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

 well. Prices have been fully up to those of former years. Hay 

 has been our most profitable crop and potatoes our least profitable 

 one. I think the season has been a profitable one. 



liaynham (N. W. Shaw) . — Root crops are not up to the usual 

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

 much above the average in condition. Prices have been about as 

 usual and crops small. Potatoes have been our most profitable 

 crop where they did not blight and corn our least profitable one. 

 This has been about an average year, as far as profit is concerned. 



Dighton (J. N. Paul) . — Root crops are up to the usual aver- 

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

 condition. Prices average about the same as in other years. 

 Strawberries and small fruits were our most profitable crops and 

 potatoes, apples, cabbages and tomatoes our least profitable ones. 

 The season has not been a profitable one, but was better than last 

 year. Strawberry plants are looking well. No good apples in 

 town. Tomatoes not more than 10 per cent of a crop. 



Somerset (Joseph Gibbs). — Root crops are not average. Farm 

 stock is in good condition. Fall seeding, owing to dry weather, 

 is not in good condition. Prices have been better than last season 

 for most crops. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop and 

 cabbages and cranberries our least profitable ones. The season 

 has been more profitable than the last two or three, but I do not 

 think farmers have made much money. 



WestpoH (A. S. Sherman). — Root crops are up to the average, 

 turnips being very fine. Farm stock is in first-class condition. 

 I never saw fall seeding look better. There is very little change in 

 prices except for potatoes, which are higher than usual. Hay has 

 been our most profitable crop and oats our least profitable one. 

 The profits of the season have been rather above the average. 

 Onions almost a failure, apples very scarce, pears plenty. 



Acushnet (M. S. Douglas). — Root crops are not up to the 

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

 in good condition. Prices have compared favorably with those 

 prevailing of late years. Hay has been our most profitable crop 

 and potatoes our least profitable one. Considered as a whole, the 

 season has been a fairly profitable one.

Brockton (Davis Copeland). — Root crops have proved to be 

 good average crops. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seed-
