OXFORD COUNTY. 

 By a. C. Thomas King, Secretary. 



This Society held its Thirty-Fourth Exhibition, October 3d, 4th 

 and 7th, 1876, with more than an average attendance. The 

 weather was unfavorable, and the Fair was adjourned, which 

 caused a less attendance on the last day ; but notwithstanding 

 this, the exhibition was financially successful. There were ninety- 

 nine entries in neat stock, twenty-nine in trials of speed, and 

 thirty-nine in horses, A general satisfaction was manifested with 

 the display in all branches. One crop of corn was entered, con- 

 sisting of one acre, which produced 60| bushels ; and one crop of 

 wheat (Lost Nation) which yielded 28 bushels to the acre. 



No entries were made in planting orchards or in raising nursery 

 stock, and but one in thorough drainage. The introduction of 

 thoroughbred stock seems to be increasing, which gives more 

 than^usual interest to our exhibitions.
