PENOBSCOT COUNTY SOCIETY. Q\ 



PENOBSCOT COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



This Society hold its Second Exhibition at Bangor, September 

 20th to 22d. The chief article of export from the farm in this sec- 

 tion is the potato — the amount sliipped from Bangor averaging a 

 thousand bushels daily the year round. They are mostly grown 

 on sward land broken up in the spring. Covering the seed and 

 subsequent culture is chiefly done by the use of Chandler's Ilorse- 

 Iloe. A few farmers in this county have raised wheat steadily, 

 and the average yield has been equal to that of most of the West- 

 ern States. More was sown this year than for several years past, 

 and the yield has been highly satisfactory — in one case 39 bushels 

 and upwards per acre. Five P^armers' Clubs have been recently 

 formed and are doing a good work. 



Amount of premiums offered, $1,480 ; amount of premiums 

 awarded, $686.
