300 WISCONSIN AGRICULTUEE. 



WALWORTH COUNTY. 



To THE SeCRKTART OF THE WISCONSIN StATiS AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY. 



Dear Sir : — I ought to make an apology to you for not more 

 promptly attending to the duty of making a brief report of the 

 condition, progress and success of our County Society, but it is 

 to no purpose and I will not, for that reason, do it. 



Our Society is in a flourishing condition, numbering about 

 3&fty life members, and about three hundred who subscribe year- 

 ly. This number in the rich agricultural county of Walworth, 

 to be sure, ought to be qwidrupled^ and I hope soon to see it. 



The Society here has its grounds convenient to our village, 

 nicely fenced and properly shaded, with temporary buildings 

 inside, which I expect will soon be changed into permanent fix- 

 tures. 



Last year there were about three hundred and fifty entries, 

 being a respectable increase over the year preceding. 



The Fair was held last year on the 10th and Ilth days of Sep- 

 tember, and is to be held this year on the 2ith and 25th days of 

 the same month. The address last year was delivered by the 

 Hon. J. R. DoOLiTTLE, and was a rich treat to every farmer and 

 every professional man. 



This Society, by its By-Laws, holds its election on the 2d day 

 of the Fair, on the Fair grounds, after everything else is disposed 

 of 



The ofiicers elected last year, and now serving, are the follow- 

 ing: 



President, Rob't T. Seymour, La Fayette ; Vice President, 

 Seymour Brooks, East Troy ; Treasurer, Edwin HoDGes, Elk
