EXPERIMENTAL FARMS. 



EXHIBITIONS. 



Quite an assortment of fresh fruit was sent to the Chicago Exhibition for which 

 the Agassiz Experimental Farm received a special award. Exhibits of fruit, and of 

 grain in the straw and cleaned were also made at local exhibitions. 



Several exhibitions in various parts of the province were attended, and a marked 

 improvement in many departments noticed, over exhibitions of the past two or three 

 years. Although the fruit exhibit was small, the quality even this year was excel- 

 lent, and in the interior where irrigation is carried on, the roots were magnificent.

DISTRIBUTION OP GRAIN. 



■ A considerable quantity of grain was distributed last spring, but owing to the 

 lateness of the harvest very few have their threshing done, and in consequence I 

 have only received reports from a few farmers. 



VISITORS. 



I am pleased to report that the interest taken in the farm is increasing, as 

 evidenced by the greater number of visitors and increase of correspondence. 



I have the honour to be, sir 



Your obedient servant, 



THOS. A. SHARPS, 



Superintendent.
