premiums sufficient to induce the people to bring out their pro- 

 ducts and compete. I believe many of the counties of the State 

 are in the same want of sufficient funds to carryforward so impor- 

 tant an enterprise. While the State association is surfeited with 

 money, the counties are left weak, and some of them entirely 

 inoperative. 



It appears to me that the premiums offered in the State Society 

 are so large, that there is danger that the competitors will be 

 more ambitious for the game than the name : thereby the emolu- 

 ments arising therefrom are thrown into the hands of monied 

 men, or monopolised by them, and the masses left without suffi- 

 cient encoursgement to stimulate them to action. Would it 

 not be well fur the Legislature to take the matter into considera- 

 tion, and adopt some method which would give a new impulse to 

 the county associations.

 sulted in great credit to those engaged. The election of officers 

 was attended to, and Newbury Bronson was chosen President, 

 and one Vice President in each town. H. L. Comstock was ap- 

 pointed Recording Secretary ; Wm. Bristol, jr., Corresponding

 mteeting adjourned to meet again at the call of the President.

Dear Sir — Your circular of October 4th came duly to hand, 

 containing inquiries concerning the agiicultural aspects of our 

 county. I have not been able to devote as much time to the sub-

 tions according to the best information that I have at hand.
