70 ON PLOUGHING. 



The shortest time taken was by Franklin Alley, and the long- 

 est by John Washburn. The land drawn by Mr. Alley was 

 one of the small ones, and at the speed he drove he would have 

 ploughed one of the lands of proper size in about thirty min- 

 utes. The shortest time taken by any team on the full sized 

 lands was twenty-eight minutes, by B. W. Crowninshield. 

 Average time on the full lands, thirty-four and seven tenths 

 minutes. The committee consider it due to the competitors 

 to say, that the work generally was done remarkably well. 

 David S. Caldwell and John Newhall would have received 

 premiums, if there had been more to award. 



The slight difference of opinion in the committee as to the 

 merits of the work, if they were good judges, is evidence that 

 the ploughing was well done. It was the intention of the 

 committee fo have noted the kinds of ploughs used, but the se- 

 verity of the storm drove the teams from the field before that 

 was ascertained. 



In behalf of the Committee. MOSES NEWELL. 



ON PLOUGHING WITH SINGLE TEAMS. 



The Committee on Ploughing with Single Teams ask leave
