FALL CROPS. 



The Committee on Fall Crops submit the following report : The number of 

 entries made were as follows: — 



Four acres of Corn, 13; one acre of Corn, 35; Buckwheat, 28; Potatoes, 

 32; Beans, 7; Beets, 3; Mangel Wurtzel, 2; Carrots, 1; Swedish, Russian, 

 and French Turnips, 10; English Turnips, 5; Cabbages, 5; Sowed Corn, 12; 

 Tobacco, 20; Farms, 12. Whole number, 185. 



As to the quality of these various crops, we would say, that we found corn 

 generally from ten to fifteen days behind time, and was, in many cases, injured 

 by the frost of Sept. 15th. We found some nice and heavy pieces. Pota- 

 toes were in much the same condition, and we estimate them at two-thirds of a 

 full crop. The remaining crops were very good, almost without exception. We 

 make the following awards :
