been sold and about half of those sold have gone for export ; 

 price 65 cents, including barrel. Prices have been about the same 

 as in former years. Corn has been our most profitable and pota- 

 toes our least profitable crop. Considered as a whole the season 

 has been a profitable one. 



Barre (J. L. Smith). — Farm stock is in good condition. Fall 

 seeding is in extra good condition. One-half the winter apples 

 are already marketed and two-thirds of the crop is sold to be 

 delivered by December 1 ; price 60 cents per barrel F.O.B. in 

 bulk. Very few are exported, most of them going to Philadelphia. 

 Milk and apples bring lower prices than usual, but potatoes bring 

 an average price. There has been no profit in any crop, and the 

 season has not been a profitable one. 



Royalston (A. J. Raymond). — Root crops have proved to be 

 average. Fall feed has been good, and farm stock is in good con- 

 dition. The wet weather has kept fall seeding looking well. 

 About half the winter apples are sold at about ^1 per barrel. 

 Prices are about as usual except for apples, which are lower. Hay 

 has been our most profitable and apples our least profitable crop. 

 I think the season has been an average one for profit. 



Lancaster (S. C. Damon). — Root crops have proved to be 

 average. Farm stock is in average condition. Fall seeding is in 

 extra good condition. One-fourth of the winter apples have al- 

 ready been marketed, with 75 cents per barrel as the highest price. 

 Prices for farm crops have been no higher than in former years. 

 Hay and eggs have been our most profitable crops, and potatoes 

 our least profitable one. Farming has been as profitable as any 

 business in these times. 



Princeton (Preston Knight) . — Root crops have been more 

 than average. Farm stock is in very good condition indeed. Fall 

 seeding is in very good condition. Very few winter apples have 

 been marketed, and there are no buyers in this section ; a few have 

 exported, returns not yet received ; local prices range from 50 

 cents to $1.25 per barrel. Prices have not been over 75 per cent 

 of those of two years ago. Root crops of all kinds have been 

 most profitable, and apples least profitable. Considered as a 

 whole the season has not been a profitable one. 



Sutton (O. P. Johnson). — Root crops are very near an aver- 

 age. Farm stock was never in better condition. Fall seeding 

 is not in very good condition. A small proportion of the winter 

 apples have been sold at $1 per barrel. Prices have not been 

 quite so high as in former years. Hay is our most profitable crop, 

 and apples our least profitable one. I think the season will com- 

 pare favorably for profit with any average one.
