Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Indian corn is better than an 

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

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

 Prices for crops raised for market are better than average. Corn 

 and grass have been our most profitable crops, and potatoes our 

 least profltable. Potatoes gave promise of a good crop, but the 

 rot took about half the crop. Considered as a whole, the season 

 has been a profitable one. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). — Corn is 90 per cent of a full crop 

 in value. Root crops are up to the usual average. Feed has been 

 good and farm stock is in fine condition. Fall seeding looks very 

 nicely. Prices for crops have been high, also the cost of raising 

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

 least profitable one. Considered as a whole, the season has not 

 been a profitable one ; help has been so high, poor and unreliable 

 that the profits have gone to the other party.
