REPORT OF THE OHIO AND SWITZERLAND COUNTIES AGRI- 

 CULTURAL SOCIETY. 



To the Indiana Stale Board of Agriculture : 



In accordance with an act of the Legislature of the State 

 of Indiana, approved February 14, 1851, we submit to the 

 State Board a brief report of the organization of the agri- 

 cultural society composed of the counties of Ohio and 

 Switzerland, in the State of Indiana. 



After having held three meetings in accordance with pre- 

 vious notice, the society was fully organized, and the Treas- 

 urer, Jacob R. Harris, reported that there was an amount of 

 money in his hands sufficient to authorize the society to draw 

 from the treasurers of the two counties, the moneys in their 

 hands, that the law gives to the societies organized by the 

 act above referred to. By an order of the society the officers 

 were requested to present to the treasurers of Ohio and 

 Switzerland counties the proper vouchers, and draw there- 

 from the moneys due the society, and deposit the same in the 

 hands of the treasurer. 



The meeting then adjourned to meet at Quercus Grove, on 

 the first Saturday in April, 1852. 



JOHN HALL, President. 



W. M. French, Secretary. 



Inasmuch as this is the first society that has been organ- 

 ized in this part of the S tate, it might not be considered out 

 of place, to speak of the principal productions of the different 

 kinds of our soil. 



Our lands that are the most productive, lie on the margin
