358 [Assembly 



Every year adds to the opinions heretofore expressed, of the 

 great advantages resulting from the county organizations. In the 

 counties where they have been most fully sustained, the evidences , 

 of the good resulting from them are so manifest, that every year 

 adds to the number of those who are enrolling themselves as 

 members to aid in the good work in which they are engaged. 



We trust this will continue, until all our counties shall be 

 thoroughly aroused to the importance of systematic and enlarged 

 cfibrt for the advancement of agriculture ; and the time is not far 

 distant, when our whole State will show to all that we have estab- 

 lished a system of husbandry, that developes in a marked degree 

 the resources cf our noble State. 



ALBANY. 



CoEYMANs Town Association. 



Transactions of the Coeymons Town Jlgriculfuial Society ^ held at 

 Coeymans Hullow on the 2dth and dOth days of Sept.j 1852. 



This being the second annual fair held by the society, it 

 had attracted general notice by the inhabitants of the town and 

 the adjoining towns. The farmers came together en masse, bring- 

 ing with them something to contribute to the exhibition. The 

 varieties, quantities and numbers of specimens of all branches of 

 industry exceeded the most sanguine expectations. It had gen- 

 erally been understood that no premiums would be awarded but 

 through the indefatigable exertions of our worthy President, 

 James W. Jolly, the magnanimity of Judge Vanderzee, and the 

 small initiating fee, the society awarded about one hundred pre- 

 miums. It was estimated that three thousand or more persons 

 attended the exhibition each day, and we have yet to learn that 

 one word of dissatisfaction or disapprobation was heard. Every 

 One appeared to be surprised and elated to see the quantity, 

 quality and variety of articles brought together. Many present 

 "who had never before taken an interest in the society, expressed 

 a desire to see it thoroughly established, and a permanent fund 

 created for its future operations.
