GRAIN. 



The committee appointed by the Trustees to award the 

 society's premiums on Grain, consisted of Solon Carter of 

 Leominster, Ira Carleton and Joseph Upton of Fitchburg, 

 Samuel H. Bailey of Lunenburg, and Joseph P. Reed of 

 Princeton. 



The secretary sent a list of the entries to the chairman 

 early in June. The committee was called together the 24th 

 of June, at which time they learned that Mr. Carleton would 

 not act with the committee, because he had been a member of 

 the grain committee in 1864. They assigned the duties of 

 the committee as follows : 



Samuel H. Bailey was to examine and report upou the 

 fields of Rye and Oats. 



Joseph Upton was to examine and report upon the fields 

 of Wheat. 



Joseph P. Reed was to examine and report upon the fields 

 of Barley and Beans j and Solon Carter was to examine and 

 report upon the fields of Corn.
