Barnstable (John Bursley). — Indian corn is 90 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 fair condition 

 but late. Prices have ruled 10 per cent higher than average. 

 Cranberries have been our most profitable crop and hay our least 

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

 profitable one for our farmers. White grubs are doing much 

 damage in many pastures and mowings. 



Dennis (Josuua Crowell). — Corn is about two-thirds of a 

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

 Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seeding is late but is all 

 right. Prices for farm crops have perhaps ruled a little better 

 than the average. Cranberries have been our most profitable crop 

 and corn probably our least profitable one. The season has hardly 

 been as profitable as the average, the profits being rather unevenly 

 distributed. 



WeVjleet (E. S. Jacobs). — The late spring and dull season 

 have damaged corn to some extent. Root crops are not as good as 

 usual, especially turnips. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall 

 seeding looks well. Prices have ranged high and crops have found 

 a ready market. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop, and 

 tomatoes, squashes and apples our least profitable ones. Consid- 

 ered as a whole the season has been a profitable one, especially for 

 market gardeners. 



DUKES COUNTY. 



West Tishury (Geo. Hunt Luce). — Considering the present 

 price the corn crop is nearly a normal one in value. Root crops 

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

 Prices for crops raised for market have been above the average. 

 Potatoes have been our most profitable crop and hay our least 

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

 far from an average one for profit. 



NANTUCKET COUNTY. 



Nantucket (Wallace Gardner). — The value of the corn crop 

 is about 80 per cent of that of a normal crop. Root crops are 

 better than average crops. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall 

 seeding is in very good condition. Prices for crops raised for 

 market have ranged about the same as usual. Potatoes, corn and 

 oats have been our most profitable crops. In this section whatever 

 is raised for market brings a good profit, and although crops have 

 not done as well as usual it has been a good season taking every- 

 thing into consideration.
