Windsor (Harry A. Ford). — Indian corn is 80 per cent of a full 

 crop in value. Root crops have proved to be average crops. Farm 

 stock is in good condition. Not much fall seeding has been done in 

 this locality. Prices received for market crops are about equal to 

 those of former years. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop, 

 and apples our least profitable one. Considered as a whole, the 

 season has been a profitable one. We have had enough rain for all 

 crops except rowen; springs are in good shape now; streams and 

 reservoirs very low. 



Hinsdale (Thos. F. Barker). — Indian corn is about three-fourths of 

 the normal in value. Root crops are not average crops. Farm stock 

 is in fair condition, but less will be wintered than usual. No fall seed- 

 ing has been done about here. Prices for market crops are just about 

 average. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop, and root crops 

 and rowen our least profitable ones. Considered as a whole, the 

 season is not over 75 per cent of the average for profit. Lack of rain 

 has reduced all crops. 



Washington (E. H. Eames). — The corn crop is about the same as 

 in former years in value. Root crops are good average crops. Farm 

 stock is in good condition. Fall seeding is in good condition. Prices 

 for crops raised for market are about the same as in former years. 

 Potatoes have been our most profitable crop, and corn our least 

 profitable one. Considered as a whole, the season has been a profit- 

 able one for our farmers. The drought has not affected vegetation, 

 but springs and streams are very low. 



Cheshire (L. J. Northup). — The corn crop compared with the 

 normal is about 60 per cent in value. Root crops are average crops. 

 The condition of farm stock will fall little short of being up to normal. 

 Fall seeding is looking finely. Prices for crops have been well sus- 

 tained. Corn has been our least profitable crop, and hay and potatoes 

 our most profitable ones. As a whole, the season has been quite 

 profitable. The drought injured vegetation; springs and streams are 

 low and need much rain for winter purposes. 



New Ashford (Walter P. Smith). — The corn crop is nearly average 

 in value, but not as good as last year. Most varieties of roots, with 

 extra care, have done well. Farm stock is in rather poor condition, 

 owing to dry pastures. No fall seeding is being done. Prices for 

 crops raised for market are a little higher than usual, owing to shortage. 

 Oats have been our most profitable crop, and corn and potatoes our 

 least profitable ones. The season has not been profitable, hardly a 

 farmer having made expenses. A large rainfall is needed to fit us for 

 winter. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



Rowe (N. E. Adams) . — The value of the corn crop is about three- 

 fourths of the normal. Root crops are about half crops. Farm stock 

 is in fair condition. Not much fall seeding has been done. Apples
