364 NORTH AROOSTOOK SOCIETY. 



Owing to the fact that but few flxrmers have their threshing done, 

 there were but few entries made, and not from the want of interest 

 taken in raising crops. There certainly never was more interest 

 taken in farming, within the influence of the Society, than the

We award the first premium on spring wheat to William F. Hop- 

 kinson ; the second to Daniel G. Palmer ; the third to Hiram 

 Stevens. 



The first premium on peas and oats to Sumner Whitney : the 

 second to Hiram Stevens. 



The first premium on clover seed to William Johnston, 



The first premium on potatoes to E. S. Fowler. 



The first premium on rutabagas to J. W. Haines ; the second to 



E. W. Hojt. 



The first premium on garden vegetables to Jona. Hopkinson ; the 

 second to H. C. Currier. 



The best specimen of spring wheat to Otis Eastman ; second do. 

 to J. W. Haines. 



For the best specimen of oats to E. S. Fowler ; second do. to AV. 



F. Hopkinson. 



For best beans to E. Knight ; second do. to 0. Eastman. 



For best seed corn to E. S. Fowler. 



We also recommend a gratuity to Jacob Bridges for a crop of 

 oats, eighty-nine bushels to the acre, and to J. W. Haines for crop 

 of oats of one acre, eighty-one bushels. 



There were two entries of wheat, one of clover seed, one of herds

 ity and quantity."
