There was nothing in the whole Fair that
struck us with more surprise than the extraor-
binary yield of Wheat, Corn, Barley and Pota-
toes. The best farms in Genesee County can
not beat this
On the whole, the Fair showed a gratifying
and encouraging spirit of improvement in all
the departments Of agriculture. But we consid-
err it decidedly unwise to restrict the Fair to
one day. As a mere sho,r, one day is sufficient,
but for the purpose of examining the different
specimens produced, of familiar interchange of
ideas and experience in agriculture,-so AS to
make it of practical utility, which in reality, is
the great end Of such exhibitions, one day is in
sufficient.
There ought to be a meeting Of the members
of the Society on the second day, for social in
tercourse, and every person who claims pre-
MUM, should state in familiar, conversational
manner, on what he POUNDS his claim, the nature
of his soil, and the character of manure used
the seed, and all the particulars of his proceed
ing in the growth or production of the article
presented for premium 1t is only in this way,
that we shall secure the greatest advantages of
Agricultural Associations
