WORCESTER COUNTY. 



Dudley (J. J. Gilles). — Root crops are average. Farm stock 

 is in average condition. Fall seeding is in good coudition. Late 

 cabbage has been oar most profitable crop and early cabbage our 

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

 profitable one. 



Warren (W. E. Patrick). — Root crops are not over three- 

 fourths of an average crop. Farm stock is thin in flesh. Concen- 

 trated commercial feed stuffs are not used much in feeding dairy 

 stock. Fall seeding is in fine condition. Hay, oats, barley and 

 rye have been our most profitable crops and corn, potatoes and 

 apples our least profitable ones. The past season has been less 

 profitable than any for a number of years. 



New Bralatree (C. D. Sage). — Root crops have suffered for 

 want of rain. Farm stock is not looking as well as usual, because 

 of poor feed. Wheat bran, Chicago gluten and corn meal in equal 

 parts give good satisfaction for dairy stock. Fall seeding is late, 

 and but little has been done. Hay and oats have been our most 

 profitable crops and potatoes and corn our least profitable ones. 

 The season has not been an average one for profit. 



Petersham (S. B. Cook). — Root crops are average. Farm 

 stock is in good condition. Corn meal and bran are chiefly used 

 for feeding dairy stock. Fall seeding is in very good condition. 

 Hay has been our most profitable crop and apples aud potatoes 

 our least profitable ones. The season has been only moderately 

 profitable. Light rains have been frequent, but not enough water 

 has fallen to prevent many springs and wells from running low. 



Templeton (Lucien Gove). — Root crops are average. Farm 

 stock is not in as good flesh as usual, owing to short feed in past- 

 ures. Corn meal, shorts, fine feed, glutei^ cotton-seed meal, lin- 

 seed meal and mixed feed are used in varying proportions in feeding 

 dairy stock. Fall seeding is generally a good catch, but is in need 

 of rain. Hay, corn and potatoes have been our most profitable 

 crops and apples, pears and small grains our least profitable ones. 

 As a whole the season has been a profitable one. Springs and 

 streams are very low. 



Leominster (W. B. Hosmer).— Root crops average. Farm 

 stock is generally in good condition. Gluten meal, shorts and 

 corn meal are mostly used in feeding dairy stock. Fall seeding is 

 looking well. Hay has given us the best returns and the apple 

 crop the poorest. Quinces are a good crop. The season has 

 hardly been as profitable as usual.
