39 G Report of the Stewards of Implements at the Batter sea Show.

The whole of the above appeared to be ingenious and useful ; 
some were seen in operation, and if this had been the case with 
all, an opinion might have been formed which would have been 
of greater public value. 
From the difficulty of obtaining the requisite accommodation 
so near to the metropolis, the Society did not deem it expedient 
to have general trials of Implements at this Meeting ; but, con- 
sidering the importance of steam cultivation to the public, deter- 
mined to provide sufficient field-room to enable each exhibitor to 
show, in his own way, what he could do. Land was provided 
at Sutton and Horton-Kirby, near the Farningham station on the 
Chatham and Dover Railway, where, although the soil varied 
greatly in character, the difference was not of much importance, 
because the trials were not competitive. Each exhibitor could 
explain to his friends and the public the circumstances under 
which he was placed, and the position he occupied was deter- 
mined by lot, hence there could be no just cause for complaint.
