good condition. Prices for crops raised for market have been bet- 

 ter than usual. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop and 

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

 has been a fairly profitable one for our farmers. 



Halifax (G. W. Hayward). — Corn is about an average crop. 

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

 condition, better than for a long while. Early fall seeding looks 

 finely. Prices for potatoes are low, the market being glutted for 

 fear of rot, but other crops bring about the usual prices. Hay 

 has been our most profitable crop and corn our least profitable one. 

 The season has been a fairly profitable one, no crop having been a 

 general failure. 



Kingston (George L. Churchill). — Corn is about four-fifths 

 of a normal crop. Root crops have proved to be fairly good. 

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

 fair condition. Prices for crops raised for market have been up 

 to the standard of former years. Potatoes have been our most 

 profitable crop and turnips our least profitable one. The season 

 has been a peculiar one, but most crops have grown well, and the 

 season has been as profitable as usual. 



Rochester (Geo. H. Randall). — Indian corn is about two- 

 thirds of a normal crop. Root crops are up to the usual average. 

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

 good condition. Prices for crops raised for market have been 

 lower than usual. Potatoes and onions have been our most profit- 

 able crops and corn our least profitable one. The season has not 

 been quite satisfactory from the standpoint of profit. The early 

 frost damaged corn and cranberries. Apples plenty and prices 

 low. 



BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Falmouth (D. R. Wicks). — Corn will compare favorably with 

 a normal crop. Root crops, so far as harvested, are up to the 

 usual average. Farm stock is in fine condition, as there is good 

 fall feed and plenty of it. Fall seeding is looking well. Prices 

 for crops raised for market have been a little better than usual in 

 most cases. Potatoes and hay have been our most profitable crops 

 and peas and beans our least profitable ones. Taken as a whole 

 I think the season has been a profitable one. 



Mashpee (W. F. Hammond). — The corn crop is below the 

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

 stock is in good condition, rather above the average. Prices 

 received for crops raised for market have been above the average.
