There were three entries of corn for 1882. 



George Whiting, Abington, one acre ; average yield, seventy- 

 seven and five-sevenths bushels to the acre. Award ; first 

 premium, $8.00. 



Oscar Weston, Marshfield, one acre ; average yield, sixty- 

 eight and four-sevenths bushels to the acre. Award : second 

 premium, Samuel's Birds of New England. 



Enoch Soule, Duxbury, one-half acre ; average yield, thirty- 

 three and one-seventh bushels. He not having made a 

 report of mode of culture is not entitled to a premium, but 

 is awarded a gratuity of $4,00. 



Your Committee have allowed seventy pounds to the bushel, 

 which they find is the usual amount, yet they think that a 

 larger shrinkage should be allowed. 



We also recommend that all persons who desire to compete 

 for premiums on grain, be required to enter their intention 

 with the Secretary before the tenth of May.
