Prices for crops raised for market are fully up to former years. 

 Hay, tobacco and apples have been our most profitable crops and 

 corn and potatoes our least profitable ones. Considered as a whole 

 the season has been a fairly profitable one for our farmers. 



Westhampton (H. A. Parsons). — Corn is not over half a crop 

 in value of grain and not over a three-fourths crop in value of 

 stover. Root crops have proved to be good crops. Farm stock is 

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

 crops raised for market have been good. Apples are our most 

 profitable crop and corn our least profitable one. Considered as a 

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



Huntington (H. W. Sticknet). — Corn is not more than half a 

 normal crop in value. Root crops have done finely. Farm stock 

 is looking finely. Fall seeding looks well, the wet weather having 

 been favorable to it. The prices for crops raised for market are 

 fully as high as usual. In this and neighboring towns apples are 

 very plenty. Where the soil is light potatoes have been our most 

 profitable crop. 



Chesterfield (Horatio Bisbee). — The corn crop was nearly a 

 failure in this section. Root crops have proved to be average 

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

 condition. Prices for farm crops have been fully up to the aver- 

 age. Apples have been our most profitable crop and corn our least 

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

 a profitable one for our farmers. 



HAMPDEN COUNTS. 



Tolland (E. M. Moore). — Corn is about two-thirds of a normal 

 crop in value. Roots have proved to be about average crops. 

 Farm stock is in good condition. But little fall seeding has been 

 done. Apples are our most profitable crop and potatoes our least 

 profitable one. The season has been as profitable as an average 

 season, considered as a whole. 



Russell (E. D. Parks). — The value of the corn crop is about 

 normal. Root crops are not quite up to the average as a whole. 

 Farm stock is looking well as a general rule. Fall seeding is in 

 very good condition. Prices for crops raised for market have 

 ruled about average. Hay has been our most profitable crop and 

 potatoes our least profitable one. The season has been fairly 

 profitable, but the cold and rain have made it not quite as profit- 

 able as a normal year. 



Westfield (C. F. Fowler). — Corn is 20 per cent below the 

 average for grain, and still more so for fodder. Roots are up to
