the exception of potatoes. Farm stock is in good condition. The 

 weather since September 20th has been favorable for fall seeding, 

 and much has been done. Market crops have made quick sales 

 and brought good prices. Hay and forage crops are our most 

 profitable crops, and potatoes and apples our least profitable ones. 

 Considered as a whole, the season has been a profitable one for 

 our farmers. 



Townsend (G. A. Wilder). — Corn is about normal in value of 

 crop. Root crops have proved to be average yields. Farm stock 

 is in good condition. Fall seeding is in normal condition. Prices 

 for crops raised for market have ruled about the same as usual. 

 Peaches and apples have been our most profitable crops, and pota- 

 toes our least profitable one, as they are rotting badly. Considered 

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



Pepperell (W. F. Dennen). — Indian corn is a good crop, a little 

 above the normal in value. Root crops are about average yields. 

 Farm stock is in very good condition as a whole. Fall seeding is 

 in quite good condition. Prices for crops raised for market have 

 been fully as high as for a few years past. Apples and hay have 

 been our most profitable crops, and potatoes our least profitable 

 one. Considered as a whole, the season has been quite a profit- 

 able one. 



Chelmsford (P. P. Perham). — The corn crop is a good average 

 in quantity and quality. Root crops are more than average. 

 Farm stock coming in from the outlying pastures is in fine condi- 

 tion. Fall seeding is in fine condition. Crops raised for market 

 are abundant, but prices are low. Hay has been our most profit- 

 able crop, and potatoes our least profitable one. Considered as a 

 whole, the season has been a profitable one, parti}' owing to the 

 abundant apple crop in this vicinity.

 fully up to the normal in value. Root crops are giving average 

 yields. Farm stock is in excellent condition. Fall seeding is in

 average one for profit. 



Wakefield (Charles Talbot). — Indian corn is fully up to last 

 year in value. Root crops are slightly better than usual. Farm 

 stock is in very fair condition. Fall seeding was never in better
