have 

 been average crops. Farm stock is looking well considering the 

 short feed in pastures. Fall seeding is in good condition and look- 

 ing well. Prices have ruled higher than for several years. Sweet 

 corn, beans, cucumbers and cabbages have been our most profit- 

 able crops and onions and potatoes our least profitable ones. As 

 a whole, the season has been a profitable one for the farmer. 



Boxborough (J. F. Hayward). — Root crops are up to the usual 

 average. Farm stock is in fair condition. Fall seeding is not as 

 good as some years. Prices for crops raised for market have been 

 a little higher than usual. Corn has been our most profitable crop. 

 Considered as a whole, I should say that the season has been a 

 profitable one. 



Ashby (A. Wetherbee). — Root crops are up to the usual aver- 

 age. Farm stock is in very good condition. Fall seeding looks 

 very well. Including butter and cream prices for farm crops have 

 been a good average. Hay and corn have been our most profitable 

 crops and apples our least profitable one. The season has not 

 been above the average for profit. 



Dunstable (A. J. Gilson). — Root crops have proved to be good 

 average crops, but are not very extensively raised in this locality. 

 Farm stock is generally in good condition. Fall seeding is some- 

 what late, but is in very good condition. The prices for crops 

 raised for market have been rather below those of former years. 

 Hay and corn have been our most profitable crops and milk, pota- 

 toes and the small grains our least profitable ones. Considered as 

 a whole, the season has been about an average one for profit. 



Chelmsford (P. P. Perham). — Root crops are above the aver- 

 age. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seeding made a good 

 catch and promises well. Good average prices have prevailed for 

 all crops raised for market. Hay has been our most profitable 

 crop and apples our least profitable one. Taken as a whole, the 

 season has been nearly if not quite an average one for profit. 



Carlisle (E. J. Carr). — Root crops have proved to be up to 

 the usual average. Farm stock is in fair condition. Fall seeding 

 is in poor shape. Prices for crops raised for market have been 

 above the average. Corn has been our most profitable crop and 

 potatoes our least profitable one. We do not consider the season 

 a profitable one because of the poor crop of hay and the poor con- 

 dition of our pastures. 



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