332 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



CATTLE. 



To the President and Members of the Executive Committee: 



Gentlemen — As superintendent of the cattle department at your most 

 successful State Fair of 1901, I submit the following report: 



The whole number of entries of cattle was 458; all that could be accom- 

 modated in the cattle sheds. The entries in each class and the amounts 

 awarded will be found in the report of the secretary. 



The exhibit as a whole was very creditable, and so far as I was able to 

 learn was as free from any dissatisfaction with decisions of judges, as it 

 has been my fortune to experience during the time I have had the honor of 

 being superintendent of this department. 



1 have nothing at this time to offer by way of recommendation except 

 that the closets about the cattle department receive proper attention. 

 Signed, 



W. E. BOYDEN, 



Superintendent.
