From information given out at the
department of agriculture ii is learned
that the season now drawing To close
has been one OF the greatest for fairs
in the history of the department. The
continuous pleasant weather which
has prevailed during the entire 'falr
period" EaS been all that could be de-
sired by the managers of the various
agricultural exhibitions and thus far
not one association has been reported
as having had to cancel its dates, as Is
often the case in ordinary weather. The
result will be that all the stipend
money to which the various fair aSso-
cations are entitled will be called
for.
The total amount of money available
for that purpose is $lS.SS9.32. which is
obtained by the assessment by the
State for Two cents for each inhabi-
tant. which according to the last CEN
sus was Goa, 446 Were the amount fig
'lred on the actual number of inhapi-
tants now in the State it would no
doubt be quite little more than the
amount above stated AS the fairs are
aow all over the work of figuring out
the stipend belonging to each assccia-
ton will be taken up by the depart
ment which means large amount Of
