DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tisbury (Geo. Hunt [Luce). — Root crops are in good 

 average condition. Farm stock is in high condition. Not much 

 fall seeding is done in this locality. Prices for crops raised for 

 market have been higher than usual. Hay has been our most 

 profitable crop and corn our least profitable one. Considered as a 

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



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (C. W. Gardner). — Root crops are about two- 

 thirds of the usual average. Farm stock is in fair condition. It 

 has been too dry for fall seeding. Prices for farm crops have 

 been about the same as usual. Corn has been our most profitable 

 crop and potatoes and peas our least profitable ones. The season 

 has not been a profitable one on account of the short hay crop. 

 Many of our farmers have had to sell the most of their herds and 

 there will probably be a big shortage of milk another season.
