sion had been advertised weeks previous, and
announced in daily programmes, SO that all
mast have known when aud whore those meet
ings were to be held, but want of interest
prevented q respectable attendance in point d,
of numbers A desire was manifested by
President Angel, and Professor Collier, Of
our State Agricultural College, to meet with
us, and discuss matters pertaining to the wei
fare Of our agricultural people but 30 little
interest was shown by the farmers themselves,
who should be the most interested, that but
little was done in this particular. This !
think was unfortunate and greatly tended to
discourage the few who did favor the discus
sions | cannot but hope that during the
two years to come that we are 90 hold our
fairs in Burlington, we shall be able to co.
operate with those scientific men who showed
a willingness to aid us in our experiments,
and not let our evenings be spent in matters
Of no profit.
Wishing to incorporate with this address
the condition and wants of our State Agricul-
tural College | wrote to Professor Augell q
