 RUSH COUNTY 



REPORT OF THE RUSH COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 

 To the Indiana State Board of Agriculture : 



Yet in its infancy, as our society is, we are not able of 

 course, to make a report that will furnish much information 

 as to the agricultural resources of Rush county, or their de- 

 velopment. 



Considering that we had not been able to do anything 

 practical, except to organize the society, I have confined the 

 matter of my report to the manner of that organization. 



The Rush County Agricultural Society was organized on 

 the 8th day of November, 1851, by the election of 

 Jesse Morgan, President ; 

 Jethro S. Folger, Vice President; 

 Geo. W. Hargitt, Secretary; 

 Joseph Nicholas, Treasurer. 



Our society having adjourned without electing directors 

 on the 8th, met again on Saturday, the 22d of November, 

 and elected the following persons as directors to serve for one 

 year: 



Director for Centre township — S. S. McBride. 



Director for Rushville township — Jas. McConnell. 



Director for Walker township — Geo. Thomas. 



Director for Union township — Garrett Wycoff. 



Director for Posey township — Robert Ford.
