GRAIN AND VEGETABLES. 



The committee report, that, considering the past season so unfavora- 

 ble to the production of grain or vegetables, your committee think the 

 show in this department far surpassed any ever exhibited in this county 

 at their annual fairs, and would have compared well with the State fair 

 in quality, if not in quantity. Your committee felt some embarassment 

 in awarding premiums on corn and potatoes, as there were several par- 

 cels shown of the same varieties and of nearly equal merit; jour com- 

 mittee would also notice favorably some very tall coi-n, (said to measure 

 18 feet,) grown by Charles Noble, and some of a smaller variety, 

 grown by Mr. Sherman ; also a few stalks of corn grown by David 

 Antillia, having four or five ears on a stalk ; and your committee would 

 also state that there was exhibited some fine specimens of tomatoes, 

 squashes and cabbages which are not included in the list of premiums. 



Best bushel of seed wheat, Robert Hendershot, ._ $1 00 



2d best bushel of spring wheat, Michael Fishburn, 50 



Best bushel of ears of corn, R. P. Johnson, 50
