REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON GRAIN CROPS. 



The Committee on Gi-ain Crops have attended to their 

 duties, and present the following report. The number of 

 entries for premiums were two, viz : one for oats by C. K. 

 Ordway & Son of West Newbury, and one of corn by J. 

 N. Meserve, of North Andover. 



The committee would recommend the following awards . 



To C. K. Ordway & Son of West Newbury, crop 



of oats, first premium, $7 00 



To J. N. Meserve of North Andover, crop of corn, 



first premium, $7 00 



The crop of oats entered by C. K. Ordway was viewed 

 July 31st, and it was a tine piece to look at. Some of the 

 straw stood five and one-half feet high. 



The crop of corn entered by J. N. Meserve was viewed 

 Oct. 2d. Not receiving notice soon enough, the corn was 

 cut and shocked when viewed, but it had a fine appearance 

 as far as could be seen. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Daniel D. Adams, for the Committee.
