cultivated, entirely free from weeds. They brought four and five 

 shillings per bushel. This field was manured with coarse horse ma- 

 nure ; the soil the same as the wheat field. 



Your committee beg leave to express the opinion, that, considering 

 the unfavorable season, these crops were entitled to great commenda- 

 tion. Mr. Townsend is advanced in years, but is constant and diligent 

 in the cultivation of his farm, all parts of which show the result of 

 his intelligent and industrious farming, including his garden, which 

 was rendered highly attractive, by its fine selected flowers and vege- 

 tables. 



The committee think it, as a farm, entitled to particular commen- 

 dation. 



All of which is respectfully submitted.
