From the Report of the Committee. 

 The Committee on improved Meadow and Swamp Land find 

 that there were two premiums offered for the best experiments 

 in reclaimed meadow or swamp land of not less than one acre. 

 Entries were made by Messrs. Isaac V. and George Adams, of 

 Hopkinton, in different parts of Little Cedar Swamp. One other 

 entry was made from Southborough, but not coming within the 

 rules of the society, it was not examined by the Committee.
