squashes and tomatoes almost failures. The season as a whole 

 has not been profitable to a majority of the farmers, although 

 dairj'ing has been fairly profitable. 



Princeton (A. O. Tyleu). — Indian corn is about 75 per cent 

 of a normal crop in value. Root crops are about two-thirds of 

 the usual average. Farm stock is looking well. Fall seeding is 

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

 above the average. Hay has been our most profitable crop and 

 corn our least profitable one. Considered as a whole, the season 

 has been about an average one for profit. 



Lancaster (S. C. Damon). — There is practically no corn crop. 

 Root crops have proved to be average crops. Farm stock is in 

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

 for crops raised for market have been higher than usual. Hay 

 has been our most profitable crop and corn our least profitable one. 

 Considered as a whole the season has not been a profitable one for 

 our farmers. 



Worcester (H. R. Kinney). — Corn is probably not over half a 

 crop in value, some pieces fair, others very poor. Root crops are 

 up to the usual average. Farm stock is fully up to the average in 

 condition. Fall seeding is in fair condition. Produce has sold 

 well and prices have been above the average. Hay has been our 

 most profitable crop and corn our least profitable one. Milk pro- 

 ducers should have had a good year if they had but little land in 

 corn. Vegetables and fruits have given, on the whole, unsatisfac- 

 tory crops, but have sold high. The season has been anything but 

 a satisfactory one for the average farmer. 



Northborough (J. K. Mills). — The value of the corn crop is 

 65 per cent of that of a normal crop. There will be about an 

 average crop of roots. Cattle are looking well and will come to 

 the barns in good condition. Fall seeding is looking extra well. 

 Prices have been good and for some crops much higher than in 

 former years. All crops have proved to be profitable, but corn, 

 potatoes and apples will give the smallest returns. The season 

 has been a profitable one for our farmers. 



Westhorough (B. W. Hero). — The corn crop is about half a 

 normal crop in value. Root crops are below the average. Farm 

 stock is in excellent condition. Fall seeding is looking well. 

 Prices have averaged much higher than usual for crops raised for 

 market. Hay has been our most profitable crop and corn our 

 least profitable one. Considering the increased prices received 

 the season has been an average one for profit. 



Upton (B. A. Jourdan). — The corn crop is not over 50 per 

 cent of a normal crop in value. Root crops are very good ; cab-
