FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



Monroe (D. H. Sherman). — Corn is a total failure for grain, 

 and the stover is not over 75 per cent of the normal in value. 

 Root crops are not average crops. Farm stock is in fair condition. 

 But very little fall seeding has been done. Prices for crops raised 

 for market have been average. Hay has been our most profitable 

 crop and corn and root crops our least profitable ones. Considered 

 as a whole the season has been a medium one for profit. 



Leyden (U. T. Darling). — Indian corn is not over 50 per 

 cent of an average crop. Root crops are up to the usual average. 

 Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seeding is in \evy good 

 condition. Prices for crops raised for market have compared 

 favorably with former years. Hay and potatoes have been our 

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

 crop is above the average and has brought good prices. Consid- 

 ered as a whole the season has not been a profitable one. 



Ashjield (Chas. Howes). — Corn is not over half a crop. Root 

 crops are very good. Farm stock is looking well. Fall seeding is 

 in extra good condition. Apples are our most profitable crop and 

 corn our least profitable one. The year is above an average one 

 for profit with our farmers. 



Whately (Frank Dickinson). — Indian corn is 75 per cent of 

 a normal crop for profit. Root crops are up to the usual average. 

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

 tion but is late. Prices have ruled higher than usual for crops 

 raised for market. Tobacco has been our most profitable crop and 

 corn our least profitable one. Considered as a whole the season 

 has been a profitable one for our farmers. 



Sunderland (J. M. J. Legate). — Corn is not one-fourth of a 

 normal crop in value. Root crops have been above the average. 

 Stock will come into the barns in fine condition. Fall seeding is 

 in fine condition, there having been an extra supply of moisture. 

 Prices have been somewhat above the average for crops raised for 

 market. Tobacco will probably prove to be our most profitable 

 crop, and corn is our least profitable one. The season has been a 

 profitable one for most of our farmers. 



Montague (C. S. Raymond). — Corn is not more than 75 per 

 cent of a normal crop in value. Root crops are somewhat better 

 than average crops. Farm stock is in very good condition. Early 

 seeding is looking well, but late seeding is not so good. Prices 

 have ranged about 10 per cent better than usual. Potatoes have 

 been our most profitable crop and corn our least profitable one. 

 Considered as a who4e the season has been a profitable one.
