The Society has been active during the year in creating an interest in better 

 methods in the care of the orchard, in the picking, packing and the marketing 

 of fruit, and the various side helps to successful fruit growing. 



It took an active interest in reviving the Antrim County Agricultural So- 

 ciety and largely through its efforts a successful county fair was held under the 

 auspices of that society and several hundred dollars realized for the fair of 1912. 



The acreage of fruit is steadily being increased in this county and orchards 

 are being cared for. 



CHARLES S. GUILE, 



Secretary.
