Dalton (W. B. Barton). — Root crops are up to the usual aver- 

 age. Farm stock is in fair condition. Fall seeding is in good 

 condition. Prices for farm crops have been fully as good as 

 usual. Milk has been our most profitable product. I should con- 

 sider the season a profitable one. Late rains have put meadows 

 in fair condition. Pastures as a rule have been fed very close, 

 but appear to be in fair condition. Many farmers are feeding 

 large quantities of cider apples, native fruit being very abundant. 



Windsor (VV. H. Tirrell). — Root crops are up to the usual 

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

 poor condition. Prices for farm crops have been about as in 

 former years. Corn has been our most profitable crop and 

 potatoes our least profitable one. Considered, as a whole, the 

 seasou has not been a profitable one for our farmers. 



Savoy (W. W. Burnett). — Root crops are full average crops. 

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

 Most crops are fully up to the average in price. Hay has been 

 our most profitable crop and potatoes, on the whole, our least 

 profitable one. The season has been a fairly profitable one. 

 Apples are so abundant that the crop is not paying very well. 



New Ashford (Eliho Ingraham). — Root crops are up to the 

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

 condition. Prices for farm crops have compared well with other 

 years. Corn has been our most profitable crop and oats and 

 potatoes our least profitable ones. The season has not been a 

 profitable one, considered as a whole. The dry weather caused 

 the grass crop to be light and ruined the pastures.

Monroe (D. H. Sherman). — Root crops are less than the aver- 

 age, owing to drought, perhaps two-thirds to three-fourths crops. 

 Farm stock is in very fair condition. But very little fall seeding 

 has been done in this section. Apples have brought from one- 

 half to two-thirds the usual prices ; potatoes bring fair prices ; 

 turnips average. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop and 

 hay our least profitable one. The season has been about an aver- 

 age one for profit, taken as a whole. 



Heath (0. D. Canedy). —Root crops are up to the usual aver- 

 age. Farm stock is rather thin in flesh as a rule. Fall seeding 

 has been almost a failure, owing to drought. Prices of crops 

 raised for market have compared fairly well with former years. 

 Apples will be our most profitable crop if they bring a fair price, 

 as there is a large crop of fine fruit. Potatoes have been our least
