CLASS G— FARM PRODUCTS. 



D> W. VITTUM, Superintendent. 



To the State Board of Agriculture. 



Gentlemen— Notwithstanding: the fact that the year 1901 was one of the 

 most unfavorable years in the history of the State for the growth of farm 

 crops, the number of exhibits in farm products was but 71 less than in 1900. 

 The quality of the corn exhibited was exceptionally fine, demonstrating- con- 

 clusively that awarding of liberal premiums and the use of the score cards 

 are having effect in greatly improving the quality of the seed used. 



The educational features of the county exhibits were in advance of previ- 

 ous years, more attention being given to the quality and extent of the pro- 

 ducts and their adaptability to the several counties, than to ornamentation 

 and display. 



The exhibit of vegetable and garden products was not as large as should 

 be seen at a State fair. Permitting foreign products to enter in this class 

 has a tendency to discourage home exhibitors. 



The following tabulated and comparative statement gives the number of 

 entries, the amount offered in premiums, and the amount paid in each class. 

 All of which is respectfully submitted:
