KOOT CROPiS* 



111 



I have little faith in them ; those I that have set have 

 made very little growth. I manured as high as I 

 thought it would do, and cultivated in the best manner 

 but still there is no growth. Perhaps some of the 

 honorable Committee can give me some information in 

 relation to cultivating the drawf, if so, it will be grate* 

 fully received.

ROOT CROPS. 



The Committee on Root Crops have attended to their 

 duties, and after examination of the statements pre- 

 sented, have awarded the following premiums: 



To John Brooks, Jr,, of Princeton, for the most 

 profitable half acre of potatoes, the first pre- 

 mium of $4,00 

 To John Brooks, Jr., of Princeton, for his second 



lot of potatoes, the second premium of 3,00 



In view of the pains w^hich appear to be taken in in- 

 stituting sundry experioients on the field of potatoes 

 entered, and the care in making a detailed statement of 

 the same,-'^^ we recommend to Abel Marshall a gratuity 

 of $2,00. 



To Jabez Fisher, of Fitchburg, for the most pro- 

 fitable eighth of an acre of English turnips, 

 the first premium, $3,00 



^ See Mr. Llarsliall's statement, under tlie head of Experiments, 

 wMcli embraces nearly all contained in his statement intended for thii 

 department.
