The Committee would respectfully report tliat the articles ex- 

 hibited, although not numerous, were good, and those that 

 brought lind their articles have clone honor to themselves, and 

 the Committee hope that another year, there will be a much 

 hirger show by the ladies of Sauk County.

FRUIT. 



The Committee on Fruit, report that they were highly grati- 

 fied by the specimens on exhibition, owing to the fact that our 

 county is not an old settled one, and this being the first Fair 

 held in Sauk county, they think the people have sufficient en- 

 couragement to persevere in the cultivation of fruit. 



The specimens of Apples exhibited were splendid, as also the 

 Pears and Grapes; these, as well as Plums, delight in our cli- 

 mate. No well-directed efforts have been made for a sufficient 

 length of time, and when the various exposures, soils and cli- 

 mate that might be tried with success, perhaps, in the cultivation 

 of the Peach, from the fact that the Peach is raised to some 

 extent in Dane county, should stimulate us to further efforts in 

 cultivating this choice fruit. 



To James M. Clark, it is recommended that the premium for the 

 greatest number of good varieties of Apples named, be given, 

 viz : one volume of Transactions.
