Hay has been our most profitable crop and cranberries our least 

 profitable one, being damaged by a late June frost and early Sep- 

 tember one. The season has been about an average one for profit. 



Barnstahle (John Bursley) . — Indian corn is about 85 per cent 

 of a normal crop, the early frost injuring grain and stover. Root 

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

 tion. Fall seeding is in good condition. Prices for cranberries, 

 our staple crop, are 20 per cent less than in 1902 and 1903, — 

 prices for other crops much the same as usual. Cranberries have 

 been our most profitable crop. Considered as a whole, the season 

 has been a profitable one for our farmers. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell). — Indian corn is about a normal 

 crop. Root crops are hardly up to the usual average. Faitn stock 

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

 Prices for crops raised for market have been about average, rather 

 less than more. The cranberry crop, which is perhaps the main 

 crop in this section, suffered severly from a late frost in June and 

 from frosts of unprecedented severity in September, and at the 

 same time low prices have been received, so that the outcome is 

 far from satisfactory. I think the season has hardly been an 

 average one for profit. 



Brewster (Thos. D.'Sears). — The corn crop is fully up to the 

 average. Root crops are not up to the usual average. The con- 

 dition of farm stock is good. Fall seeding is fully average in con- 

 dition. All crops except cranberries are bringing prices fully up 

 to those ireceived in former years. Cranberries have been our 

 most profitable crop and onions our least profitable one. The 

 season has not been a profitable one for our farmers. 



Eastham (J. A. Clark). — Root crops are not 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 a 

 fair average with former years. Asparagus has been our most 

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

 profitable one for our farmers.
