ESSEX COUNTY. 



Haverhill (Eben Webster). — Root crops are about average. 

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

 meal, gluten feed, shorts and corn meal are used in feeding dairy 

 stock. Fall seeding is in very good condition. Our leading crops 

 are all fed to make milk, so it is hard to tell which is the most 

 profitable. The season has not been quite an average one for 

 pro lit. 



West Newbury (J. C. Tarleton.) — Root crops are average. 

 Farm stock is in very good condition. Not much concentrated 

 commercial feed stuffs are used, as the price of milk is not high 

 enough. Fall seeding is in very good condition. Hay and corn 

 are our most profitable crops and potatoes our least profitable one. 

 The season has not been as profitable as usual. 



Newbury (G. W. Adams). — Root crops are average. Farm 

 stock is in fair condition only. Gluten meal with a little cotton- 

 seed is used considerably for farm stock. Fall seeding is rather 

 backward. Onions and potatoes are our most profitable crops 

 and apples our least profitable one. The season has been fairly 

 profitable and would have been more than average if sales had 

 been as good as usual.

 Farm stock is in good condition. Wheat bran, corn meal, cotton- 

 seed meal, gluten meal, germ meal, proteina, etc., are all fed in 

 various mixtures and amounts. Fall seeding is in fair average 

 condition. Hay has been our most profitable crop and potatoes 

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

 as profitable as was expected, but is not so bad as to be discourag- 

 ing.
