176 WORCESTER SOCIETY. 



The soil on which Mr. Warren's carrots were raised, is a 

 heavy black loam, with clay subsoil. Mr, W. has been pre- 

 paring it for growing fruit trees, for which it is admirably 

 adapted. 



Mr. Warren bestowed no extra labor on his carrots. They 

 were well manured and sowed about right — they were not 

 thinned — they stood well in the row and well filled the ground. 



The field in which Mr. Perry's carrots grew, from which he 

 has selected for premium one-half acre, contains about two 

 acres, most of which was in carrots. 



The field lies well, and evidently is of good soil. Mr. Perry 

 is a good cultivator, and gets well paid for the care bestowed 

 upon his crops. 



By reference to their statements, it will be seen that Mr. 

 Warren obtained from his half acre, 460 bushels, at a cost of 

 ^59 — he obtained a net profit of |61. 



Mr. Perry obtained from his two half acres, 918 bushels, at 

 a cost of ^92 50 ; he obtained a net profit of $137. On one 

 of the half acres he obtained 470 bushels, and on the other half 

 acre he obtained 448 bushels. 



The committee award to Mr. Samuel Perry the first premi- 

 um of $10, on his half acre of carrots, the product of which 

 was 470 bushels. 



And we award to Mr. Jonathan Warren the second premium 

 of $7, on his half acre which produced 460 bushels. 



By the certificate of entries from the hand of the Recording 

 secretary, Mr. Dodge entered two lots of carrots for premium : 

 one lot containing half an acre, and one lot containing one- 

 quarter of an acre. 



By his written statement to the committee, Mr. Dodge re- 

 turns a survey of 101^'^ rods of land, on which he has grown 

 carrots the present year, and for which he claims the society's 

 premium ; but he failed to designate whether he claimed a 

 premium on half or quarter acre. 



In case he had claimed on the first, he would have b^en 

 entitled to the third premium of $5. If he had claimed on 

 the latter, he would have been entitled to the first premium of 

 $10. In consequence of the above omission on the part of Mr. 

 Dodge, the committee have not awarded him any premium. 



By his statement, which we consider as a valuable part of
