OHIO AGRICULTURE
Annual Report of the State
BOard-AnI Interesting and
Valuable Document.

COLUMBUS, o., October 19.-The
forthcoming Ohio Annual Agricultural
Report will be of great interest to the
farming community, and to others.
The first sixty pages are occupied
with the proceedings of the last State
Agricultural Convention, which re-
solved in favor of locating the State
Fair at one place for five years, and re-
suited in bringing it for that length OF
time to Columbus, and will no doubt
still further result in its permanent To-
cation at that city.
The next seventy pages are occupied
with statement of the Second State
Fair, which was held at the city of
Mansfield, and complete list of awards
to exhibitors.

Upon this most extra ordinary crop
Secretary Klippart remarks:
1t is much to be regretted that no
clue is given of the number of pounds
to the bushel, or the season of the year
when it was weighed. A practice pre-
walls in some portions of the State to
estimate three half bushels of ears of
corn as equivalent to one bushel of
shelted corn per acre. Even at this es-
innate it exceeds any crop ever grown
in the Miami or Sciota Valleys of which
we have any record.
This corn was of the Mammoth Dent
variety.

IA bushels to the acre, corn of the yell
