10 FRANKLIN COUNTY SOCIETY. 



The horse department was well filled, especially with trotting 

 horses. Good judges say it was the best trotting ever on the 

 track. 



The display of fruit was excellent, but not as large in quantity 

 as it should have been, as Franklin county is a great fruit-growing 

 county. 



Had our Show been later in the season we probably should have 

 Lad a larger show of young stock which had not then returned 

 from the back pastures. 



The corn crop in this county is above an average ; wheat about 

 seven-tenths of a crop — the weevil and rust having caused loss ; 

 oats and barley a fair crop. Potatoes have suffered to the extent 

 of a third from the disease. Turnips, beets and carrots are not 

 much grown as field crops. 



L. F. Green, Secretary.
