We regret that our hour for going to press
prcclndes us from giving a synopsis Of the
points made i'll these discussions but from
time to time rs we can spare space We shall
present to our readers the various points Of
interest and instruction presented in the
various essays read before the meeting
The occasion has been all exceedingly
pleasant one from beginning to end, and
although the attendance was not rs large
AS was hoped for, yet the assemblagc was a
thoroughly representative one, and doubt
less many benefits to the people of the
whole State will result from it. There is
no means of agricultural development so
greatly neglected as that of gathering to-
gcthcr by farmers from the various portions
OF the State for the discussion Of topics
pertaining to agricultural matters. These
Summer meetings cannot fail to prove Of
great value i'll the interchange Of the theo-
rics and practice which The various dele
gates present.
