/ Although there was more competition
on crops, than heretofore, there are none
of the crops remarkable. But it SHOULD
be born in mind thatthe latter part of tn,
season has been unusually dry. But ther
is little doubt that there were larger crop
raised in the county than several Of tn
following, which were not oflerod for pre-
miums. We.hope chat all who havelaFg
crops will offer them nexty year. The pre-
miums are as follows ~. .,.s{ ~, 81.

The abeve list Of premiums is believe
BY the Secretary to be very nearly CORE,
occording to reports Of committees, bl
\ Il is thought that several Of the manufa'
tured articles do not come within the rej
4 ulations Of the society, and that sever
4 Of the crops are. not such as the societ
viii deem sufficiently meritorious to con
\ within our rules. As tits the underytal
ding that The printed rules in the par
4 phlet viii be strictly adhered to. ID s,is
