REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURAL 

 IMPLEMENTS. 



There were but fourteen exhibitors in this department, 

 yet the exhibit was a large one, both in number and vari- 

 ety, by reason of the fine display of imj)lements made by 

 Messrs. Newhall & Co. of Danvers, Whitcomb & Carter of 

 Beverly, and J. W. Goodhue of Ipswich, making the num- 

 ber of different articles not far from one hundred. Of the 

 various new plows, the committee, not having before them 

 an}^ test of their merits, have nothing to affirm other than 

 wonder that, when in the gang reversible and alternate 

 plows there is so much improvement over the hand land- 

 side class, the public are so slow to adopt them. One of 

 the most striking of the new implements, which was ex- 

 bibited for the first time this season, was a hand onion 

 weeder, the invention of Zephaniah Breed, who originated 

 the famous " Breed weeder." It was on the same princi- 

 ple as that valuable labor saver, being a series of long steel 

 teeth mounted on wheels. Mr. Carter informed us that he 

 had sold several, and that it gave great satisfaction on land 

 that was-not too heavy, if used before the onions broke
