award is to be made, the machine examined, or duplicates thereof to be exhibited at the Fair," 

 the State Board appointed the following named Directors to make the examination: P. A. 

 Finigan, H. M. La Rue, G. "W. Hancock, and John Boggs. The committee proceeded to San 

 Joaquin County, and, after due examination, made the following report : 



Saceamento, September 14, 1883. 



Mr. President mid Directors of the State Board of Agriculture : 



Gentlkmkn : Your committee, appointed to examine the combined header and thrasher in 

 the field, have made a careful examination of a number of machines of this character, the 

 most of which were in active operation, and, after due consideration, we are of the opinion 

 that the combined header and thrasher known as the " Shippee Machine" is the most com- 

 plete, economical, labor and grain saving, and better adapted to the use of the average farmer. 

 "We believe that it is the greatest invention of the age for the purposes intended, and will com- 

 pletely revolutionize our system of harvesting and thrashing, and it will make a very material 

 reduction in the cost of harvesting our crops. We believe it will, by this method, not cost to 

 exceed two cents per bushel to put the grain in the sack, to the farmer. We are of the opinion 

 that the Shippee Machine is entitled to the award offered, and would so recommend. 

 All of which is respectfully submitted. 



P. A. FINIGAN.
