(Returned to us October 30.) 



BERKSHIRE COUNTY. 



Sheffield (Dwight Andrews) . — Root crops are average. Farm 

 stock is looking well. Concentrated commercial feed stuffs are 

 used in varying amounts in feeding dairy stock. Fall seeding is 

 looking well. Hay and rye have been our most profitable crops 

 and apples and buckwheat our least profitable ones. Farmers 

 have no reason to complain of the season, 



Lee (A. Bradley). — Farm stock is in first-class condition. 

 Very little fall seeding has been done. The leading crops here 

 are corn, grass, oats, potatoes, tobacco and cabbages, and all have 

 been fair, though none phenomenal. The season has been fully 

 an average one for farmers. 



Richmond (O. F. Smith). — Root crops are average. Farm 

 stock is in fair condition. Concentrated commercial feed stuffs 

 are used in feeding dairy stock, about two quarts per head night 

 and morning. Fall seeding is in fair condition. Hay, oats and 

 potatoes have been our most profitable crops and buckwheat has 

 been our least profitable one. The season has been moderately 

 profitable. There has been a shortage in most of our crops, caused 

 by lack of moisture and destructive storms of wind and hail, but 

 fair prices have been received. 



Windsor (H. A. Ford). — Root crops are average. Farm stock 

 is in good condition. Concentrated commercial feed stuffs are not 

 used in feeding dairy stock to any great extent. Fall seeding is 

 in good condition. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop. 

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