The result of these expenditures, is seen in the progress which all 

 of these organizations are making in New York State, and in the 

 great impetus that has been given to all branches of her agriculture. 



Ohio apitropriates $20,000 annually to the support of her State 

 Fair, and u«der their law the county agricultural societies are en- 

 titled to two cents per capita, from their counties, not to exceed 

 $800.00 in any one county. The State Horticultural Society receives 

 $1,000 a year and the State Dairymen's Association receives $1,000 

 annually. 



Pennsylvania appropriates nothing for these purposes, and is in 

 consequence behind these other States which border us, in her de- 

 velopment of these interests of her agricultural people.
