others slight decreases. Corn has been our most profitable crop 

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

 season has been more profitable than for the last few years. 



Maynard (L. H. JNIaynard). — The corn crop was normal, or 

 above, in value. Root crops are up to the usual average. Farm 

 stock looks well and is in good condition. Fall seeding is in good 

 condition. Most crops have sold well and brought fair prices. 

 Apples have sold low, but choice lots brought fair prices. Hay 

 has been our most profitable crop and all crops hkve been good. 

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



Groton (Geo. S. Knapp). — Indian corn is 90 per cent of a 

 normal crop. Root crops are up to the usual average. Farm 

 stock is in good condition. Fall seeding is only in fair condition, 

 the season having been too dry. Potatoes are lower than usual 

 and apples very low, in fact prices for all crops have been lower 

 than usual, except for early truck. Hay has been our most profit- 

 able crop and apples our least profitable one. As there is a good 

 ci'op of hay and a fair crop of corn, also good crops of potatoes, 

 squashes, oats, etc., I should say that the season had been a 

 profitable one. 



Townsend (G. A. Wilder). — Indian corn is about a normal 

 crop. Root crops are up to the usual average. Farm stock is in 

 good condition. Fall seeding is in good condition. Prices for 

 crops raised for market average about the same as usual. Pota- 

 toes, peaches and apples have been our most profitable crops. 

 Considered as a whole, the season has been a profitable one for 

 our farmers. 



Dunstable (A. J. Gilson). — The value of the corn crop is 

 somewhat above the normal. Root crops are above the usual 

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

 good condition and growing finely. In most cases the prices 

 received for crops raised for market have been lower than in 

 former years. Hay has been our most profitable crop and apples 

 our least profitable one. Considering the high prices farmers have 

 to pay for labor and the low prices received for the principal farm 

 products it has not been a profitable season for farmers. 



Tewkshvry (Geo. E. Crosby). — Indian corn is about three- 

 fourths of a normal crop in value. Root crops are up to the usual 

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

 good condition. Prices for crops raised for market have been 

 from 10 to 15 per cent lower than usual. Sweet corn has been 

 our most profitable crop and potatoes our least profitable one.
