REPORT. 



To the Honorable the State Board of Agriculture : 



Gentlemen : In accordance with the provisions of an Act of the 

 Legislature of the State of California, an Act for the encouragement 

 of agriculture and other industries, approved March 18th, 1878, the 

 Board of Directors of the Mendocino County Agricultural Association 

 herewith submit their first Annual Report for the year 1879. 



We are pleased to state that our first Fair was a success far above 

 our most sanguine expectation, and hereby most heartily report that 

 the benefits in the stimulation of the farmers, manufacturers, stock 

 breeders, and sheep men, to induce them to improve and study their 

 respective products, have amply repaid the toil, trouble, and anxiety 

 we have been compelled to endure, and from reports throughout 

 the county we are assured that our next Fair will be equal to any 

 county or district Fair in the State.
