has been our most profitable crop and small fruits our least profit- 

 able ones. Considered as a whole the season has been a profitable 

 one and all kinds of crops have been very good. Eggs reached 

 the lowest point, 10 cents per dozen, that they have in a number 

 of years. 



Colrain (A. A. Smith). — Root crops have proved to be about 

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

 condition. There has been a slight increase noted in the prices 

 of farm crops. Fruit, especially apples, has been our most profit- 

 able crop and potatoes our least profitable one. I think the season 

 has been a profitable one as a whole. 



Shelburiie (G. E. Taylor). — Stock is in extra good condition. 

 Fall seeding is a success in every way. Apples have been our 

 most profitable crop and corn and potatoes our least profitable 

 ones. Considered as a whole the season has been a profitable one. 

 Corn was not more than half a crop and potatoes are total failures 

 on some fields and good on others. Apples are fair in quality and 

 bring a remunerative price. 



Conway (Jabez Newhall). — As far as I know root crops have 

 been above the average. Owing to the abundance of feed stock 

 is in fine condition. Fall seeding is looking remarkably well. 

 It is rather early to determine prices as yet but apples are selling 

 pretty well. It is impossible to state which crops have been most 

 profitable as they are not yet sold, but butter, our principal dairy 

 product, has been selling well. With progressive farmers the 

 season has been a fairly profitable one. 



Deerfield (Chas. Jones). — Root crops are a fair average but 

 are selling rather low. Stock in pastures has done well and when 

 sold brings good prices. Hay is a very large crop but sells very 

 low. Potatoes show some good crops but more light ones with 

 prices fair. Corn is not yielding quite as much as was expected 

 but is very sound. Apples are a very light crop but sell for a 

 good price. Tobacco is one of the best crops in years and cured 

 well and is about ready to take from the poles. Onions have been 

 a rather light crop and are selling low. 



Sunderland (J. M. J. Legate). — Root crops are not up to the 

 average. Farm stock is looking well there having been plenty of 

 rain and no frosts to date. Fall seeding never looked better. 

 Prices for farm crops have been about the same as for the past few 

 years. We hope and trust that tobacco will pay better than any 

 other crop and consider that onions have been our least profitable 

 crop. The season has not been a profitable one so far, but with 

 good prices for tobacco and what the farmers may get out of their
