Maynard (L. H. Maynard). — Indian corn is fully up to the average 

 in quantity and quality. Root crops are average yields. Farm stock 

 is in good condition. Fall seeding is in good condition and up to the 

 average. Market crops as a whole have brought good prices. The 

 corn crop is very good, and the second crop of hay was very good, 

 though the first was short. Onions were a failure this season. Con- 

 sidered as a whole, the season has been a profitable one. Streams, 

 springs and wells are low, but not quite as bad as a year ago ; vegeta- 

 tion does not appear to be suffering. 



Townsend (Geo. A. Wilder). — The corn crop is an average one in 

 value. Root crops are up to the usual average. Farm stock is in 

 good condition. Fall seeding is in good condition. Prices for crops 

 raised for market have been higher than usual. Potatoes have been 

 our most profitable crop. Considered as a whole, the season has been 

 a profitable one. Wells are rather low. 



Dunstable (A. J. Gilson). — The value of the corn crop is below the 

 normal. Root crops are generally well up to the average. Farm stock 

 as a whole is in good condition. Fall seeding is doing well. As a 

 whole, the prices of farm crops have been about the same as in former 

 years. The hay crop is considered the most profitable. Owing to 

 drought the corn crop has not been as profitable as was expected. The 

 season has been about the same as usual for profit. The drought has 

 retarded vegetation; the streams are filling up slowly, while springs 

 and wells are lower than at any time this season. 



Carlisle (W. A. Clark). — Indian corn is generally a good crop, 

 though some fields did not mature. Root crops are above the average. 

 Farm stock looks well. Not much fall seeding was done, owing to the 

 pressure of other work. Prices for farm crops are somewhat better 

 than an average. Cabbage, sweet corn and potatoes are our most 

 profitable crops, and tomatoes and beans our least profitable ones. 

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

 streams are dry and some wells, but not as much so as last year. 



Billerica (E. F. Dickinson) . — Indian corn is about a three-fourths 

 crop in value. Root crops are average crops. Farm stock is in good 

 condition. Fall seeding is in excellent condition. Prices for crops 

 raised for market have been low. Early vegetables, hay and apples 

 have been our most profitable crop, and strawberries and late vege- 

 tables have been our least profitable ones. The season has been a fair 

 average one for profit; crops good and prices low. Locally we have 

 escaped serious damage from drought. 



Tewksbury (G. E. Crosby). — The corn crop is the most valuable 

 for years. Root crops are giving average yields. Farm stock is in 

 good condition. Fall seeding is in good condition. On the whole, the 

 prices for farm crops are rather better than some years. There is 

 such a variety of crops grown that it is impossible to pick out the 

 most and least profitable. Considered as a whole, the season has not 

 been above the average for profit. Vegetation suffered for a time 

 from drought, and streams, springs and wells are still low.
