AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION AT 

 WILLIMANTIC. 



The annual midwinter meeting of the Board of Agriculture 

 was held in Town Hall, Willimantic, Dec. 12, 13, and 14, 1905, 

 in accordance with the following programme. Favorable 

 weather, attractive speakers, and a large attendance made it 

 one of the most enthusiastic and successful meetings of recent 

 years. 



The exhibits of fruit and other field and farm crops were 

 less in evidence than in some previous years, but what was much 

 more important the producers themselves were there and en- 

 tered heartily into the spirit of the meeting.
