Berkley (Rollin H. Babbitt). — Indian corn is much above a 

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

 is looking very well. Where seeded early, fall seeding looks well; but 

 where put in late, it is backward for want of rain. Prices have ruled 

 very well for crops raised for market. Sweet corn and potatoes are 

 our most profitable crops, and strawberries our least profitable one. 

 The season has been a fairly profitable one for our farmers, as a whole. 



SivaJisea (F. G. Arnold). — The corn crop is about normal in 

 value. Root crops are up to the usual average. Farm stock is in very 

 good condition. Though late fall seeding looks well. Prices for crops 

 raised for market average about the same as usual. Potatoes have 

 been our most profitable crop, and cabbages our least profitable one. 

 I think the season has been above the average as to profits. 



Westport (Albert S. Sherman). — The corn crop is 25 per cent 

 above the normal. Root crops are up to the usual average. Farm 

 stock is in very good condition, and milch cows are in fine condition. 

 Fall seeding is not good, owing to dry weather and late seeding. Prices 

 for crops raised for market have been rather better than in former 

 years. The corn crop has been our most profitable crop, and potatoes 

 our least profitable one, as they require a great deal of labor and 

 generally do not do well. Onions did not do well, but nevertheless 

 there is a fair crop. Apples are not plenty, but late pears are abun- 

 dant. The season has been a fairly profitable one. 



Acushnet (Moses S. Douglas). — Indian corn is 25 per cent above 

 the normal in value. Root crops are up to the usual itverage. Farm 

 stock is in good condition. Fall seeding is late, and has not got a 

 good start. Prices have been a little better than usual. Hay has been 

 our most profitable crop, and potatoes and apples our least profitable 

 one. The warm weather is holding on remarkably, and fall crops are 

 growing well. I should call the season a profitable one for our farmers. 



PLYMOUTH COUNTY. 



Brockton (Davis Copeland). — Indian corn is better than an aver- 

 age 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 about average. Corn has been our most 

 profitable crop, and potatoes our least profitable one. Considered as 

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



Norwell (H. A. Turner). — The corn crop is about normal in value. 

 Root crops seem to be average yields. Farm stock is in good condi- 

 tion. Fall seeding is in good condition. Prices for crops raised for 

 market are about normal. Caulifiowers and tomatoes have been our 

 most profitable crops, and potatoes and cabbages our least profitable 

 ones. Considered as a whole, the season has been a very good one for 

 our farmers. 



Duxbury (Robert Randall). — The corn crop is not as plentiful 

 as last year. Some root crops show average yields, while others do
