Hay and rye have been our most profitable crops and potatoes and 

 corn our least profitable ones. Considered as a whole, the season 

 has been a profitable one. 



Douglas (Wm. Abbott). — Root crops are up to the usual aver- 

 age. Farm stock is iu good condition. Very little fall seeding has 

 been done, but that which is in is looking well. Prices are about 

 average except for potatoes, which are higher. Hay has been our 

 most profitable crop and potatoes and apples our least profitable 

 ones. Considered as a whole, I do not think the season has been 

 a profitable one. 



Mendon (J. J. Nutter). — Root crops are nearly up to the 

 average. Farm stock is fully up to the average in condition. 

 Fall seeding is in very good condition. Prices have not differed 

 much from former years on the whole. Hay has been our most 

 profitable crop and potatoes our least profitable one. The season 

 has been quite good, but farming was unprofitable, all things con- 

 sidered. 



Unpedale (Delano Patrick). — Farm stock is in good condition. 

 It has been rather too dry of late for fall seeding. Prices for farm 

 crops have been somewhat above the average. Hay has been our 

 most profitable crop and potatoes and apples our least profitable 

 ones. The season has been slightly less profitable than usual, 

 considered as a whole.

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

 is in fair condition. Hay and corn have been our most profitable 

 crops and potatoes our least profitable one. Considered as a 

 whole, the season was a profitable one. The month was very 

 favorable to farm work, and frost held off until the 10th of the 

 month. 



Framingham (H. S. Wiiittemore) . — Root crops are up to the 

 usual average. All stock is loolving well. Fall seeding is some- 

 what backward, owing to dry weather for the past few weeks. 

 Prices are 50 per cent better than for some years. Tomatoes, 

 sweet corn and onions have been our most profitable crops and 

 cabbages, beets and turnips our least profitable ones. The season 

 has been a profitable one, owing to the higher prices. 



Sudbury (p:. W. Goodnow). — Root crops have turned out 

 well. Stock has done uncommonly well this season. Fall seeding 

 is in good condition. Crops have sold better this year than for- 

 merly. Potatoes, squashes, celery and tomatoes have been our
