SWEET POTATOES. 
There were but few samples of this superior esculent on ex¬ 
hibition ; enough, however, to convince the unbelievers that, 
though hardly equal to that of North Carolina, the climate of 
Wisconsin is not so unfriendly to the sweet potatoe as they had 
been accustomed to think. 
The best bushel was exhibited, as usual, by A. Bovee, of 
Eagle, to whom the Ten B^ook premium of one barrel of seed 
potatoes, valued at $10, was accordingly awarded. 
SUGAR CANE AND SORGHUM SYRUP. 
The Report of the Committee on Sugar and Syrup Manu¬ 
facture, &c., will be found under the head of Operative Ma¬ 
chinery, where it more properly belongs. It is proper to state 
in this connection, however, that very superior samples of Sor¬ 
ghum Canes, of the Imphee variety, were exhibited by J. C. 
Plumb, of Madison. No premium was offered. 
The Committee found but one sample of Syrup made from 
the Sorghum—a quantity of two gallons, entered by J. C. 
Brayton, of Aztalan. It was manufactured from last year’s 
cane, and though not so good as the Committee had seen, was 
deemed worthy of the premium of $8, offered by the Society.
