In this county we think an increase of
societies would not be for the good of
our agricultural interests. The feature
OF the exhibition should be in a direction
10 advance the interests of agriculture.
What the principal features OF the ex-
hibition should be, is question worthy
of consideration; locality and clrcum-
stances have very much 10 do in prepar-
lug A program. We are led to think too
much money is offered for horse trotting
for the good of some societies. We
think some new feature introduced,
would give much more gate money.
Parades like what have been witnessed
at our state fairs, seem TO draw the
crowd. We are of the opinion that our
fairs should be place where the educa-
tional phase should be considered as well
a. for recreation and amusement. In
the earlier days of our agricultural fairs
il was q great pleasure 10 listen hall
hour TO some speaker. While to-day II
might not be wise 10 reproduce such
features. still there are others that might
be introduced TO advantage. Evening
meetings would be productive of good.
Statements on all premium goods, how
raised, should be required for the good
of the producer. Am in full sympathy
with all laws prohibiting gambling, or
anv games Of chance on the grounds OF
our societies. IL our fairs are 10 be edu-
Gators, educate TO elevate the young
minds. rather than TO lower and take
from them their money that should be
expended to make them noble men ana
women. L. c. MALLETT.
