County Agricultural Societies in nearly all
the States of the Union, affords abundant
proof Of the popularity which these institu
tions enjoy. There ore, of course, almost
necessarily, instances of bad management,
and of waste Of the powers and energies
which should be made productive Of direct
and rapid advancement of the agricultural
interest, but it is clearly the sentiment Of
the people that they are useful and pr, fita.
BILE, and as such deserving OF encouragement
and support. We are led to these remarks,
by the consideration that the time for hold
ing the Portage County Fair is rapidly ap-
preaching, and by On earnest desire to in
terest the agricultural community in that
exhibition. Though not exclusively devot.
ed to their interests, there will be much
time and attention given to what especially
concerns them-there will also be many
displays Of other industrial pursuits close.
Iy allied to agriculture. We earnestly en-
treat our farming readers to give their aid, by
their presence and every other means in
their power, to secure a creditable and pre-.
eminently useful demonstration of the in.
dustrial interests of our county at the com
ing Fair.
