Prices for crops raised for market have increased 10 per cent over 

 former years. Potatoes and oats have been our most profitable crops, 

 and garden truck our least profitable. The season has been about an 

 average one for profit, but the high price of everything they buy 

 makes our farmers feel blue. 



Windsor (H. A. Ford) . — The corn crop has all been put into the 

 silo, none having ripened. Root crops are in the best condition for 

 years. Farm stock is in good condition. Fall seeding is in good con- 

 dition. Prices for market crops are as good as ever, if not better. 

 Potatoes have been our most profitable crop. Considered as a whole, 

 the season has been a profitable one for our farmers. Three inches of 

 snow fell on October 20. 



Cheshire (L. J. Northup). — The corn crop is estimated to be about 

 half a normal crop in value. Root crops are normal crops. Farm 

 stock is in fair condition. There is not much fall seeding, but that 

 which has been put in looks well. Crops raised for market have 

 brought good prices. The hay crop has been our most profitable crop. 

 It is hard to say what crop has been least profitable, all having been 

 good. The season as a whole has been a profitable one. 



Savoy (Willis W. Burnett) . — The value of the corn crop is per- 

 haps a fourth or a third that of a normal crop. Root crops are about 

 three-fourths of an average yield, turnips not yet harvested. Farm 

 stock is in fair condition. But little fall seeding has been done. Prices 

 for crops raised for market are above the average. Hay has been our 

 most profitable crop, and corn our least profitable one. Considered as 

 a whole, the season has been a fairly profitable one. The acreage of 

 corn was much less than usual, and it failed to mature well. 



Williamstown (S. A. Hickox). — Indian corn is about three-fourths 

 of a crop. Roots are good average yields. Farm stock will come to 

 the barn in fine condition. Fall seeding shows about a normal stand. 

 Prices for crops raised for market have ranged better than usual. 

 Oats have given a good yield and brought extra prices. Oats are our 

 most profitable crop, and corn our least profitable one. Considering 

 the cold spring and dry summer, the season has been a profitable one. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



Monroe (David H. Sherman). — Indian corn is little raised, and is 

 mostly put into the silo, being late and poorly matured. Potatoes are 

 a good yield, of good quality ; other roots below average. Farm stock 

 is in very fair condition. Fall seeding has been but little done. Prices 

 for crops raised for market have been above average. Hay, potatoes 

 and apples have been our most profitable crops, and corn our least 

 profitable one. Considered as a whole, the season has been above an 

 average one for profit. 



Shelburne (George E. Taylor) . — The corn crop is not over two- 

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