■well. Prices have been about as usual. Hay has been our most 

 profitable crop and potatoes our least profitable one. The season 

 has been about an average one for profit. 



Newbury (G. W. Adams). — Root crops are up to the usual 

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

 is hardly average, owing to dry weather. Prices have been well 

 up, when compared with other years. Onions have been our most 

 profitable crop and potatoes our least profitable one. Considered 

 as a whole, the season has been very far from a profitable one. 



Ipswich (0. C. Smith). — Root crops are not up to the average. 

 Farm stock is in good condition and cows have kept up their flow 

 of milk until the frost hurt the grass. Fall seeding is about aver- 

 age in condition, and with more rain will improve. Prices have 

 been higher for farm crops than of late years. Hay has been our 

 most profitable crop and potatoes our least profitable one. It has 

 hardly been a profitable year. Pears plenty, but low in price ; 

 apples scarce and poor ; grapes injured by frost. 



Topsjield (B. P. Pike). — Root crops are up to the usual aver- 

 age. Farm stock is in excellent condition. Fall seeding was 

 never in better shape. Piices have ranged a little above the 

 average for most crops. Hay and milk have been most profit- 

 able with us and apples least so. Considered as a whole, the 

 season has been a profitable one. 



Wenham (N. P. Perkins). — Beets and parsnips, average crops ; 

 carrots, onions and turnips below average. Farm stock is generally 

 looking well, as feed has been good in pastures. Fall seeding is 

 looking well. Pa'ices have been rather better than last year, with 

 some exceptions. Tomatoes, sweet corn and cabbages have* been 

 our most profitable crops, and squashes, peas, onions, potatoes, 

 corn and beets our least profitable ones. If prices hold good this 

 winter the season will be a fairly profitable one.
