352 WALDO COUNTY SOCIETY. 



report on " root crops and vegetables," we learn that thirty-four 

 dollars were paid to some twenty exhibitors, mostly for samples of 

 fine roots and vegetables, but no statement or other item of informa- 

 tion is found regarding them beyond the following for which a 

 gratuity was awarded : 



"Two thousand cabbages raised on three-eighths of an acre of 

 land on which were two thousand apple trees." 



For a report on crops is found the following note : 



"Dear Sir : — We have been waiting to receive statements from 

 some that had specimens of corn at the Fair, is why we have not 

 reported before. 



First premium on corn to Howard Murphy ; second do. do. to 

 David Norton ; third do. do. to Robert Patterson. 



First premium on oats to Elijah Morrill of Belfast. 



First premium on barley to Earnest Lingerset of Belfast. 



First premium on beans to Ephraim Ludwig. 



Second premium on peas to Ephraim Ludwig of Liberty." 



No statements whatever accompany this paper on crops, and only 

 one is found at all, viz. : from a Mr. Roberts, on potatoes, which 

 does not appear to be noticed in either report. It is as follows : 



" Campeachy Potatoes. Raised on sandy loam, worked about 

 six inches deep ; previous condition rather poor ; manure, two-thirds 

 hen manure, one-third plaster, mixed and pulverized ; one great 

 spoonful in a hill, and one-half spoonful plaster put on after they 

 come up ; cultivated and hoed once ; harvested September 28th ; 

 yield, two hundred and thirty bushels to the acre. "
