they tire somewhat uneven, owing to failure of seed to come 

 up. Judging l)y the reports received it is estimated that the 

 acreage is considerably greater than that of last year. 



The fifth question asked w^as : " How do ctairy i)roducts 

 compare in quantity, quality and price Avith same date last 

 year?" The answers to this question were quite varied. 

 The general opinion seemed to be that dairy products have 

 been a little less in quantity, of about the same quality, and 

 a little better as to prices received. 



The sixth question asked was : " What is the outlook for 

 small fruits, and specify the principal ones grown in 3'our 

 town and probal)le crop compared with previous j^ears ? " 

 Generally speaking the outlook for small fruits is from fair 

 to good. The principal kinds grown are strawberries, 

 blackberries, raspberries, grapes, currants, cranberries and 

 cherries. On account of frosts at the time of blossoming 

 and dry weather at time of fruiting the strawberry crop 

 was greatly injured in some sections and prol)al)ly the crop, 

 as a whole, was not over two-thirds of an average. Black- 

 berries and raspl>erries promise good crops. Grapes also 

 promise well. There was complaint from certain sections of 

 apples and pears dropping from the trees, and the outlook 

 was for small crops. For some unexplained reason Baldwin 

 trees failed to blossom and the crop of apples will be mostly 

 of other sorts.
