Before completing our report, we cannot but add that we 

 liave been well paid in our migratory rambles about the County, 

 in viewing the various modes of cultivation and listening to the 

 remarks, suggestions and facts that we have heard at our various 

 meetings, and wish that more members of our Society could 

 liave been present, especially at our last meeting on the 6th of 

 October, at the farm, or rather farms of Mr. Gregory at Mar- 

 blehead, where all the crops are raised for seed, and all have 

 a chance to fully develop on those rich, strong lands where 

 the stable, factory and sea manure is used without stint, — as 

 any one would have been convinced at the sight of the heap of 

 150 cords of manure that Mr. Wilkins had already got togeth- 

 er on one of the lots of the Wyman farm. 



The Committee would recommend that the Masters H. L. 

 and W. W. Phelps, of North Andover receive the diploma and 

 ■first premium of $8, for their crop of Early Goodridge pota- 

 toes, 320 bushels to the acre, and that Mr. Charles L. Perkins,
