ing is in good condition. Prices are as good as those of last 3'car, 

 but not as high as some 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. 



West Bridgewater (F. E. Howard). — Root crops are all good 

 except potatoes. Farm stock is in good flesh. Fall seeding is in 

 good condition. Prices have ruled better than last year. Hay 

 promises to be our best crop and potatoes our least profitable one. 

 The season has not been very profitable. No apples ; grapes late ; 

 pears plenty, but of poor quality. 



Brulgewater (Rowland Cass). — Root crops are slightly above 

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

 looking well. Prices have been slightly higher than in former 

 years. Root crops have been our most profitable crops and potatoes 

 and squashes our least profitable ones. Taken as a whole, I do 

 not consider the season a profitable one. 



Duxb'try (A. M. Goulding) . — Root crops good, turnips being 

 of especially fine flavor. Farm stock is in remarkably good con- 

 dition. Fall seeding is looking even and good, but is a little back- 

 ward. Prices have not varied much for two or three years, llay 

 has been our most profitable crop and potatoes our least profitable 

 one. The season has been the most profitable one for five years, 

 taken all in all. 



Carver (J. A. Vaughan) . — All root crops except potatoes 

 have done well. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seeding 

 is not in good shape, on account of dry weather. Crops raised 

 for market have brought average prices. Hay has been our most 

 profitable crop. Considered as a whole, the season has been a 

 profitable one. The cranberry crop is our leading crop. The crop 

 is small, but the berries are keeping well and promise to bring fair 

 prices. 



Lakeville (Elbridge Cusiiman). — Root crops are up to the 

 usual average. Farm stock is in excellent condition. Fall seed- 

 ins; is in ffood condition. Prices have ruled about as usual. 

 Potatoes, corn and hay have been our most profitable crops and 

 apples our least profitable one. On the whole, I consider the 

 present year to be a favorable one. 



Mattapoisett (A. R. Swift). — Root crops are up to the usual 

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

 is in good condition. Prices have compared well with those pre- 

 vailing in former years. Hay has been our most profitable crop 

 and potatoes our least profitable one. As far as I can learn, the 

 season has been a profitable one.
