Remarks and Special Ruiss for Branch ~
No crop will be deemed a subject Of large culture or as
having claim for Of the latter stated preuiums
unless Il occupies at least eth part all the arabic
land of bona fde farm, whether large or smal-aud
further that shall appear the judges from the extent
Of culture otherwise that such crop cultivated for
its expected farming profit aud not especially aided by
greater expenses incurred merely to obtain premium
mus. be the growth of the persons for whom
premiums may be claimed.
Crops OF corn, tobacco, or Others Of which the
amounts cannot be usually asceraned In the year Of their
growth, before the time for awarding premiums are
proper subjects for premiums Of the growth the year
previous to the awards being made.
Crops Offered largest products have had their
amounts liked with sufficient aecuracy-and for the WHOLE
OF grain, tobacco, other market crops. But grass
roots OF other provender products designed mainly for
home consumption, aud suitable for being wholly
measurement or weighing Of the product Of
avera.e acres, or Of known proportion of the whole
product
The testimony required will be the best that the nature
of the may admit and such will be satisfactory to
the judges.
