than usual, other crops a little higher. Hay has been our most 

 profitable crop and cabbages our least profitable one. Considered 

 as a whole, the season will be about an average one for profit. 



Norton (Wm. A. Lane). — Root crops are up to the usual 

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

 good condition. Prices for crops raised for market remain about 

 the same as usual. Corn has been our most profitable crop and 

 potatoes our least profitable one. Considered as a whole, the 

 season has been a profitable one. 



Baynham (N. W. Shaw). — Root crops are up to the usual 

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

 good shape but backward owing to the dry weather. Prices for 

 farm crops have been fully up to the average. Potatoes have been 

 our most profitable crop and hay our least profitable one. Con- 

 sidered as a whole, the season has been about an average one for 

 profit. 



Berkley (R. H. Babbitt). — Root crops have proved to be up 

 to the usual average. Farm stock is below the average in condi- 

 tion. Fall seeding is in fair condition considering the dry weather. 

 Prices have been fair for all crops except strawberries. Potatoes 

 have been our most profitable crop and strawberries our least 

 profitable one. I think the season has been rather below the 

 average for profit. 



Dartmouth (L. T. Davis). — Root crops are hardly up to the 

 average, owing to severe drought. Farm stock is in fully as good 

 condition as could be expected. Fall seeding is rather backward 

 but otherwise all right. Prices for crops raised for market have 

 been rather below the average. Potatoes have been our most 

 profitable crop and market-garden crops and hay our least profit- 

 able ones. The season has not been a profitable one because of 

 low prices of leading crops and the failure of the hay crop, which 

 increases the cost of the production of milk. 



Acushnet (M. S. Douglas). — Root crops are up to the usual 

 average. Farm stock is in rather poor condition. Fall seeding 

 is not very promising. Prices for crops raised for market have 

 averaged better than usual. Potatoes have been our most profit- 

 able crop and hay our least profitable one. Considered as a 

 whole, the season has been fairly profitable. 



PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 

 Bingham (Aaron Low). — The season has been so dry that 

 root crops are below the average. Most farmers have fed their 

 stock at the barn and so kept it in good condition. The recent 

 rains have improved the condition of fall seeding. Prices of most 

 farm crops have averaged low. Potatoes have been our most
