The conditions of entry stipulated that the competition was 

 to be limited to tenant farmers paying a bond-Jide rent for at 

 least three-fovirths of the land in their occupation, the whole 

 of which should be entered for competition. Competitors were 

 required to give full particulars of any land in their occupation 

 outside the area of the competition. In the case of a border 

 farm being partly in one of the above-mentioned counties, and 

 partly in an adjoining county not included in the competition, 

 such farm was considered eligible, provided that the homestead 

 and at least one-half of the land were situated in the area of the 

 competitions. In assessing the proportion of arable and grass 

 land on the occupation, the heath and saltings were not to be 

 included. All land that had been laid down to pasture for ten 

 years was considered as permanent pasture. Competitors must 

 have had the land in their occupation for not less than two 

 years. In the absence of sufficient merit, the Judges had 

 power to withhold the prizes. The Judges were asked specially 

 to consider general management with a view to protit ; the 

 system of cropping ; cleanliness and management of both 

 arable and grass land ; the quality and suitability of live 

 stock, especially that bred upon the farm ; the state of gates, 

 fences, and roads ; the general neatness and state of cottages 

 so far as the tenant was liable ; the mode of book-keeping 

 followed, if any ; the management of the dairy and dairj' 

 produce where dairying was pursued ; and the duration of the 

 tenancy.
