ptopcr and fs,ing that the returns received
by the scientific sgricUliuralis, from the
boun,ifdl earth, should occupy conrp'eu-
Gus position.
Although the number OF competitors for
premiums !. not large. yet, from the quail
~ Of specimens. and the quantities produc-
ed from limited extent Of grounds, your
Committee believe that Rutland County
would no, compare unfavorbly with any
county in the State, or, perhaps, Ii, New
England; which fact is a Aat'ering evil
dcnoe Of the science, ingenuity, and indus
try Of our agrieulturists.

plump white wheat vas presented by ) r.

Oats. There was properly but one ap
piicant for premium on this crop, according
to the requirement Of the Society, and you

Beams. T. MouLrHRor, of Rutland
the recipient Of the first premium on tn,
crop, was the only applicant. Raising o.
one fourth acre u "a bushels of excellen
white beans, weighing 81 lbs. per bushel.
II will be seen that the first and secon
premiums on spring wheat were awarde
To the same person, and that the lesser quan
tity draws the greater premium the CON
mittee thinking the quality of the forme
more than compensating for its comparativ
deficiency in quantity.

sequence Of not understanding the time q

very fine, and the produce of the acre WA
: by measurement, 100 "a bushels, 30 g.
. lbs. per bushel, or I07 70 bushels standar
weight Your committee, after investigs
ting Mr. TESTERS case, would recommen
that he receive premium on his oats, Z
quail to the first premium on that crop.

: fine sample Of sugar beets, and raised o
one eighth acre 1903 IL bushels, weighin
: t3 lbs. per bushel. As no premium is o
fered on this crop, your committee can OF
