Lancaster (S C. Damon) . — Root crops are good average crops. 

 Farm stock is in thrifty condition. Concentrated commercial feed 

 stuffs are used in feeding dairy stock. Fall seeding is not in as 

 good condition as it should be, on account of the drought. Hay 

 has been our most profitable crop and potatoes our least profitable 

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



Berlin (P. R. Southwick) . — Root crops are average. Farm 

 stock does not look as well as usual. Very little concentrated 

 commercial feed stuffs are used in this locality. Fall seeding is 

 looking quite well. Hay has been our most profitable crop and 

 apples and corn our least profitable ones. The season has been 

 considerably below the average for profit. 



Holden (G. S. Graham). — Root crops are not quite average. 

 Farm stock is not quite in average condition, owing to short past- 

 ures. Gluten meal, cotton-seed and maize feed are used for dairy 

 stock in varying amounts. Fall seeding is hardly in average con- 

 dition. Grass has been our most profitable crop and apples our 

 least profitable one. Crops have been below average, but prices 

 have been better, so the season may be considered an average one. 

 Worcester (S. A. Burgess). — Root crops are not average. 

 Farm stock is thin in flesh. Ten pounds of corn meal and shorts 

 per cow are fed with corn stover and hay. Fall seeding is in 

 average condition. Corn and hay have been our most profitable 

 crops and apples our least profitable one. Pears and peaches 

 were fair crops, and grapes above average. Farming has a little 

 more than paid its expenses, but has fallen off in profit about 70 

 per cent from last year. 



Sutton (O. P. Johnson). — Root crops are average. Farm 

 stock is in splendid condition. Concentrated commercial feed 

 stuffs are not used to any amount in feeding dairy stock. Fall 

 seeding is in fine condition. Hay and milk have been our most 

 profitable crops and apples and potatoes our least profitable ones. 

 The season has been a fairly profitable one. 



MIDDLESEX COUNTY. 



Hopkinton (W. V. Thompson). — Root crops are average. 

 Farm stock is in good condition. Cotton-seed meal, gluten, oil 

 meal and brau are used in feeding farm stock. Fall seeding is in 

 good condition. Ensilage, corn and cabbages have been our most 

 profitable crops. Tomatoes and celery rusted somewhat, late 

 barley was light, turnips are growing well, cabbages are heading 

 well and corn a light yield. On the whole the season has been a 

 profitable one.
