WINDSOR COUNTY FAIR,
AT WOODSTOCK, SEPT. 1928.

The Woodstock Stamlard says Without
Boosting or in any way deviating from the
truth it may be claimed that the Windsor
County Agricultural Society is the most re-
markably successful of any county or local
society in Vermont, if not in New England.
Twcnty-six years has it been in existence
and during all that time it has scarcely held
what might be called poor fair. Our soc-
ETY. has attained an age almost venerable
and to-day has stronger hold on the hearts
of the people of the county than ever before.
The twenty-sixth annual exhibition of the
Society opened auspiciousy on Tuesday. Up
to Monday evening the entries in advance
were far in excess of any previous year, and
yet it taxed to the utmost II large corps of

MON FARM e r..
WINDHAM COUNTY FAIR,
AT NEwFANE, SEPT. 27-2s.

The Windham County Agricultural Socie-
ty (says the Ph9nig) commenced their Goth
annual exhibition at Fayetteville, on Wedncs-
day, Sept. 81, under the most favorable cir
cumstances, the weather and the temper of
the people all seeming to combine to make
the show a success.
The receipts indicate a full Attendance, and
the entries to many departments We're fur
ahead of anything before i'll the history of the
society. Those particularly noticeable were
the OK and horse departments. There were
three town teams, viz Townshend, Putney
and Newfane The ten yoke on the Towns
bend team averaged 1925 pounds, the ten on
their thrce-ycar-old steer team 27O7 pounds.
Putney made u fine show, but came without
their weights. Ncwfane's ten averaged 1909
pounds There were in all So yoke of oxen
and steers on the ground Among the thor
oughbreds was II noble four-ycar-old bull
from the Winslow herd, of Putney, weight
2l75 pounds. The Dutch cattle were fully
represented by l3 fine animals from the
IIoughton farm in Putney, one of them being
II fine yearling bull that took the sweepstakes
prize ut the New England fair ut Lowell,
Mass. The show of brood mares and colts
was far above the average in numbers, and
good in quality.
The wool interest was fully represented;
j. IIoton, of Westminster exhibited II fine
lot of merinos, and James Flint, of Putney,
n flock of 30 Southdowns, among them the
sweepstakes buck,--the animal having twice
taken that prize ut other shows in addition to
the regular first premium OF Sl5; also pen
of five eve lambs, whose average weight was
80 pounds.
The show of field and garden products was
good.
In consideration of the year, the quality of
the fruit exhibited was far superior to what
we had II right to expect. In butter, cheese
and sugar, farmers held good their reputation.
And the ladies department is another of those
nimtable things which we will not under
take to describe.
The attendance on the second day of the
exhibition was not more than two-thirds that
of the day previous. The weather was quite
raw, with cold winds and occasional show
ers, rendering ovorcoats and waterproofs
decidedly comfortable. The trot ut l p. NJ,
was not particularly exciting. The first pre-
MUM of 1926 was won by j. n. Knapp, of
Dummerston. Time, 3: Is, 1907, $40. AT
2 o'clock the address was delivered by Hon.
John Gregory, of Northfield. 1t was IN in
terestng, sound and sensible production;
occupied something over half IN hour in de-
livery, and was received with favor by the
audience.
