Oxford (D. M. Howe). —The corn crop is about normal in value. 

 Root crops are up to the usual average. Farm stock is in good con- 

 dition. Fall seeding is in fine condition. Prices for crops raised for 

 market have been higher than usual. Apples have been our most 

 profitable crop, and onions our least profitable one. Considered as a 

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



Sutton (C. P. King). — The value of the corn crop is about the same 

 as usual. Root crops are good average crops. Farm stock is in good 

 condition. Fall seeding is in good condition. Tomatoes and cabbages 

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

 one. Considered as a whole, I do not think the season has been a 

 profitable one for our farmers. 



MIDDLESEX COUNTY. 



Hopkinton (W. V. Thompson) . — Indian corn is a httle better than 

 a normal crop. Root crops are up to the usual average. Farm stock 

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

 crops raised for market have been better than usual. The corn crop 

 has been our most profitable crop, both for grain and ensilage. 

 There have been crops in most everything, and they have brought 

 fair prices. Considered as a whole, the season has been a profitable 

 one for our farmers. 



Sudbury (Edgar W. Goodnow). — Corn is above the normal in 

 value. Root crops are about normal. Farm stock is looking well. 

 Fall seeding is not looking well, owing to the dry weather. Crops 

 raised for market have sold low, compared with former years. Cu- 

 cumbers and tomatoes have been our most profitable crops, and 

 sweet corn and cabbages our least profitable ones. Considered as a 

 whole, the season has been an unprofitable one for farmers. 



Stow (Geo. AV. Bradley). — Indian corn is a little above the aver- 

 age. There is about a normal yield of root crops. Farm stock is in 

 very good condition. Early seeding is looking well, but later pieces 

 are uneven. As a whole, prices for farm crops have been a little better 

 than usual. Hay has been our most profitable crop. No crop has 

 been especially unprofitable, as all sold fairly well at some part of the 

 season. I should say the season had been a profitable one for our 

 farmers. 



Dunstable (A. J. Gilson). — The value of the corn crop is about 

 normal. Root crops have proved good in quality and quantity. Farm 

 stock as a whole is in good condition. What fall seeding has been 

 done is in good condition. Crops raised for market have averaged 

 about the same in price as in former years. Hay has been our most 

 profitable crop, and apples our least profitable one. The season has 

 been about an average one for our farmers. 



Carlisle (Alvah Carr). — There was a good crop of corn, but sweet 

 corn brought very low prices. Root crops are good average crops. 

 Stock is in good condition, owing to the abundance of feed. Fall seed-
