pend in a great measure on bow the root crops turn out and the 

 prices obtained, should say it might be an average season. 



Wellfleet (E. S.Jacobs). — Root crops, especially turnips, are 

 hardly up to the average. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall 

 seeding is about in average condition. Prices for farm crops have 

 been very much as usual. Cranberries have been our most profit- 

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

 has been quite a profitable one. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



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

 average shape. Farm stock is in very good condition. There has 

 not been much change in the prices obtained for farm crops. Hay 

 has been our most profitable crop and corn our least profitable one. 

 The season has been about an average one as far as profit is 

 concerned. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (C. W. Gardner). — Root crops are up to the usual 

 average. Farm stock is in fine condition. Not much fall seeding 

 is done here. Prices for farm crops have been much below those 

 of other years. Indian corn and sweet corn have been our most 

 profitable crops and potatoes our least profitable one. The season 

 has been one of good crops but poor prices.
