l*eru (Frank G. Creamer). — The corn crop is about 25 per 

 cent in value as compared with a normal crop. Root crops are up 

 to the usual average. Farm stock is in fair condition. Not much 

 fall seeding has been done. Prices for crops raised for market 

 have compared well with former years. 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. 



Dalton (Wesley B. Barton). — The value of the corn crop is 

 not more than three-fifths that of a normal crop. Root crops are 

 up to the usual average. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall 

 seeding is in good condition. Prices have been good for crops 

 raised for market, probably 20 per cent higher than usual. Market- 

 garden crops have been our most profitable crops and potatoes our 

 least profitable one. In this section the year has been a hard one 

 for farmers. 



Winflsor (H. A. Ford). — Corn is not more than one-half a 

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

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

 condition. Potatoes have not brought as high prices as usual, 

 prices for other crops about average. Oats and apples have been 

 our most profitable crops and corn our least profitable one. The 

 season has not been a very profitable one, having been too cold 

 and wet. 



Savoy (W. W. Burnett). — The corn crop is nearest a failure 

 of any ever raised, being perhaps one-eighth or one-tenth in value 

 of a normal crop. Root crops are about average so far as har- 

 vested. Farm stock is in very fair condition, fully average with 

 former years. Fall seeding is in fine condition. Prices for crops 

 raised for market have been a full average. Hay has been our 

 most profitable crop and corn our least profitable one. The season 

 has been about an average one for profit, as dairy products and 

 poultry products have been in good demand at good prices. Some 

 •of our farmers had dry wood on hand whicli Ihey I>ave sold at good 

 prices, many are now engaged in picking ferns, which has become 

 •quite a fall industry, and later some attention will be given to cut- 

 ting Christmas trees for the city markets, all of which things help 

 out. 



Williamstown (S. A. Hickox). — Indian corn is 60 per cent of 

 a normal crop in value. Root crops are up to the usual average. 

 Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seeding is in good condi- 

 tion. Prices for crops raised for market have ranged a little lower 

 than usual. Oats have been our most profitable crop and potatoes 

 our least profitable one. Considered as a whole the season has not 

 been a profitable one for our farmers. ,
