REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FARMS, MARKET GAR 

 DENS, AND FIELD CROPS. 



FARM OF ELIJAH H. KIMBALL. 



Your committee respectfully report, that ou the 20th day of 

 September last, they visited the farm of Elijah H. Kimball, Esq., 

 at Flatlands, L. I.; for a full description of this farm, they refer to 

 the Transactions of the American Institute for the year 1851, 

 page 43, the description in regard to crops for 1852, will not vary 

 so much this year as to require a distinct report. 



Mr. Kimball's farm, undoubtedly, is in a more perfect state of 

 cultivation than any ether farm of 100 acres visited by your com- 

 mittee. They have awarded to him the first premium for a farm 

 of 100 acres. 



His method of cultivation is described in a communication to 

 your committee, which they herewith append.
