ROOT CROPS. 



The Committee on Root Crops make the following report : 

 We have received three claims for premiums, viz : — one 

 from H. A. Stiles, of Middleton, for Summer English Turnips, 

 and one each from Hanson Ordway of West Newbury, and 

 David Wentzell of Salem, for onions. 



In the case of Mr. Stiles, we would say that he has ac- 

 quired a wide reputation for success in the raising of English 

 turnips for the summer market. We examined the crop for 

 which he claims a premium before it was gathered, and we 

 respectfully recommend that a premium of $8 be awarded to 

 him. 



We have examined the ground upon which the crop of 

 onions entered by Mr. David Wentzell was raised, and we 

 also saw most of the crop after it was harvested. The yield 

 is a very large one and the evidence of the measurement of 

 land and crop is not only according to rules in form but is 

 satisfactory in substance, and we recommend that a premium 

 of $8 be awarded to him. Respectfully submitted. 



S. A. MERRILL, for the Committee.
