PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



West Bridgeivater (F. E. Howard). — Root crops a fair average. 

 Farm stock is in first-rate condition. Concentrated commercial 

 feed stuffs are used in feeding farm stock in varying amounts. 

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

 able crop and apples our least profitable one. I should say that 

 the season had not been an average one. 



Marslifield (G. J. Peterson). — Roots are more than average 

 crops. Farm stock is looking well. Corn meal, bran and shorts 

 are the principal grain rations. Fall seeding is in average condi- 

 tion. Corn, potatoes, turnips and cabbages have been our most 

 profitable crops and rowen has been the least profitable. Celery 

 has much improved during the past month. On the whole the 

 season has been a profitable one. 



Halifax (G. W. Hayward). — 'Root crops are a full average. 

 Farm stock is looking well. Very little concentrated commercial 

 feed stuffs are used except corn meal and shorts. Fall seeding is 

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

 were our least profitable one. The season has been a fairly 

 profitable one. 



Kingston (J. H. Cushman) . — Root crops are very good. Farm 

 stock is looking well. Most dairy stock is fed chiefly on fine feed, 

 in varying amounts. Fall seeding is looking fairly well. Hay 

 has been our most profitable crop and apples our least profitable 

 one. The season has been about an average one for farmers. 



Middleborough (C. E. Weston) . — Root crops are average. 

 Farm stock is in fair condition. Fall feed is very good indeed, 

 owing to the lateness of the frosts, and this has greatly helped the 

 stock. Fodder is better than usual for the same reason. Corn 

 and potatoes have been our most profitable crops and beans our 

 least profitable one. On the whole the season has been a profitable 

 one. 



Wareham (A. Savary). — Root crops are hardly average. 

 Farm stock is in very good condition. Fine feed, shorts, bran, 

 cotton-seed meal and gluten meal are used in feeding dairy stock. 

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

 profitable crop and potatoes our least profitable one. The season 

 has been fairly profitable where too much help was not hired.
