MISCELLANEOUS  IMPLEMENTS 
EXHIBITED  AT  GLOUCESTER,  1909. 
New  Implements. 
Fifty-four  implements  of  the  most  varying  description  were 
entered  under  this  head  for  the  Society’s  Silver  Medal ; one 
was  not  present  and  one  had  been  damaged  in  transit,  leaving 
fifty-two  to  be  examined.  Out  of  these  the  Judges  recommended 
three  for  the  Silver  Medal.  Five  of  the  remaining  entries  were 
for  Potato  Diggers,  but  it  was  considered  impossible  to  come 
to  any  decision  as  to  these  without  a competitive  trial,  and  it 
is  hoped  the  Council  may  be  able  to  arrange  for  such  at 
an  early  date.  Two  other  entries  were  Turnip  Thinners. 
Endeavours  were  made,  but  unfortunately  without  success,  to 
find  a field  (of  turnips)  where  these  could  be  tried,  and  it  was 
therefore  impossible  to  come  to  a definite  opinion  as  to  their 
respective  merits. 
Silver  medals  were  awarded  to  the  three  entries  described 
below  : — 
No.  1134. — Cart,  Farmer's  Road  and  Farm,  with  combined 
Patent  Tipping  and  Brake  arrangements  to  take  weight  off

Ltd.,  Rothwell,  near  Kettering.
