HAMPSHIRE COUNTS. 



Greenivich (William S. Douglas). — Root crops are not up to 

 the average. Farm stock is looking rather thin. Cotton-seed meal, 

 bran and corn meal are used in feeding dairy stock. Fall seeding 

 is in fair condition. Potatoes were our most profitable crop. 

 The season has not been as profitable as usual. 



Pelham (J. L. Brewer). — Root crops are fair, but not quite up 

 to the average. Farm stock is looking well. Gluten meal is 

 much used for milk production. Fall seeding has much improved 

 of late. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop and corn and 

 apples our least profitable ones. The season has not been as 

 profitable as last year. 



North Hartley (H. C. Russell). — Root crops are average. 

 Farm stock is thin in flesh. Cotton-seed meal, gluten meal and 

 linseed meal are used for feeding dairy stock. Fall seeding is in 

 good condition. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop and 

 onions our least profitable one. On the whole the season has not 

 been an average one. 



Southampton (C. B. Lyman). — Root crops are not average. 

 Farm stock is not in as good condition as some years. Concen- 

 trated commercial feed stuffs are not used for dairy stock in any 

 large amount. Hay, potatoes and corn are our most profitable 

 crops and tobacco our least profitable one. Farmers' profits will 

 be very small this year, the most of the profit coming from the 

 dairy.

 because of dry weather. Farm stock is rather thin. One or two 

 quarts of cotton-seed meal are used daily in connection with other 

 feeds. Fall seeding is in good condition. Hay has been our most 

 profitable crop and corn our least profitable one. The season has 

 not been a profitable one. 



Goshen (Alvan Barrus). — Root crops are average. Farm 

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

 condition. Hay and potatoes have been omr most profitable crops 

 and apples and corn our least profitable ones. There was no sec- 

 ond crop of hay. On the whole the season has not been a profit- 

 able one for farmers.
