WORCESTER COUNTY. 



Warren (W. E. Patrick). — The corn crop is about two-thirds 

 of a normal crop in vahie. Root crops have proved rather above 

 the average crops. Farm stock is in remarkably good condition. 

 Fall seeding is in first class condition. Grass, potatoes and apples 

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

 As a whole the season has been the most profitable one for several 

 years. 



Silencer (H. H. Kingsbury). — Considering its immaturity the 

 corn crop is not above 50 per cent of the value of a normal crop. 

 The season has been favorable to all kinds of root crops. Farm 

 stock is looking healthy and thrift}'. There seems to be but little 

 variation in the prices of market crops from those received in years 

 past. Hay has been our most profitable crop and corn our least 

 profitable one. The high price of grain has decreased the profit on 

 milk production, but the season has been a normal one for profit. 



New Braintree (C. D. Sage). — Indian corn is about 75 per 

 cent of a full crop in value. Very few root crops are grown, but 

 they have done well. Farm stock is generally in fine condition. 

 Very little fall seeding has been done. Prices for crops raised for 

 market have made a fair average. Grass, oats and apples are our 

 most profitable crops. Considered as a whole the season has been 

 a profitable one for our farmers. 



Oakham (Jesse Allen) . — Corn is about two-thirds of a normal 

 crop in value. Root crops are good crops. Farm stock is in very 

 good condition. Fall seeding looks well. Prices on most crops 

 have ruled a little higher than usual. Milk has been our most 

 profitable product and corn our least profitable crop. Considered 

 as a whole the season has been an average one for profit. Apples 

 are very abundant and of excellent quality. 



Ihibhardston (C. C. Colby). — The corn crop is about GO per 

 cent of a normal crop in value. All root crops have made good 

 growth, especially potatoes. Farm stock is coming to the stable 

 in excellent condition. Fall seeding is in good condition. Pota- 

 toes have made a heavy growth and will prove a paying crop. 

 Corn was very backward and many fields were ruined by the early 

 frosts. The only reason why this will not prove an uncommonly 

 profitable season for our farmers is the high price of grain. 



Petersham (S. B. Cook). — Indian corn is 60 per cent of a nor- 

 mal crop in value. Root crops are more than average crops. 

 Stock is in fine condition. Fall seeding is looking well. Prices 

 for crops raised for market are about the same as usual. Apples, 

 potatoes and hay have been our most profitable crop and corn our
