BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Bourne (D. D. Nye). — Indian corn is about a normal crop in 

 value. Root crops are above the average in condition and promise. 

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

 condition. Prices for crops raised for market have been better than 

 last year. Corn has been our most profitable crop and onions our 

 least profitable one. Taking crops altogether there has been a 

 profit on the season, better than was expected. 



Mashjyee (W. F. Hammond). — There will be one-third of a 

 normal crop of corn. Root crops are about average crops. Farm 

 stock is looking well. All crops have brought about average 

 prices. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop and corn our 

 least profitable one. Considered as a whole the season has been 

 profitable, for while some crops fell short prices ranged so much 

 above the average that our farmers have made a small profit. 



Brewster (T. D. Sears). — The value of the corn crop is below 

 that of the normal year. The root crop is above the average of 

 the past few years. Farm stock is in very good condition. Fall 

 seeding is looking well owing to rain and warm weather. The 

 prices received for farm crops are above those of the last two or 

 three years. Cranberries have been our most profitable crop and 

 apples and pears our least profitable ones. Taken as a whole the 

 past season has not been a profitable one for our farmers. 



Orleans (F. E. Snow). — Indian corn is a fairly good crop. 

 Root crops are up to the usual average. Farm stock is not in the 

 best of condition on account of short pastures. Fall seeding is in 

 good condition. Good prices have generally been received for 

 crops raised for market. Cranberries and asparagus have been 

 our most profitable crops and fodder crops our least profitable 

 ones. Considered as a whole the season has been a fairly pro- 

 fitable one. 



Truro (D. E. Paine). — No Indian corn is raised here. Root 

 crops are up to the usual average. Farm stock is in fair condi- 

 tion. Very little fall seeding has been done. Prices received for 

 crops raised for market have been fair. Potatoes have been our 

 most profitable crop. Considered as a whole the season has been 

 a profitable one for our farmers.
