aud Indian corn our least profitable one. Considered as a whole

Danvers (C. H. Preston). — Corn is about half an average 

 crop in value. Root crops are fair in many cases, but not up to 

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

 good condition. Cabbages aud in some oases sweet corn have 

 been our most profitable crops and potatoes our least profitable

NORFOLK COUNTY. 



Stovghton (C. F. Curtis). — The value of the corn crop is only 

 about half that of a normal crop. Root crops are up to the usual 

 average. Farm stock is in excellent condition owing to good feed. 

 Fall seeding is catching well. Prices for crops raised for market 

 are about 20 per cent higher than usual. Hay has been our most 

 profitable crop and corn our least profitable one, both for grain 

 and the silo. 1 consider the season has been a very profitable one, 

 as high prices offset some poor crops. 



Canton (E. V. Kinsley). — The corn crop is about two- thirds

 Cabbages have been our most profitable crop. Sweet corn was 

 almost a failure and potatoes rotted badly. The season has not 

 been profitable. Dairy farmers have done well, but the outlook 

 for winter is discouraging as those having silos report from one- 

 half to two-thirds the usual yield, which will not be offset by the 

 possible slight increase in the prices received for milk.

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

 condition. Prices for crops raised for market have been higher 

 than for some years. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop 

 and corn our least profitable one. The season is not up to the 

 normal for profit. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — The corn crop is two-thirds of a 

 normal crop in value. Root crops have proved to be average 

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

 condition. Prices for crops raised for market have been better 

 than usual. Grass has been our most profitable crop and corn 

 and potatoes our least profitable ones. Considered as a whole the
