BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Bourne (D. D. Nye). —Root crops have proved to be up to the 

 usual average. Farm stock is in very good condition. Fall seed- 

 ing is in average condition. Prices for crops raised for market 

 have compared favorably with former years. Potatoes have been 

 our most profitable crop and beans our least profitable one. Apples 

 have been a fair crop and in some places an extra good yield. 

 Considered as a whole, the season has been a fair one for profit. 



Sandioich (J. R. Holway). — Turnips look well, other roots 

 little raised. Farm stock is in good condition. Very little fall 

 seeding has been done. Prices for crops raised for market have 

 been fully up to the average. Cranberries and apples have been 

 our most profitable crops. White grubs have damaged many 

 crops and in some pastures have nearly destroyed the grass roots. 

 Considered as a whole, the season has not been very profitable. 



Harwich (A. N. Doane). — Root crops have proved to be aver- 

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

 good condition. Prices for farm crops have compared favorably 

 with other years. Cranberries have been our most profitable crop 

 and hay our least profitable one. Dry weather damaged our up- 

 land mowing fields and pastures. Considered as a whole, the 

 season has been a profitable one. 



Chatham (E. Z. Ryder). — Root crops have proved to be more 

 than average crops. Farm stock is in fine condition. Less than 

 the usual amount of fall seeding has been done and it is in poor 

 condition, owing to failure to germinate, caused by dry weather. 

 Prices for farm crops have been about as usual. Late potatoes, 

 sweet corn and root crops have been our most profitable crops and 

 strawberries and early potatoes our least profitable ones. The 

 cranberry crop has been good in quality, average in quantity and 

 fair in price. Considered as a whole, the season has been less 

 than an average one for profit. 



Orleans (F. H. Snow). — Root crops are up to the usual aver- 

 age. Farm stock is in fairly good condition. Prices for crops 

 raised for market have been about the same as usual or a little 

 better. Asparagus has been our most profitable crop and hay our 

 least profitable one. I do not think the season has been particu- 

 larly profitable. 



Truro (D. E. Paine). — Root crops are up to the usual average. 

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

 Prices for crops raised for market have been about as in former 

 years. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop. Considered 

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