years. Cranberries have been our most profitable crop and onions 

 and potatoes our least profitable ones. Crops have been large and 

 better prices would have made the season a very profitable one. 



Brewster (J. H. Clark). — Root crops have proved to be aver- 

 age. Farm stock is in very good condition. Fall seeding is in 

 Tery good condition. Prices have been better than the average this 

 year. Cranberries have been our most profitable crop and pota- 

 toes our least profitable one, owing to the low prices. The season 

 has, on the whole, been a profitable one. 



Eastham (J. A. Clark). — Roots are full average crops. Farm 

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

 Prices for crops have ruled low. Asparagus has probably been 

 our most profitable crop. I think there has been the least profit 

 in potatoes ; although the crop was good prices have ruled low. 

 The season has been an average one for profit. 



DUKES COUNTY. 

 West Tisbury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Root crops have proved to 

 l)e average. Farm stock is in good condition. But little fall 

 seeding done here. Prices for crops raised for market have ruled 

 lower than in former years. Hay has been our most profitable 

 <;rop and potatoes our least profitable oue. The season has not 

 been a profitable one. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 

 Nantucket (C. W. Gardner). — Root crops are not harvested 

 yet. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seeding is not looking 

 first rate. Prices are very much lower than usual on account of 

 the quantity of all crops. Potatoes have been our most profitable 

 crop and corn our least profitable one on account of the ravages 

 of the corn worm. The season has not been quite up to the aver- 

 age for profit.
