feed stuffs are not used in feeding dairy stock. Fall seeding looks 

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

 least profitable one. Farmers have come out about square this 

 season. 



Sandwich (J. R. Holway). — Root crops are average. Farm 

 stock is in good condition. Fall seeding is in very good condi- 

 tion. Potatoes and hay have been our most profitable crops and 

 cranberries our least profitable one. Considered as a whole the 

 season has been fairly profitable. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell). — Root crops are average. Farm 

 stock is in good condition. Concentrated commercial feed stuffs 

 are not used to any great extent in feeding dairy stock. Fall 

 seeding is in fair condition. The season has not been a very 

 profitable one. The cranberry crop has been very large, but prices 

 have ruled very low, in many instances barely paying expenses. 

 This is likely to prove the worst season ever experienced in the 

 cranberry business. 



Brewster (J. H. Clark). — Root crops are average. Farm 

 stock is in good condition. Concentrated commercial feed stuffs 

 are not used in feeding dairy stock. Fall seeding is in good con- 

 dition. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop and cranber- 

 ries our least profitable one.' On the whole the season has been 

 fairly profitable. 



Eastham (J. A. Clark). — Root crops will be a full average. 

 Farm stock is in good condition. Shorts, corn meal and cotton- 

 seed oil meal are used in feeding dairy stock. The leading crops 

 in this town are asparagus and for a late crop white Cape turnips. 

 The first was fairly profitable and the last is usually so. The 

 season has been fairly profitable and perhaps rather above average.

 ally up to the average. Farm stock is in very good condition.

 our least profitable one. The season has not been profitable on 

 account of the drought and the slow sale of produce.
