The variety of wheat thus weighed, I regret to say, I am unable to give. Owing to 

 some misunderstanding, no record was made of the weight of other grains. 



BOARD OF TRADE PREMIUMS. 



The liberal premiums oflered by the Detroit Board of Trade for the best and sec- 

 ond best two bushels of wheat and other grains, caused considerable competition from 

 diflcrent parts of the State. Had these premiums been oflered at an earlier day, and 

 thus more time given to thoroughly advertise the same, I cannot doubt but that a 

 very much larger mimber of entries would have been made. 



The Board of Trade appointed a committee of its own membei's, Messrs. Alex. 

 Lewis, R. W. Gillett and E.K.Norton to examine the grain and make tlie awards. 

 The following is the result: 



WHITE "WHEAT. 



Charles Supe, Bay City, Bay county First premium 



G. G. Stewart, Clay township, St. (Jlair county Second i)remium 



RED WHEAT. 



Irving Webster, North Branch, Lapeer county First premium 



PI. B. Iloagland, Flint, Genesee county Second premium 



J. Clark & Son, Hunter's Creek, Lapeer countj^ exhibited a bag of Treadwell which 

 the committee pronounced very fine, and expressed regrets that under the offer made 

 they were unable to give these gentlemen a premium thereon. 



BARLEY. 



David Woodman, Paw Paw. Van Buren county.. First premium 



E. E. Duncan & (Jo., Detroit, Wayne county.. Second premium 



OATS. 



E. H. "Wurtz, East Saginaw, Saginaw county First premium 



F. M. Mauk, Highland Station, Oakland county Second premium 



CLOVER SEED. 



W. A. Conner, "Wasepi. St. Joseph county. First premium 



L. P. Lawrence, L. P. Ronde, Cass county Second premium 



I desire to call j^our attention n)ore directly to the above awards. The premiums 

 offered were liberal and caused active competition. Considering the character and 

 fitness of the gentlemen composing the committee, all will cheerfully concur in their 

 judgment, and accept it as unquestionablj' correct. 



It will be noticed that in wheat, the staple crop, both white and red, the central 

 counties generally, and better known as the northern counties, carried off all the pre- 

 miums—Bay, Lapeer, St. Clair and Genesee— all north of the line of the Detroit, 

 Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railroad.
