COUNTY REPORTS. 301 



This Society last year exchanged the two leading Committees, 

 to-wit: on Horses, and on Neat Stock, with the Rock Co. Agri- 

 cultural Society. And I think it an excellent plan for every 

 Society in the State ; by this means the awards made will natur- 

 ally be made upon the judgement of disinterested men, and men 

 who are strangers not only to the stock upon exhibition, but 

 also, what is very important, to the owners thereof 



We hope to have a spirited time at our Fair this Fall, and I 

 cherish the hope that the time will soon come, when the Wal- 

 worth County Agricultural Society will equal that of any other 

 in the State of Wisconsin. 



I am very respecfully and truly yours, 



Edw. ELDECKm, Secretary.
