good condition. Prices for crops raised for market have been 

 better than usual. Sweet corn has been our most profitable crop 

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

 season has been a profitable one for our farmers. 



Randolph (R. A. Thayer). — Root crops are rather below the 

 average. Our stock is mostly milch cows and they are in good 

 average condition. Fall seeding is looking well. Market-garden 

 crops have brought good average prices. Hay has been our most 

 profitable crop and potatoes our least profitable one. The season 

 has been a profitable one, taken as a whole. The rains of August 

 and September brought a good after crop of grass on low, well- 

 cultivated land, and now pastures and mowings seem to be in good 

 condition for the season. 



Canton (E. V. Kinsley). — Root crops are not up to the usual 

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

 never in better shape. Prices have ruled high for farm crops. 

 Sweet corn and peas have been our most profitable crop and pota- 

 toes our least profitable one. Milk has been short in supply about 

 all summer, but the price has not been advanced. Winter milk 

 may be a cent or two higher than last winter per can, but this is 

 uncertain as yet. The season has been a fair average one for 

 profit. Grass is in unusually fine condition for the coming winter. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Root crops are up to the usual 

 average. Farm stock is in fair condition. Fall seeding is not up 

 to the average in condition. Prices for crops raised for market 

 have been fair this season. Hay and fruit have been our most 

 profitable crops and potatoes our least profitable one. Considered 

 as a whole, the season has been a profitable one for our farmers. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). — Root crops are from one-half to 

 three-fourths crops. The dry season and poor pastures bring 

 cattle to the barn thin in flesh. Early fall seeding made a poor 

 catch, but late seeding is looking well. Prices for farm crops 

 have been 10 per cent better than usual. Corn has been our most 

 profitable crop and potatoes our least profitable one. Considered 

 as a whole, the season has not been a profitable one, though some 

 crops grown as a side issue, like strawberries, have been a suc- 

 cess. The fall rains have strengthened grass roots and they are 

 going into winter quarters in a strong, healthy condition. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



Easton (H. M. Thompson). — Root crops are not up to the 

 usual average. Farm stock is in good condition, as many milch 

 cows have been fed on the late rowen in the mowing fields. The
