Your Committee cannot let this oppor
tunity pass,without expressing their salts
faction in view of the growing interest
manifested by the farmers of this County
in presenting specimens for competition.
Not only were the specimens more numer.
Gus than ever before offered, but of gu.
perior quality. Your Committee we're
greatly aided in their labor of examination,
by the neat, and concise manner in which,
the specifications were made out, yet id
would have been still more gratifying. id
the method of tillage had been given mora
in detail in all cases, as matter of interest
and information, Great care had been
taken to prepare the several specimens
for exhibition which was highly cred
table to the exhibitors. The creates
difficulty the committee found, was to de- |
termine the superiority among SO mani
good specimens
