been a good market for all crops grown. Hay was a liglit crop in 

 some cases, but rowen has generally been better than usual. 



Hinsdale (Thos. F. Bakker). — Indian corn is above the aver- 

 age in value. Root crops are fiue, but little grown. Farm stock 

 is in fair condition, and fall feed held out well, owing to plentiful 

 rains. But little fall seeding has been done. Potatoes have 

 brought higher prices than usual. Corn and oats have been our 

 most profitable crops, and potatoes and garden crops our least 

 profitable ones. Everything considered, the season has been a 

 profitable one. A fine crop of rowen has been secured in this 

 vicinity. 



Dalion (Wesley B. Barton). — Corn is fully up to the normal 

 in value. Farm stock is in good condition. Root crops are up 

 to the usual average. Fall seeding is in fair condition. Prices 

 for crops raised for market have been 15 per cent higher than 

 usual. Hay has been our most profitable crop, and potatoes, 

 except those sprayed, our least profitable one. I think the season 

 has been a profitable one, considered as a whole. 



Windsor (H. A. Ford). — Indian corn is a much better crop 

 than the crops of the last two years. Root crops are average yields. 

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

 Prices for crops raised for market have been about the same as 

 usual. Potatoes are our most profitable crop, and oats our least 

 profitable one. Considered as a whole, the season has been about 

 an average one for profit. 



Savoy (Willis W. Burnett). — The corn crop is probably from 

 two-thirds to three-fourths of the normal in value. Farm stock 

 is in first-class condition. But little fall seeding has been done, 

 but that is in fine condition. Prices of crops raised for market 

 have been fully average. Hay has been our most profitable crop, 

 and corn our least profitable one. The season has been an average 

 one for profit. 



Willidmtitown (S. A. HiCKOx). — Frost has held off so well that 

 a normal crop of Indian corn has matured. Root crops are not up 

 to the usual average. Farm stock is in good condition, as is also 

 fall seeding and pasturage. Prices for crops raised for market 

 have compared well with former years. Grass has been our most 

 profitable crop, and potatoes our least profitable one. Crops were 

 late in maturing, but barns, silos and corn cribs are well filled, and 

 the season has been a profitable one for our farmers. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



Charlemont (J. M. J Legate). — Indian corn is much below 

 the average in value. Root crops have not proved to be average 

 yields. Farm stock is in fine condition, as good as could be ex-
