Farm stock is in fair condition. Fall seeding is in fair condition. 

 Prices for crops raised for market have been somewhat better than in 

 former years. Potatoes have been our most profitable crop. Con- 

 sidered as a whole, the season has been a profitable one for our 

 farmers. 



Wareham (A. B. Savary) . — There is a normal crop of Indian corn. 

 Root crops are below the average. Farm stock is in good condition. 

 Fall seeding is in fair condition. Prices for farm crops have been 

 rather better than usual. Cranberries have been about the only- 

 profitable crop. Most crops have been poor, owing to the dry summer. 

 The season has not been a profitable one for our farmers. 



BARNSTABLE COUNTY. 



Bourne (David D. Nye). — Indian corn is about a normal crop. 

 Root crops are not up to the usual average. Farm stock is in fair 

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

 raised for market have not been up to the usual average. Hay and 

 cranberries have been our most profitable crops, and potatoes our 

 least profitable one. Most farmers and gardeners have averaged about 

 enough from crops to hold their own. 



Falmouth (D. R. Wicks). — Corn as a whole is up to a normal crop. 

 The root crops are average where they were sufficiently advanced to 

 stand the drought, but there were few planted. Farm stock is in good 

 condition, as there is plenty of fall feed. Fall seeding is doing finely. 

 Crops have all brought better prices than usual. Hay has been our 

 most profitable crop, and potatoes our least profitable one. With the 

 prices received, the season must Jiave been a profitable one. 



Barnstable (John Bursley) . — Indian corn is within 5 per cent of a 

 normal crop in value. Root crops are not up to the usual average. 

 Farm stock is in very good condition. Fall seeding is small and back- 

 ward. Prices for crops raised for market have been higher than usual, 

 but no more so than farm labor, feed, etc. Cranberries have been our 

 most profitable crop, and Cape turnips our least profitable one. Con- 

 sidered as a whole, the season has been a profitable one for our 

 farmers. 



Dennis (Joshua Crowell) . — The corn crop is not over two-thirds 

 of the normal in value. Root crops are not xyp to the usual average. 

 Farm stock is in fair condition. Fall seeding is fairly good, but there 

 has been but little done. Prices as a whole are higher than usual. 

 There is not much profit in any crop this year. The cranberry crop 

 has perhaps been the most disappointing of any, as more people de- 

 pend upon that than upon any other. The season as a whole has been 

 a discouraging one. 



Harwich (Ambrose N. Doane). — The corn crop is about normal in 

 value. Root crops are up to the usual average. Farm stock is in 

 fair condition. No fall seeding has been done to speak of. Prices
