 $107.00. Total number of entries, 462; amount awarded, |2T5.00; ott"ered, 

 ^320.50. A very interesting feature of the exhibit was the display by 

 the Agricultural College of the vegetables, grains and fruits from 

 the Experiment Station of the Upper Peninsula, The people generally 

 were very much surj)rised to see such a fine disi)lay of growth of apples 

 and other fruit as well as corn and other grain, and I may say that 

 they kept Mr, Geismar very busy answering questions in regard to the 

 soil and general features of that part of the State, 



Kesi)ectfully submitted,
