Groveland (Abel Stickney). — Root crops are up to the usual 

 average. Farm stock was never in better condition. Fall seeding 

 is in uncommonly good condition. Prices have ruled fairly high 

 for all crops raised for market. Hay, corn and forage crops have 

 been our most profitable crops. The season has been as profitable 

 as the average, but our farmers have not been made very rich. 



Ipswich (O. C. Smith). — Root crops are fully up to the usual 

 average. Farm stock is generally in the best of condition. Fall 

 seeding has made a good catch and looks well. Prices for farm 

 crops have been about as usual. Hay and potatoes have been our 

 most profitable crops and corn and apples our least profitable ones. 

 I think the season has been a profitable one as no crop has been 

 a general failure and this has been a prosperous season for the 

 dairy. 



Wenham (N. P. Perkins). — Carrots, beets, onions and parsnips 

 are below the usual average. Farm stock is looking well and fall 

 feed is good. Not as much fall seeding as usual has been done 

 owing to the wet weather. Prices for farm crops are said to be 

 lower than usual. Tomatoes, squashes and carrots have been our 

 most profitable crops and potatoes, parsnips, onions, strawberries, 

 cucumbers and sweet corn our least profitable ones. I do not think 

 the season has been a profitable one. 



Danvers (C. H. Preston). — Root crops are up to the usual 

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

 very good condition. Prices have been about average for crops 

 raised for market. Potatoes have been our least profitable crop. 

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



Manchester (John Baker) . — Root crops have proved to be 

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

 is in good condition. Prices have ruled about as usual. Hay has 

 been our most profitable crop and strawberries our least profitable 

 one. The season has been a good average one. 



NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Cohasset (E. E. Ellms) . — Root crops have been up to the 

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

 is in good condition. Prices have been very much lower this year 

 than previously. Corn has been our most profitable crop and

 profitable one.
