The Committee on Ploughing with Single Teams respect- 

 fully Report : — There were six Teams entered for premium : 



Jedediah H. Barker, of Andover. Nathan Tapley, of Dan- 

 vers, Franklin Alley, of Marblehead, Elijah Pope, of Dan- 

 vers, Moses Pettingill, of Topsfield, Mary Putnam, of Dan- 

 vers. And they ])loughed as follows : 

 J. H. Barker, 19 furrows in 42 min. Plough — Martin, No. 5. 



The land ploughed had not a tough sward, and was entirely 

 free from small stones. It was ploughed six inches deep, and 

 the furrow slice cut by each plough was two feet in width. 

 The ploughing was all done remarkably Avell, and the Com- 

 mittee were at a loss which of two competitors was entitled to 

 the first premium. Their gallantry however decided in fav- 

 or of Miss Putnam, and tliey awarded the premiums as follows : 

 To Mary Putnam, of Danvers, 1st premium $S 00 



" Franklin Alley, of Marblehead, 2d premium 6 00 



" Nathan Tapley, of Danvers, 3d premium 4 00
