 was not brought up We wish the Society womb LOOK lhto the policy of holding State fair b,t once Tn two years. The alternate year the soc;.- ty might send out a committee rumruosed or ita President and others to visit the County fairs .. they might be successivsly held, and reou;re If them report which, with the more impor,ant transactions of the County Societies and agr;cul- tra and industrial statistics of the State colI.- ted by the Secretary, and the Chemists rcnort should be published by the Lepislature Rv County Societies we mean all agriculturnI soc;a- ties (other than the state.) which now or nav hereafter receive aid from the State. This is es- sentially the system of Massachusetts. excent that there no State fair has as yet been held though the need of a State exhibition is felt and acknowledged by the intelligent agriculturis,s os that State.
 Our State is too small to justify the time s,d expense necessary to get up an annual fair Tn. change to biennial fairs might not at first be f.. vored by prominent stock-breeders but VII ara confident that under such system as we have ' suggested, with increased aid from the State to the County Societies, more care and labor devo- ted to preparation, and the increased publicity obtained by larger attendance and more extend. ed newspapers reports, the advantages to this class of exhibitors would not at all be injured. but rather promoted.
