REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON GRAIN CROPS. 



To the Secretary of the Essex Agricultural Society : 



The Committee on Grain Crops report but two entries 

 one of English hay, by Dr. M. L. Chamberlain of North 

 Beverly, which was viewed by the committee June 29th. 

 It was a very fine lot of grass, and we recommend that 

 Mr. Chamberlain have the first premium of seven dollars. 



The second, of Indian corn, by Richard Jaques of 

 Newbury, which was viewed by the committee Sept. 20th, 

 was a fair crop, and we recommend that Mr. Jaques 

 have the second premium of four dollars.
