38 REPORTS OP COMMITTEES. 



GRAIN. 



Your Committee on Grain have attended to their duty, and sub- 

 mit the following as their Report : 



Waole number of entries, 14. 



CORN. 



RYE. 



Three entries. Two withdrawn. The third did not come up 

 to the Society's standard weight. 



OATS. 



Three entries. All withdrawn. 



BUCKWHEAT. 



One entry. Withdrawn. 



As the Grain crop is so uncertain in our vicinity, your Committee 

 would recommend to the Society to abolish the standard weiglit of 

 grain and other articles, for several reasons. We think we should 

 have more competition, and be just as likely to get seventy-five or 

 a hundred bushels of corn per acre, and other grains in proportion, 

 as we are with the standard weight, as the seasons are so change- 

 able that farmers can raise a third more grain in some years than 

 others, with the same amount of labor and expense.
