Fruit — apples, pears, and plums, all in abundance. Buildings all 

 good and very convenient. 



I, C. Piatt's farm contains one hundred and fifty acres; of which 

 twenty acres are woodland; five acres were sown to wheat; seven 

 acres to barley; five to peas and oats; three planted to corn; four with 

 potatoes, and forty in grass. The planting ground was manured in 

 the spring. The fences are of posts and boards, stone wall, cedar 

 and ash rails, and generally good. Garden good, containing a great 

 variety of table luxuries; and, in fruit, he may well bear the appella- 

 tion of " Commodore," — a schedule of its variety and abundance 

 being kindly furnished, is herewith presented. 



Your committee respectively award to Edwin Benedict the first 

 premium, and to I. C. Piatt the second.

The committee were much pleased with all the farms that we

 whom to award the premiums. But as we must make a selection, 

 we give to Mr. R. O. Barber the first premium, and to Mr. Jajnes 

 B. Pardy the second.
